#017: Work with your body to reduce hunger & cravings

Update: 2023-08-28

Description

“I just need more willpower to stop eating.” Well … actually, willpower doesn’t work and, in this episode, we discuss one of the reasons why.

Hormones—aka chemical messengers—operate outside conscious control and drive the balance within our bodies. One in particular (insulin), impacts hunger, food-cravings and whether or not the body uses or stores fat.

Listen in to learn:

- why insulin matters to those of us who struggle with binge eating or feeling out of control around food, and

- some easy tricks to help balance insulin (and NO, IT DOESN’T MEAN HAVING TO GIVE UP ALL SUGAR AND CARBS!)
