281: How to End Emotional Eating Now w/ Tricia Nelson
If You Want To End Emotional Eating Now, You Should:
- Slow down and manage your stress
- Put your scale and the power it holds away
- Seek out a solid community support system
Ever since I was a teenager, I have used food to deal with my stress and low energy in the forms of caffeine and sugar. It wasn’t until I found new, healthy habits to replace my emotional eating habits that I realize just how destructive this pattern was. Luckily I have broken up with sugar for good, all thanks to experts like my friend Tricia Nelson.
The Hidden Causes Behind Your Eating Habits with Tricia Nelson
Tricia Nelson lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating. She has spent over thirty years researching the hidden causes of an addictive personality and is regarded as an Emotional Eating Expert, #1 bestselling author, a highly regarded TEDx speaker, and a certified health coach. Tricia is passionate about helping others dig deep so they can get to the root cause of their emotional eating.
The Emotional Eating Spectrum
Tricia believes that we are all hardwired to have an emotional connection to food. But, not everybody has the ability to control our urges and course correct. The emotional eating spectrum comes down to the root causes of our relationship with food, so it is only by sitting with the emotions we associate with food that we can begin to heal.
By working on your limiting beliefs, people-pleasing, and self-care routine, you can deal with your feelings before your feelings deal with you in terms of health issues, autoimmune issues, and disease.
Getting to the Root Cause
Often emotional eaters are eating to be able to suppress their emotions. ‘Magic diets’ or ‘easy hacks’ backfire because they do not address the root emotional causes behind your food choices.
By dealing with the living problem, you can stop being afraid of the kitchen or out of control when around food because you have the tools necessary to deal with the emotional underpinning of why you are eating. Emotional eating is one of the hardest addictions to overcome, but with the right strategy, you can figure out the real feelings that are driving your snacking and heal your root causes for good.

283: The Real Truth About Hormone Imbalances in Women w/ Dr. Shawn Tassone
Hormone imbalances are best addressed through
- Testing
- Self-care
- Lowering toxicity
- Exercise
With so many falsehoods being shared on social media and doctor’s offices about women’s health, it’s hard to know what to believe. Many practitioners even say that there’s no such thing as hormonal imbalances. This really infuriates me, because our hormones are the most important communicators in our bodies. Today, I’ve invited my favorite integrative OBGYN and good friend to help to speak about the hormonal imbalances that he has seen and treated for decades.
About Dr. Shawn Tassone
Shawn Tassone MD, Ph.D. is double board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology and by the American Board of Integrative Medicine. He holds a medical degree in addition to a Ph.D. in mind-body medicine. Dr. Tassone is a practicing OBGYN in Austin, Tx, hormone specialist, author, speaker, and highly rated patient advocate. In his 20+ years of practice, Dr. Tassone has seen over 40,000 women and is determined to remove the myths surrounding women's health.
As an integrative health practitioner, Dr. Tassone believes you should have an active role in your care. His work includes studies and publications on hormonal imbalances, spirituality in medical care, whole foods to heal the human body, and integrative medicine. Dr. Tassone is featured in many publications including The New York Times, NBCNews Online, Stanford MedX.
Addressing Common Hormonal Imbalances
In this episode, Dr. Tassone describes how many women and practitioners are unaware of the most common hormone imbalance - testosterone deficiency. Part of this is because mainstream medicine lacks viable solutions to treat low testosterone in women.
To make up for this deficit in medicine, Dr. Tassone has some recommendations. First of all, he wants us to eat better and reduce exposure to toxins. Proper exercise is also an important factor. With all these different elements at play, it is becoming more and more apparent that getting the right advice and direction is crucial to maintaining a healthy hormonal balance.
The Common Effects of Imbalances and What They Signify
The fact of the matter is that hormonal imbalances will affect you on many levels. They can lead to insulin resistance, reproductive issues, energy and mood swings, a decrease in cellular energy and metabolic rate, and so much more. That’s why it’s incredibly irresponsible for practitioners to act like these imbalances don’t exist.
To this point, Dr. Tassone explains how we can make incremental shifts and changes in our health to prevent larger problems before they begin. Not only will taking an integrative approach to hormonal health help to prevent serious issues, they will also help you feel better in the interim.
