Summary

If food is the highlight of your day and overeating feels like your only source of joy, relief, or excitement, this episode is for you. We're diving deep into why so many of us give overeating multiple jobs - from being our reward system to our only form of relaxation. You'll discover why treating overeating as the problem might be keeping you stuck, and why calorie counting alone never addresses what's really going on. This conversation goes way beyond typical weight loss advice to explore what happens when food becomes your entire life.
