When Food is Comfort SHOW GUEST: Julie M. Simon Julie Simon shares with Allen that the better-than-good news is that the brain can be rewired for optimal emotional health. When Food Is Comfort presents a breakthrough, comprehensive, step-by-step, mindfulness practice I created called Inner Nurturing. Part 1 discusses how we develop self-regulation, or the ability to manage emotions, moods, thoughts, impulses, and behaviors. In Part 2 presents seven skills that makeup what she calls inner nurturing, along with information, tools, and special tips that readers can use to practice self-connection and self-nurturance. In Part 3, Simon offers strategies for attracting nurturing others into their lives, as well as four habits to cultivate in order to better nurture others. 4 In summary, Julie explains how you can move beyond your compulsive behavior and preoccupation with eating and weight, eliminate the idea of dieting from your life forever, and experience a fuller, more satisfying life.

On this episode of She Rises, host Giovanna Capozza interviews Julie M. Simon, a licensed psychotherapist and life coach with over 27 years of experience helping overeaters and author of When Food is Comfort and The Emotional Eaters Repair Manual. Julie tells the story behind how she arrived on the topic of overeating. Body shaming and exposure to perennial dieting kickstarted an unhealthy relationship with food. At an early age many children are taught that food is comfort and children are not attuned to their emotions. When our brain is forming, we need consistent and sufficient emotional nurturance. The logical and soothing part of the brain need to be properly wired to the emotional part. Caregivers need to be well tuned in to themselves and those they care for. Julie goes over the emotional eating checklist from her book. Julie talks about ways you can fix the damage done during childhood. The inner nurturer can step in and regulate and attune you. Your inner nurturing voice will provide hope. Overeaters resist the practice of having a nourishing voice and having dialogues with themselves. How to talk to yourself in an emotionally kind way and stop resisting nurture. Tweetable Quotes Over time I found all of the imbalances that underlie our relationship with food. There’s got to be some difference between people who get addicted to substances and people who don’t. Emotions point us in the direction of our needs. Resources Mentioned GiovannaCapozza.com www.overeatingrecovery.com  

Current brain science shows that a lack of consistent emotional nurturance in infancy and childhood, when the brain is being formed, can result in difficulties with self-regulation, causing us to seek comfort and nurturance outside ourselves, often in substances, like food, and behaviors such as overeating. The good news is that our history is not our destiny and the brain can be rewired. Join Christine and guest Julie M. Simon to learn how!

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Julie M. Simon (PART 2) author of When Food Is Comfort: Nurture Yourself Mindfully, Rewire Your Brain, and End Emotional Eating About the book: If you regularly eat when you’re not truly hungry, choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond fullness, something is out of balance. Recent advances in brain science have uncovered the crucial role that our early social and emotional environment plays in the development of imbalanced eating patterns. When we do not receive consistent and sufficient emotional nurturance during our early years, we are at greater risk of seeking it from external sources, such as food. Despite logical arguments, we have difficulty modifying our behavior because we are under the influence of an emotionally dominant part of the brain. The good news is that the brain can be rewired for optimal emotional health. When Food Is Comfort presents a breakthrough mindfulness practice called Inner Nurturing, a comprehensive, step-by-step program developed by an author who was herself an emotional eater. You’ll learn how to nurture yourself with the loving-kindness you crave and handle stressors more easily so that you can stop turning to food for comfort. Improved health and self-esteem, more energy, and weight loss will naturally follow. About the author: Julie M.

From Overeatingrecovery.com What would it be like if you were able to handle the many frustrations and challenges of your life without turning to food for comfort, soothing, distraction, pleasure and excitement? Have you ever wondered why some people can keep many of their favorite comfort foods in the house, eat one small portion at a time, and save the rest for later? Those same folks can go to a buffet or social gathering with an abundance of delectable foods and fill up one level plate, go back for a small amount of dessert, and that’s it. They’re done. They don’t go back for seconds and thirds. And they don’t keep thinking about food. If having too many favorite “trigger” foods around overwhelms you and leads to mindless or excessive snacking, overeating, or bingeing, then this book is for you. Can you imagine your life free of worries about your health or your weight? Can you picture yourself feeling good every day and liking what you see reflected back in the mirror? You were born with a phenomenal mind, body, and spirit that give you a multitude of signals everyday. Emotional signals like feelings of joy, happiness, love, and contentment, and cognitive signals like empowering, positive, pleasant thoughts, let you know that your inner world is calm and serene. Physical signals like hunger, thirst, cravings, and fullness guide you to take the best care of your body and stay in balance. And spiritual signals like inspiration, purpose, and passion inform you that you’re taking good care of your soul. This book will help you address the true causes of your overeating or imbalanced eating. If you regularly eat when you’re not hungry, choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond fullness, something is out of balance somewhere. Recent advances in brain science have uncovered the crucial role that our early social and emotional environment plays in the development of imbalanced eating patterns.

Despite our best intentions, many of us find ourselves routinely overeating at meals, snacking mindlessly, or bingeing regularly.

We’re tired of restrictive diets that lead back to overeating, and we’re ready to try something different.
