Summary

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, ButcherBox, and Athletic Greens. Many of us turn to food as a form of comfort, whether it’s due to not being able to tolerate difficult feelings or not having other forms of pleasure, and it leads to a dependence on using food to soothe and disconnect from our emotions. What we don’t realize is that emotional eating is natural and inborn, and it’s not a matter of having too little willpower. The good news is there are so many things we can do to break unhealthy patterns and cultivate a different relationship with food. In today’s episode, I talk with Marc David and Lisa Lampanelli about why so many of us find ourselves eating when stricken with tough emotions, why it’s normal, and what to do about it. Marc David, MA, is the bestselling author of the books Nourishing Wisdom: A Mind-Body Approach to Nutrition and Well-Being and The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss, a frequent speaker and consultant, and host of the celebrated Psychology of Eating Podcast. Marc is also the founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the world’s only health coaching program devoted to teaching the principles of dynamic eating psychology and mind-body nutrition. You probably recognize Lisa Lampanelli’s name from the world of comedy, where she has had a career spanning more than 30 years. She has numerous tours, Grammy nominations, and national TV guest appearances and specials under her belt. Lisa made national headlines in 2012 when she lost more than 100 pounds with the help of bariatric surgery. The comedian went on to speak with unflinching honesty about her lifelong food and body-image issues and has since gone from insulter to inspirer. Now in her 50s, she’s done a career overhaul and works as a life coach, food and body-image workshop leader, speaker, and storyteller.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of The Doctors' Pharmacy.
0:03.3	We're emotional beings, right? This is something that it's natural and it really makes us
0:09.2	beautifully human. And of course, it becomes problematic when eating is our only
0:16.0	emotional regulation strategy. So many of my patients ask me how I manage to work multiple
0:22.2	jobs, travel frequently, spend time with my family, and still focus on my health. I know it can
0:27.7	seem hard to eat well when you have a lot going on, but the trick is to never let yourself
0:32.5	get into a food emergency and to stay stocked up with the right things to support your goals.
0:38.3	When I keep nourishing snacks and the right supplements optimize my health at home and at the
0:42.2	office, I know I'm helping myself make good choices in the future. And recently, I discovered
0:47.1	some products from Paleo Valley that I keep on hand to grab and go. They help me stay full and
0:52.8	energize the evil when I'm super busy. Their grass fed beef sticks and pastures turkey sticks are
0:58.3	some of my favorites as a quick go to snack. And I love mixing their grass fed bone broth protein
1:03.7	into my morning smoothies or coffee. Another one of Paleo Valley's unique products that I really
1:08.1	love is their grass fed organ complex. When our ancestors ate animals, they used all the parts.
1:14.4	And that included the extremely nutrient dense organs like the liver, heart, and kidneys. Now,
1:20.4	I know that not everybody's crazy about preparing organs in their own kitchen. So this supplement
1:25.9	is the perfect solution. The organ complex from Paleo Valley is an incredible natural source of
1:31.1	vitamins A, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12 and minerals like selenium iron zinc. It's also rich in
1:40.0	amino acids glycine and proling that benefit connective tissue joint and digestive health. And
1:45.4	you'll see on their site that it has some really amazing reviews plus is completely tasteless.
1:51.6	This supplement is the perfect way to eat nutritious grass fed organs without having to prepare
1:56.7	them yourself. Right now, Paleo Valley is offering my listeners 15% off your entire first order.
