Emotional Eating - Tricia Nelson & Ashley James - #118

Today's episode tackles about emotional eating and the underlying cause of the disorder. http://learntruehealth.com/emotional-eating-tricia-nelson/

What is over eating? Tricia Nelson, an emotional eating expert, and our expert guest for today believes, “Emotional eating is not only about overeating. It has a lot to do with the food you’re drawn do as well.” She adds, ” People know what excess food is doing to them. Unfortunately, people don’t think about what it’s doing for them.”

The American Psychological Association reports that majority of American adults are overweight or obese. Hence, the risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease is increased.

Why do people emotionally eat?

Researchers revealed that there's a connection between stress and emotional eating. If not properly addressed, might lead to very serious health disorders.

The common causes of emotional eating are: anxiety, childhood obesity, depression and fatigue.

Tricia Nelson was also not exempted in experiencing emotional eating. In fact, he has been battling with the anxiety since she was young. But after years of experimentation with 12-step programs, therapy, and self-help books, Tricia finally hit a spiritual and emotional bottom. None of the diets seemed to work for her.

“I’ve been an emotional eater my entire life. Basically, I love food. Sugar, fat, and starch. Those were my food groups,” says Nelson. “I ended up going to therapy.”

By creating a positive lifestyle, Tricia was able to stop drinking and emotional eating. She has maintained a fifty-pound weight loss for close to 30 years now.

Tricia attended Amherst College and began her career working aSeattle Art Museum. While in Seattle she started working with a spiritual healer, Roy Nelson who would later become her husband. Roy helped her recognize and heal the root causes of her addictions.
