Summary

In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, eating psychology expert Marc David works with 28-year old dietitian, Leah. A graduate of the Institute's Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, Leah loves her profession and has a special affinity for working with Highly-Sensitive people (HSP). An HSP herself, Leah has been eating more sugar than she feels is good for her, and looks to Marc for guidance on what's truly at the root of her habits with sugar.

Through the course of their conversation, Marc and Leah explore some fascinating connections between her sugar habit and her experiences as a Highly-Sensitive Person. Part of what they identify is a need to be aware of the effects of overstimulation (technology, noise, etc), and how sugar can be a strategy to feel more embodied … something we ideally do through healthier mind-body practices.

So many of us see our challenges with food as weaknesses or as a willpower problem. But as this episode demonstrates, there's usually a deeper reason for our unwanted eating habits - not all of them immediately apparent.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Psychology of Eating podcast, where food and body challenges are the doorway
0:08.2	into a happier, healthier life. Now, here's your host, Eating Psychology Expert, and
0:15.7	founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Mark David.
0:27.8	Welcome. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
0:32.9	Here we are in the Psychology of Eating podcast, and I'm with Leah today. Welcome, Leah.
0:39.3	Thanks for having me. Thanks for being on here. Thanks for being in a conversation. If you could wave your magic wand,
0:41.3	get whatever you wanted with food and body.
0:44.3	What would that be for you?
0:46.3	Yeah, I did a lot of thinking on this question just before jumping on here.
0:51.3	And I kind of wrote it out as a food goal and a body goal and tried to combine
0:57.4	them. So what I came up with was moving through a feeling of resistance with food and actually
1:05.7	nourishing my body, allowing myself to practice the practices that I've been learning in the program and just not be so
1:14.2	resistant to them. Okay. And what's your, what's, if you can sum up in a sentence, your sort of
1:23.6	personal goal for your eating, for your body. Give me some other words.
1:31.3	A big area with food is a strong habitual attachment to sugar, which I think is linked to just
1:38.7	my relationship with pleasure. So I think getting past that attachment to sugar would be one thing. And in the body,
1:47.0	just lately I've been getting some chiropractic work done with a functional neurologist. And
1:53.1	what he has shown me in the work is a feeling of not being present in my body or the brain is not mapping correctly to the
2:03.6	positioning of my body. So I think for me it's like feeling more grounded and in my body,
2:09.3	which I think really connects to the food things as well.
2:13.6	Got it, got it, got it. So how much does your relationship with sugar impact you, would you say?
2:22.7	In terms of my health?
