8. Emotional Eating (Interview from Dr. Tamara Beckford's podcast UR Caring Docs)

On this episode of the High on Life podcast, I’m sharing an interview that I did on the UR Caring Docs podcast with Dr. Tamara Beckford.

In this episode, we cover:

• Most people know what healthy eating is – so why is it so hard to implement?
• We need to go to the root issues of why we don’t follow through
• Diets don’t work – instead they lead to learned helplessness
• When you “fall off the wagon”, you need to train yourself to search for the wins
• Emotional eating has little to do with the actual food. As long as we keep focusing on the food, we’ll miss the actual issues at hand
• Emotional eating is a buffering strategy
• We need to train our brains not to need to escape unpleasant emotions and learn to feel
• Noticing and naming emotions
