REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this timely New Year's episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling unpack groundbreaking research published in Cell Host and Microbe revealing why holiday emotional eating isn't a character flaw but a metabolic brain loop driven by gut-produced molecules that hijack your stress response. They explain how the microbial metabolite imidazole propionate (IMP) crosses into the brain and fundamentally alters stress-coping circuitry, causing a "freeze" response that makes you reach for food when overwhelmed rather than exploring healthier options. The hosts connect this mechanism to the 88% of Americans living with metabolic dysfunction, demonstrating how insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, and blood sugar dysregulation create a vicious cycle where stressed brains default to emotional eating as a neurobiological coping strategy. They provide actionable solutions including establishing foundational fasting habits, using continuous glucose monitors for real-time feedback, removing ultra-processed foods that feed harmful gut bacteria, and implementing simple stress-management tools that rewire the gut-brain-metabolism connection. This episode offers scientific validation and practical strategies for starting 2026 with momentum rather than guilt-driven New Year's resolutions.

About Dr. Glenn Livington: Dr Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Doctor Glenn's work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Show Notes: If food feels like it has power over you — whether that means occasional overeating, persistent cravings, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "starting tomorrow" — this episode offers a radically different and compassionate approach. In this powerful conversation, Glenn Livingston, psychologist and author of Defeat Your Cravings, explains why willpower is not the solution to food struggles — and how lasting freedom comes from learning to quiet the brain's emergency response around food. Dr. Glenn shares how cravings are rooted in the nervous system, why deprivation backfires, and how nourishing your body properly allows the rational brain to regain control. Together, we explore the science behind cravings, binge urges, and emotional eating — including the concept of the cravings extinction curve, why cravings intensify before they disappear, and how self-care, sleep, and nutrition play a critical role in calming the brain. This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical tools for anyone who wants peace with food — without dieting, restriction, or shame. ✨ What You'll Learn · Why willpower fails — and what works instead · How cravings are driven by the fight-or-flight nervous system · The science of the cravings extinction curve · Why nourishing your body reduces binge urges · How sleep, stress, and decision fatigue impact cravings · How to stop "starting tomorrow" and work with the present moment · Why extreme diets make cravings worse, not better · How to regain calm, control, and choice around food

Send us a text!To get the transcript and live access register at https://launch.zivli.com/cravings-resetToday we talked about something really important—why cravings get stronger during stressful seasons and why trying harder, being more disciplined, or “getting back on track” usually doesn't fix it.This isn't a motivation problem.And it's definitely not a character flaw.Cravings are often driven by stress circuits in the emotional brain that are formed and fire automatically. Once those circuits are activated, logic, plans, and good intentions don't stand a fair chance.That's why:“Just say no” doesn't workWhite-knuckling through cravings usually backfiresFood feels harder to manage when you're stressedInside today's training, you'll learn:What's actually happening in your brain and body when cravings hitCommon stressors you may not recognize Why stress makes sugar and comfort foods feel irresistibleHow calming the nervous system is the first step toward feeling back in control againNo food rules.No tracking.No pressure to be perfect.Just understanding—and a new perspective.

This holiday week might have been really hard. Surrounded by family, arguments, familial patterns, working on staying connected, trying to enact different patterns with food, and feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated. And for others, this week may have included huge wins. You noticed yourself regulating your nervous system, staying connected, choosing other options besides food to connect with yourself, and you got to witness just how far you've come in your food recovery. But today, three days after the actual holiday, it may feel like food is even more of a struggle than it was a few days ago. The experience of joy, connection, stress, exhaustion, social pressure, and emotional intensity of the day may be over, but the food is still here.Maybe you had a plan leading up to the holiday. You had your friends on stand by via text, you had your somatic practices you've learned here or in a session, you showed up for yourself, you tried to stay connected, and so now you may feel utterly confused that you got through the holiday just fine, but want to binge on every holiday leftover food you can find. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Why leftovers can feel like a threatWhat has changed in your nervous system the day after a holidayMaking sense of your urge to binge leftovers How to somatically process the leftover food binge You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/when-holiday-leftovers-feel-like-a-threatI'll be putting out a special New Years' episode next week so if there is anything you'd like me to add to this episode on how to somatically enter the new year without diet promises and exercise rules, respond to this email with any questions you have!

Losing weight is probably one of the most common reasons we hear that people want to end their binge eating. It's the physical symbol of success and is most apparent to the world. Reasons for wanting to change their current state may also include bothersome achy knees, elevated blood pressure, or distress about not being a healthy role model. But the big thing that hurts them on a daily basis is the size, shape, or weight of their body. If you want to stop binge eating mostly because you want to lose weight, that's a perfectly fine reason. The goal for today's episode is to help alleviate the frustration that can grow when you're doing the right things to stop binge eating, but your weight hasn't budged. Because if we don't address that frustration, it leads people to lose focus on binge eating recovery and start focusing instead on moving the scale. We will discuss how the order of the stages of recovery matter, why weight loss before conquering binge eating doesn't work, and learn about the steps toward achieving both goals. We want to equip you with strategies to navigate your own journey to complete food freedom, including deliberate weight loss behaviors and maintaining long-term success.

What if your "willpower problem" with food was never about food at all? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amber Romaniuk, an emotional eating, digestive, and hormone expert with 12+ years of experience. Amber shares the childhood roots of emotional eating, the intense turning point that forced her to face her own binge-restriction patterns, and the multidimensional healing path that led to true body freedom. This episode explores why feeling emotions can feel unsafe and how to create real nervous system safety. What You Will Learn: A clear understanding of how childhood moments can become identity wounds that drive emotional eating for decades. Language for naming the difference between discomfort and being unsafe, so emotions stop feeling like an emergency. A simple way to work with the brain's threat response without letting it run your life. A practical starting point for emotion work: set a timer for 30 seconds and build capacity gradually. Why food becomes a regulator when life feels helpless, out of control, or emotionally unsupported. Insight into how the binge–restriction cycle can intensify after weight loss, breakups, and "perfect body" beliefs. A realistic picture of what root-cause healing actually involves: mental, emotional, behavioral, energetic, spiritual, and physical layers. Tools that help create safety while feeling emotions, including breathwork, EFT tapping, self-holding, music, and affirmations. Why chronic stress and fight-or-flight make it harder to heal digestion, blood sugar, and hormones. A grounded approach to "breaking the lineage" by combining inner healing with loving boundaries when family dynamics push back. Why progress requires structures that support "doing the reps," not just inspiration or insight. How long-term support helps women stay consistent when real life hits. Why new success can trigger fear and how identity work helps you maintain change without self-sabotage. Connect with Amber Romaniuk Amber Approved Connect with Anjel B.

In today's episode of Crying In My Cheesecake, I sit down with Darlene, a woman who has walked through deep trauma, generational health battles, emotional eating, and years of feeling like her body was destined to fail her—yet God has been faithful in every part of her story.We talk about what happens when food turns from nourishment into comfort, survival, or numbing. We dig into the reality of trauma, nervous system overload, dopamine depletion, emotional survival mechanisms, and why willpower alone is never the answer. When your body has lived through abandonment, grief, loss, or chaos… your brain and nervous system carry those scars. And food often becomes the “safe place.”If you've ever used food to cope…If you've ever looked at your family history and wondered, “Is this where I'm headed too?”If you've ever felt broken, weak, or ashamed because you “can't control yourself”…You need to hear this conversation.Healing isn't about shaming yourself into restriction. It's about truth, nervous system repair, faith, community, and being brave enough to face what's really going on beneath the surface.EPISODE LINKS, SERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:Ocean to Ocean - Darlene Fleary's SubstackBlood Sugar ExplorersDr. Danielle's SubstackCoffee Cafe Registration$7 Mentorship: How to Fix Your Energy, Cravings, and Mood in Just One Day

Feeling intense shame afterward. Vowing to never do it again. Only to keep returning to food and repeating the cycle over and over.We're great at blaming ourselves, but have you ever considered that your eating habits might be linked to deeper issues? And that your perceived lack of control is actually a survival mechanism?Today Diane Petrella, MSW, clinical social worker, and author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors, and I discuss the link between childhood trauma and emotional eating.Highlights Timings:03:01 - The Link Between Trauma and Emotional Eating10:01 - Early Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects15:01 - Coping Mechanisms and Food as Comfort20:01- Strategies to Manage Emotional EatingImportant Links:Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookGet It HEREWebsite: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessGuest BioDiane Petrella, MSW, is a clinical social worker, certified life coach, and holistic licensed psychotherapist, specializing in the effects of childhood trauma, emotional eating, and body confidence.

For so many of us, nighttime feels like stepping into a different version of ourselves. One that feels "fine" all day, but starts to unravel the moment the sun goes down. One who can't stop thinking about snacks, who wanders into the kitchen on autopilot, who feels out of control around food in ways that never show up at noon. It can feel confusing, frustrating, even shameful. Listen to the full episode for the full unpacking and for the practical steps that can help you finally feel at peace when the night comes.

Send us a textHoliday Eating Without Guilt: A New Way to Navigate the HolidaysThe holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they come with food guilt, stress, and the pressure to “be good” around food.In this episode, I'm breaking down why holiday eating feels so hard, and why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and explain why trying to control food more actually leads to less control.We talk about how holiday stress impacts your physiology, your appetite, and your food choices, and why mindful eating isn't about willpower, it's about creating safety, presence, and freedom around food.This episode is a call to shift from restriction to nourishment, from fear to trust, and from guilt to an abundance mindset so you can enjoy holiday food, feel good in your body, and stay connected to what actually matters.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through holiday eating, this episode will change how you approach food —not just during the holidays, but for good.Why wait until January 1 to feel better?

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) are traumatic events that occur in childhood and affect your sense of safety. ACEs have been found to be higher in prevalence among those who struggle with food and body image. As the experience of safety diminishes, the likelihood of binge eating increases.This is why you can't shame yourself for your food behaviors. They are not your fault. You've been made to believe that your food choices are your decision and that if you can't “control” yourself with food, then that is your fault. Yet, this couldn't be further from the truth. Your food and body image behaviors are a response to how your body is digesting your life experiences, not something you're actively choosing or out of a lack of willpower, or self sabotage. In this week's episode, I chat with Rachel Hobbs, Clinical Dietitian, Personal Trainer and Certified Therapist about: A compassion centered focused approach to nutritionHow early childhood experiences affect your food interactionsThe role of shame in food behaviorsHow the nervous system and past trauma shapes food behaviorsSeeing nutrition through a more nuanced perspectiveYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-impact-of-food-trauma-on-your-eating-behaviorsI hope that this episode reminds you to meet yourself with compassion these next couple of weeks as you navigate friends, food, and family this holiday season.

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Amber Romaniuk, emotional eating and binge eating expert, to unpack the real reasons women struggle with food, weight, hormones, digestion, and self-worth. This episode goes far beyond surface-level food advice. Together, Rachel and Amber explore how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, inner-child wounds, hormones, and gut health all intersect with binge and emotional eating—and what true healing actually looks like. If you've ever felt out of control around food, stuck in shame, or frustrated that "doing all the right things" still isn't working, this episode will make you feel seen—and supported. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. How Binge & Emotional Eating Actually Begin Amber shares her personal story—from early body shame and dieting to bingeing, purging, and hitting rock bottom—and how denial kept the cycle alive until she was forced to face the truth. You'll hear why binge eating is not about willpower, discipline, or food choices. 2. Why Food Becomes a Coping Mechanism Food often becomes a way to: Numb emotional pain Soothe stress Feel comfort and safety Escape uncomfortable emotions Amber explains how dopamine, restriction, perfectionism, and societal conditioning all reinforce binge cycles—even with "healthy" foods. 3. The Nervous System Connection Chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, making it nearly impossible to digest food properly, regulate appetite, or process emotions. You'll learn why: Discomfort feels threatening to the nervous system Familiar patterns (even painful ones) feel "safe" Healing requires patience, rewiring, and self-compassion 4. Trauma, Inner Child Wounds & Food Amber breaks down how both big and small traumas—bullying, dieting as a child, parental criticism, abuse, breakups, or feeling unsafe—can deeply impact body image and eating behaviors. This episode highlights why inner-child work is a critical part of healing emotional eating. 5. How Binge Eating Impacts Digestion & Gut Health You'll learn how binge eating and chronic stress can lead to: Poor digestion and nutrient absorption Low stomach acid Gut inflammation and leaky gut Brain fog, fatigue, bloating, and cravings Mood imbalances tied to inflammation 6. Hormones, Weight & Emotional Eating Amber explains how emotional eating affects: Cortisol (stress hormone) Thyroid function Progesterone & estrogen balance Sleep, mood, fertility, and weight regulation You'll hear why low progesterone can drive cravings, insomnia, anxiety, PMDD, and emotional disconnection—and why hormone testing is non-negotiable in healing. 7. The First Steps Toward Healing Amber outlines practical, compassionate steps you can begin now: Seeking safe, nonjudgmental support Admitting there's a problem without shame Identifying emotional vs. physical hunger Understanding your binge triggers Eating regularly and mindfully Supporting basic needs (sleep, hydration, protein) Learning new ways to cope with stress

She was exhausted, discouraged, and convinced her body was working against her.We explore how stress was silently driving her symptoms, why generic advice kept her stuck, and the real consequences of not understanding insulin, protein, sleep, and simple testing. Janet shares the turning point that helped her cut her medications from nine to two, drop her insulin needs, reduce pain, and reach her lowest weight in decades—while gaining strength, confidence, and hope for her future.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your health, afraid of regaining weight, or unsure what your body needs to change for good, this conversation will give you clarity and encouragement.

The number one question I often get asked in sessions is, "What is the somatic practice I should be doing to calm myself down?"Somatic and nervous system work has been completely misconstrued and misrepresented, and I get why. If all you're seeing on social media is a list of suggestions on practices you can do to make things better or calm yourself down, it can feel like there is some magical tool you can utilize to hack your body. Then all the discomfort would go away, which would perhaps decrease how much you're leaning on food.But, what if you had the utmost confidence that you could be with and flow through any emotion, sensation, feeling, or state? Do you imagine you would have the same reactions you have now with food? What if your urges, impulses, and patterns with food had nothing to do with decreasing the food behavior, but rather increasing your capacity to embody?In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: What is underlying food behaviors How to navigate the root cause without any fancy somatic practices What healing can actually look like You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-your-food-behaviors-are-not-the-problemIf there is any topic you'd like me to specifically cover on the podcast, email me at support@stephaniemara.com anytime!

In this real, wide-ranging conversation, Christina and Brittany dive into the everyday topics that quietly shape our lives — health, hormones, money, mindset, and the pressure to “get it right,” especially during busy seasons.They kick things off with honest health updates, from sinus infections to wearable health tech, and share candid thoughts on tracking data versus trusting your body. From there, the conversation shifts into the stress of gift-giving, why it often feels so overwhelming, and why experiences almost always mean more than material things.The episode also touches on investing — stripping away the fear, complexity, and noise to focus on consistency, patience, and mindset — and how lessons from market shifts (like COVID) mirror the way we navigate life.Finally, Christina and Brittany open up about anxiety, especially as it relates to hormonal changes, food cravings, and the comfort found in nostalgia (yes, including the healing power of a grilled cheese).This episode is equal parts grounded, comforting, and perspective-shifting — a reminder that simplicity, trust, and presence often matter more than perfection.About Brittany and Christina:Meet Brittany and Christina, your dynamic podcast hosts who bring their unique blend of expertise, passion, and life experience to every conversation.Brittany, affectionately known as Britt, mom, mommy, bruh, and Queen, lives in Vancouver with her husband and their three fantastic kids (tweens and teens, hence the playful nicknames).

More importantly, they break down the four types of progress that really matter: outcome, behavior, internal, and environmental.They also share real stories from clients, funny moments, and personal experiences to help you stop obsessing over the scale.

In this episode, I talk with author and emotional-eating expert Tricia Nelson about why we turn to food for comfort, what emotional eating actually is (it's not about willpower), and how to build a life that makes late-night kitchen raids less inevitable. We get into compulsions, body image, aging, intimacy, the “tiger out of the cage” metaphor, and why healing has way more to do with buried feelings and stress patterns than with food itself. It's an honest, tender conversation about breaking cycles, lowering pressure, and learning to feel instead of numb.Show Notes:Emotional Eating Free QuizBook: Heal Your Hunger: 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating NowInstagram: @tricianelson_Website: healyourhunger.comPodcast: Heal Your Hunger Show on Apple PodcastsFind Katie:Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout | Zine shop is here!My Creative Clinic.

In this episode, let's talk about what emotional eating is, where it comes from and most importantly, what to do about it. You'll learn the 4-step system I use with clients to interrupt the emotional eating cycle, including how to map your triggers, distinguish physical hunger from emotional urgency, and build a toolkit of alternatives that actually work for you. It's not about restriction or willpower - it's about giving yourself more options so food stops being your only coping mechanism. In This Episode: Why emotional eating isn't a willpower problem The 4 step process to help you address emotional eating How to make conscious decisions about food - even on days when you choose to eat the cake anyway FOLLOW host: @loristreator my therapy practice: @solairetherapy If this episode hit home, do two things: Share it with one friend who needs to hear this Leave a 5-star review and tell me your biggest aha moment from today Your support helps more women find their way here.
The holidays arrive with the best intentions. You have a vision—homemade gifts, a beautifully decorated home, healthy eating habits maintained through January. Then your husband loses his job. You're told you need a new hip. The test results come back concerning. And suddenly it's 10 PM and you're eating ice cream straight from the container, wondering why you can't just stick to the plan like everyone else seems to. This week, I'm breaking down why the holidays create the perfect storm for emotional eating, overspending, and complete overwhelm. But here's the twist: generic "holiday stress hacks" won't solve your problem because you don't know YOUR unique trigger pattern. Most women are following someone else's playbook instead of understanding what actually sends them into the kitchen at 3 PM or keeps them scrolling Pinterest until midnight. Tune in as I walk you through identifying your personal coping strategies when life throws curveballs (because it will), introduce the game-changing concept of "bare minimum Christmas," and share how one of my clients catered an entire guild party—two days of cooking and serving—without stressing once. You'll discover why the highs and lows of your holiday experience reveal everything about your emotional regulation, and learn the exact framework for building resiliency so December doesn't derail you every single year.

You'll get all the modules, office hours to ask questions, and lifetime access for two years. Real tools, real help, real transformation—one Christmas cookie at a time.
