Why You Can't Stop Eating When Life Gets Hard
You know what you're supposed to eat. So why does a hard day send you straight to the kitchen?
It's not weakness. It's not a lack of discipline. It's biology. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening in your brain and your body when stress hijacks your eating habits.
If you're managing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, this matters more than you think. Stress doesn't just affect your mood. It raises your blood sugar before you take a single bite. Then the foods you reach for to cope spike it again. That's two hits from one hard day.
In this episode, you'll learn why the stress-eat-regret cycle keeps repeating, what cortisol and dopamine have to do with your cravings, why people with type 2 diabetes are neurologically more vulnerable to these triggers, and five practical steps to interrupt the pattern starting today.
This is the follow-up to our last episode on chronic stress, and it's where the rubber meets the road.
You are not broken. You just need to understand what's running the show.
Let's get into it.
