Episode 22 Reframing Food Addiction: The power of narrative and language in our eating behaviours
What if the narrative you've been fed about food addiction is not only incorrect but detrimental to your health? Join me, as I unpack this contentious term and substitute it with a more useful one - habituation. This episode ventures into the heart of why we can't simply abstain from food, and what physical and emotional triggers lead to food habituation. Whether it's nutrient deficiencies, irregular sleep habits, bacterial imbalances or managing emotions, I discuss them all!
Switching gears, I delve into the impact of language on our eating habits. The words we use can influence how we perceive our relationship with food, and our body.
I discuss our stories and our language, emphasising that our behaviors do not define who we are. Let's learn how a simple shift in our vocabulary can reduce stress hormones and foster a healthier relationship with food. Drawing insights from my studies at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating with Marc David, this episode is set to change your outlook on food and help you understand that our behaviour offers useful information about imbalances in our life and health.
