Have you ever felt guilty after giving in to a craving for chocolate, chips, or soda? What if cravings aren’t the enemy but signals from your body telling you what it truly needs?

In this episode, we explore:

• The science and psychology behind cravings
• Why cravings aren’t just about willpower
• The nutritional, hormonal, and emotional reasons behind common cravings
• How to listen with curiosity instead of shame
• Practical steps to decode your cravings and nourish your body wisely

💡 Key takeaway: Cravings are your body’s way of communicating. When you listen with compassion, you build a healthier and more peaceful relationship with food.
