Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle

Do you ever find yourself wandering to the fridge every five minutes, opening it, closing it… then going back again? Sometimes there’s nothing even appealing in there, but you still check, just in case there’s some kind of secret snack treasure you missed.

Stress eating isn’t random. It’s a learned behaviour, something many of us picked up years ago and carried into adulthood because no one ever taught us healthier ways to regulate our emotions. We don’t learn emotional regulation in school, so food becomes the quickest, most familiar comfort.

Stress eating is something many of us struggle with, but the good news is that it’s completely possible to break free from it with the right understanding and tools. But what few people realize is that one of the simplest ways to support your mood and mental health isn’t another pill, it’s improving your gut health.

Many people today are afraid of food, and honestly, it breaks my heart. I meet clients who feel guilty for eating a burger or a slice of pizza; they can’t even look me in the eye. Food should not be a source of guilt. Food is nourishment, connection, and one of life’s greatest joys.

Do you ever wonder why you crave sugar or snacks even after eating? It’s not just a lack of willpower. Cravings are often signals from your body, and understanding them is the first step to controlling them.

For nearly two decades, I struggled with stress eating. I thought it was about willpower, but really, it was about how my body and mind were responding to stress.

Cravings aren’t a lack of willpower, they’re signals. Discover the deeper reason behind emotional eating and how to build a healthier relationship with food.

Emotional eating is much more than just a bad habit; it’s often deeply rooted in our biology and psychology. From birth, food has been linked to comfort. Think about babies, when they’re upset, they look for the soothing comfort of breastfeeding or a bottle.
