24 | Why Unhealthy Foods Taste So Good - And How to Break Free (Part 1)
If you’ve ever wondered why unhealthy foods taste so good - or why it feels so hard to choose a nourishing salad over a bag of chips - you’re not alone.   In this episode of The Health Habit Podcast, we unpack the science behind hyperpalatable foods and how they hijack your biology, cravings, and mood.   These processed foods are designed to override your hunger cues, shift your taste preferences, and keep you stuck in a cycle of emotional eating - all while making it harder to stay consistent with your healthy lifestyle goals.   As a holistic nutritionist, I’m breaking down why this isn’t about willpower - it’s about brain chemistry, taste bud desensitization, and emotional regulation.   You’ll learn how these foods disrupt the mindful body connection, contribute to poor mental health, and spike your blood sugar in ways that derail even the most well-intentioned meal plan.   But there’s good news: I’ll also share actionable tips to help you transition from processed foods to a whole-food diet, boost satisfaction with nutrient-dense meals, and build a more intuitive and empowered relationship with food.   If you’re looking for sustainable ways to improve your health and wellness through holistic nutrition, this episode is your guide to reclaiming balance - one bite at a time.   Ready to learn more about healthy eating and holistic wellness?
