You’re Not Addicted to Food — You’re Addicted to What Food Does for Your Emotions — Leslie Davis Explains the Difference

Food addiction rarely starts with food. It starts with a feeling — stress, loneliness, boredom, grief — and a discovery that eating makes that feeling quieter, at least for a little while. Leslie Davis has spent years working with people who are exhausted from the cycle: the reach for comfort, the temporary relief, the guilt, the shame, the promise to do better, and then the reach again. She joins Stacey Chillemi to get underneath the pattern and look at what is actually driving it. What she shares about the root causes of emotional eating that most diet culture approaches never address, how to start tuning in to your body’s real hunger and fullness signals after years of overriding them, and why building a healthier relationship with your emotions is the work that finally makes a healthier relationship with food possible will reframe everything you thought you knew about why changing your eating habits feels so hard. The problem was never willpower. This episode shows you what it actually is. Website: Become a supporter of this podcast: .
