Nicole Burbank, a nutritional therapy practitioner with a background in functional and precision medicine, joins me for our last episode of this mini-series to discuss something that I have been wanting to discuss for a long time, emotions and food.

 

At some point in our lives, we've all sought solace in food to navigate the complexities of our emotions. This practice is not only widespread but also on the rise. Having personally grappled with some of these tendencies, I'm excited for you all to hear Nicole's insights on improving your emotional coping mechanisms and reclaiming control over your connection with food.

 

What you'll hear in this episode:

[1:15] Have emotions and their impact on food choices always been something medical practitioners were aware of?

[5:00] Why do we turn to food when stressed or sad?

[6:45] How do you differentiate between an emotional eating response and true hunger?

[11:48] The importance of your core belief system and personal narrative when working on your food relationship.

[22:00] How much does your childhood upbringing impact your food relationship and choices?

[27:20] Are there any specific foods or nutrients that can impact your emotions?

[29:02] What are some good places to start for those who want to improve their relationship with food?
