In this episode, I share the first part of the truth about why food means so much more to women than just nutrition . I talk about my own story of chocolate as comfort, why so many women “fail” diets (hint: it’s not about willpower), and how unresolved stress and trauma drive binge eating, snacking, and emotional eating. We’ll explore how your nervous system state shapes your cravings and why plans collapse after a few weeks - not because you’re weak, but because your body is fighting to keep you safe.
