Ep 239: The 5 Hungers That Sabotage Weight Loss (and How to Master Them
Description
When you feel hungry… is it always about an empty stomach?
The truth is, hunger isn’t just one thing—it’s a chorus of signals. And most of them have nothing to do with actual physical need.
In my latest podcast episode, I’m breaking down the five types of hunger:
✅ Physical hunger
✅ Emotional hunger
✅ Environmental hunger
✅ Hedonic (pleasure-driven) and mindless habit hunger
✅ “Fake hunger” caused by blood sugar swings + leptin signaling
You’ll discover how your subconscious interprets hunger cues, why certain routines and environments automatically switch on cravings, and how you can shift awareness to get back in charge.
If lasting weight mastery is your goal, this episode gives you the leverage point: learning to recognize and manage the right hunger at the right moment.
Come on in!
