How To Break Patterns Of Emotional Eating

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. This
