Description

When you're facing a food urge, you have more control over the experience than you realize. It's not about willpower - it's about understanding what's actually happening and how your thoughts shape that moment.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What a food urge actually is when you strip away the drama
  • Why your lower brain thinks certain foods are incredibly important
  • How your higher brain can step in to help you make better decisions
  • The difference between making an urge feel overwhelming versus manageable
  • How changing your inner narrative changes your entire experience
  • Why this same principle applies to challenging moments beyond food

Most of us unconsciously make urges feel bigger and more urgent than they need to be. But when you understand what's really happening, you can approach them differently.

This episode gives you practical tools for handling any moment when you want to eat something but know it's not in your best interest.

Recipes mentioned in this episode:

Bahn Mi Burgers
