Better Everyday Podcast | Emotional Eating with Tricia Nelson

Better Everyday #49 Emotional Eating with Tricia Nelson

We’ve covered what to eat for pretty much every hormone in your body thus far on this podcast but today we take a deep dive into food from a totally different angle. We eat food for a thousand different reasons beyond energy or even convenience and whether you’re experiencing full on binges or just find yourself comforting or rewarding with food often this episode is for you! Tricia shares her own story with emotional eating and her history of being overweight and how no amount of dieting or exercising fixed it because that wasn’t her root cause. She got to the bottom of why she overate and healed her deep down stuff and thus healed her relationship with food.

Tricia shares what she’s found in 30 years of doing this work to be the causes of emotional eating and why we turn to food: pain killer, escaping fear and punishment. Fascinating, especially that last one as so often we think of food as a treat or a reward. Great tools in this show that will help us all have a healthier relationship with food. Learn more about Tricia here.

We are planning MORE Q&A episodes in the coming months so send us yours at [email protected]! Follow us on Facebook together or keep up with Dr Brooke here and Sarah here.

1 month ago by sarah_fragoso Every single day on this vacation has been PLAY and I’m so grateful for my health and at 41 I feel stronger and better then I did at 21 and the best part - I care so much less, or to be honest, I simply love myself more than I used to which has created more self compassion in general... Now I choose more often to focus on being present and joyful vs. focusing on what I thought were my flaws - like my big booty or my stretch marks or my wrinkles. I want to be right here in

3 weeks ago by sarah_fragoso I randomly found my mom’s old day planner and this was tucked in it and let me tell you, I felt all the feels when I read it. This was her REAL SELF CARE and even when she was sick, she was so incredibly strong and ALIVE!! My heart knows she would have been our biggest fan and would have loved and supported the work @betterbydrbrooke and I are doing today. No matter what we might be facing we can still choose to show up - and ps, the last sentence is the best in my opinion and it’s hard
3 weeks ago by sarah_fragoso Sometimes we all need a gentle push in the right direction. We need real conversations, and we need to hear what’s true, and not sold the latest fad!! Diet and fitness fads never take into account each of our unique hormone issues and how each of us respond differently dependent on those issues, and rarely do they take into account our mindset and how important being at peace with where we are right now matters so much more than the macros on our plate or kilos on the barbell. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In short, we get pushed from all angles all the
2 weeks ago by sarah_fragoso Have I told you how much I love this lady? She’s just the best. We kinda help hold each other together and together we really are better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It took me a long time to come around to understanding just how much I need other women in my life. I’ve always struggled with digging into friendships and I’ve never had a huge social circle but the value and importance of having women friends who really see me and value me and help me be authentically who I am, well you just can’t put a price on it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @betterbydrbrooke and
2 weeks ago by sarah_fragoso Every woman is more than what the eye can see. We are more than a number on a scale. We are more than a diet plan, or a fitness routine, or the clothes that we wear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every woman is more. We are more heart and more soul. We are more love. We are more depth and breath. We are more compassion and acceptance and unity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are filled up with grief from old wounds and we are equally filled up with strength from our healing. We are all exactly as we should be in every single way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6 days ago by sarah_fragoso What do you do that brings you JOY - that thing that makes your soul ache because you are in alignment with being your authentic self. Tough question for so many of us but consider this - maybe, just maybe, this is a hell of a lot more important than your macros or your exercise plan - because when you aren't doing SOMETHING even if it's small, to really take care of yourself, to do something that brings you nothing but just pure JOY - how the heck can we even get it close to right with our diet or

5 hours ago by sarah_fragoso This was our view driving home from gymnastics last night. The sun setting behind the abating smoke from the #carrfire and other surrounding fires. One of the most striking, glorious, awe inspiring sunsets I have ever seen. There is ALWAYS something you wouldn’t have seen, learned, felt, experienced, loved, cherished, or realized once you’ve made it through. Hold tight everyone, it’s gonna be ok. No matter what you’re going through, just know you’ll be on the other side soon, and it will be beautiful again. I promise.
