Description

Have you ever found yourself starving by the end of the day, only to raid the kitchen and eat whatever’s fast, then feel frustrated that your day’s progress “went out the window”? You're not alone. In this episode, Summer breaks down the concept of primal hunger: what it is, why it’s not your fault, and how it might be quietly sabotaging your nutrition progress.


You’ll learn:


    What primal hunger is and how it shows up in daily life


    The biological reasons your body shifts into survival mode when you skip meals or under-eat


    Why willpower isn’t the solution (and never was)


    How honoring your hunger can help you stay more consistent with kidney-friendly nutrition


Simple tips for planning ahead, building balanced meals, and preventing that “I need food NOW” moment
