5S0A9339.jpg

When you feel out of control around food, you might jump to the conclusion that you are a food addict. Ingredients like MSG and sugar are said to be as addictive as drugs, lighting up the same pleasure centers in the brain as cocaine. So, therefore, they must be addictive… but, are they really?

If you think you have a food addiction, tune into this Intuitive Eating Session where I debunk the actual truth for you. 

Tune into episode #96:

In this solo episode, I will cover:

  • If food addiction actually exists

  • What causes a “food addiction” or out-of-control behaviour around food

  • How feelings of addiction to food actually come out of restriction—and why this is normal

  • What you might actually be addicted to if you think you’re addicted to food (hint: it might not be a bad thing!)

  • How to dig deeper into the behaviours you might have around certain foods

  • Ways to keep “food addiction” feelings at bay

  • Why hunger cues are so important

  • What one of my most recent “food addict” clients has to say about food addiction

  • Next steps for you along your intuitive eating journey
