A 30-Year Old Former Gymnast Reclaims Her Power Around Food & Body
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating, Marc David speaks to Chanel, a former gymnast whose self-criticism is driving her to binge and purge. After taking Marc’s Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, she now recognizes what’s driving her nearly two-decades-long eating challenge. Most importantly, Chanel realizes that binging and purging are unconscious strategies she’s used in an attempt to deal with emotions she hasn’t known how to cope with. As Marc helps her recognize, part of Chanel’s current journey is learning to embrace where she is right now without judgment that she should be further along. It’s a reminder we can all use, regardless of the challenges we’re facing.
 
Key Insights:
  • Contrary to what many believe, binge eating is not a problem. It doesn’t need fixing. It’s simply a strategy to deal with another issue we don’t know how to address.
  • An important thing to understand about the binge-purge cycle: binge eating creates physiologic and psychological stress, which purging then relieves. 
  • Repressing negative emotions like anger or sadness can lead us to engage in any number of unwanted eating challenges, including binging and purging. Find healthy ways to honor your emotions, such as listening to music that has special meaning for you, or regularly journaling your thoughts and feelings.
  • Learning to bring conscious awareness in the moment when we’re about to binge eat is absolutely key to transforming this unwanted behavior. What are we thinking about? What emotions are we feeling? What do we feel in the body? Tune into this.
  • Show yourself generosity for the progress you make and celebrate your success. Acknowledge that you’ll have setbacks, and bring the self-forgiveness forward that you so deeply deserve.

In Session With Marc David: A Naturalist Grandmother Learns to Become Her Own Health Advocate

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
A Naturalist Grandmother Learns to Become Her Own Health Advocate
 
Listen to eating psychology expert Marc David as he speaks with Holly, a 52-year old grandmother seeking to lose weight so she can be more active with her family and enjoy being active outdoors. Holly has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is dealing with sleep issues, low mood, and a lack of energy. Marc helps Holly zero in on some key diagnostics to pursue … and also helps her see better understand the places she gets stuck making good decisions for her health. Tune in now!
 
Key Insights:
  • Hypothyroidism can lead to a cascade of challenging symptoms, including weight gain, insomnia, low energy, and mood issues.
  • Another physiological cause (among many) for unwanted weight gain is undiagnosed diabetes. Undergoing diagnostic testing is important when looking at physiological causes of weight gain.
  • Naturopaths or functional medicine practitioners can be a great resource when looking at possible causes of weight issues.
  • Learning to become one’s own health advocate is of prime importance when dealing with any health issue — whether related to weight or other challenges.
  • Sometimes, our dearest loved ones don’t always know how to best support us in our health and weight challenges. It doesn’t mean they don’t care, however finding the support you need is vital … whether from a friend or a trained professional.

Healing Family Lineage: A 37-Year Old Man’s Journey with Anger, Weight, & Reparenting

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc David speaks to 37-year-old Eric who opens up about weight loss challenges, his relationship with his father, being a stay-at-home dad, and much more. The episode offers unique insight into the emotional healing that has to come on the path to resolving food and weight challenges. Through the enlightening conversation, Eric learns to give himself the kindness, presence, and gentleness that he missed receiving from his father. Watch now!
 
Key Insights:
  • Your relationship with your same-sex parent can have a huge bearing on your relationship with self, and consequently your relationship with food. Learning to reparent yourself is a vital first step towards resolving food and body issues.
  • Bring presence to eating and learning to inhabit your body are important keys to losing weight sustainably. 
  • Learn to be comfortable in your body. Love it, accept it, and to give it a hug – literally and figuratively. It is OK to ask for and get the help and support you need, however you need it.
  • Inhabiting your body can come through doing physical activities you love … whether through resistance training, dancing, hiking, or any other kind of movement. 
  • Anger is a powerful emotion that many of us don’t know how to work with constructively. Honor it, listen to it, learn from it. It’s often pointing us to a place inside ourselves that we need to care for and attend to.

Taking Responsibility for Our Relationship with Food

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast with Marc David, we meet Agnes who struggles with avoiding sugar and gluten. Food psychology expert Marc David traces Agnes's challenges with food back to her 14-year-old self when bullying in school made her feel the need to lose weight. Agnes now has an uneasy relationship with food and tries to avoid bingeing. Marc identifies her need to be in control as a possible issue, and reveals how she can enjoy and have fun with healthy eating. Listen now!
 
Key Insights
 
check mark button Many of the challenges people have around food start early, such as during one's teens. Peer pressure or bullying in school can create an unhealthy body image and an adversarial relationship around food. This can be healed even later in life.
 
check mark button Wanting to control what one eats and all other aspects of life is a natural instinct and that control feels good. However, there is a difference between control and taking responsibility, and it is taking responsibility that will help resolve challenges around eating.
 
check mark button Food is a reflection of life. Wanting to be in control of everything one eats then spills over into the need to be in control of every other aspect of life as well. It can be tough to let go, but learning to do this can be freeing.
 
check mark button Remember to savor the process of eating -- to eat the things that give pleasure, taste good and bring satiety to the body. Learn not to rush through the meal either out of habit or because that is what we are taught to do.
 
check mark button Eating can be fun. Wanting that bar of chocolate could actually be the voice of wisdom from inside the body, but we deny ourselves the fun of eating because we fear losing control. Scheduling pre-planned fun treats of those ‘forbidden’ foods could be a solution.

Discovering the Rhythm of Life: One Woman’s Journey

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/

Have you lived most of your life and felt not quite happy in your body? Well, then this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast is for you. Eating psychology expert Marc David speaks to 52-year-old Tanya about her challenges around eating and body image. Marc helps Tanya move away from perfectionism, forgive herself, and learn to embrace her Queenhood.
 
Key Insights
  • Tanya, 52, has been concerned with her appearance since age 10 or 12, and still has a challenging relationship with food and her body. She has undergone therapy in the past and now speaks to Marc David of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
  • Messages from the media trains people – especially women – to think that they are only acceptable if they are a certain age and size, and if they look a certain way. This causes women to question whether they are lovable in and of themselves.
  • A younger woman's mind can get caught up in the perfectionism and the need to be a certain way, which can be elusive, unrealistic and undesirable. It is important to step out of this need for perfectionism and stop judging one’s eating, body, weight etc.
  • Stepping into one’s Queenhood means becoming more involved with one's community and making a difference. At this time in her life, a woman comes into her own, and stops relying on others for her self-worth.
  • A good Queen has compassion and forgives not only others around, but also herself. She is forgiving of her own imperfections, and if one day didn’t go as planned, or if she wasn’t on her best behavior, that’s OK.

Unresolved Grief and Weight Gain - Is There a Connection?

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Primary teacher at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David speaks with 45-year old Tracy, originally from New Zealand and newly living in Australia. Tracy seeks to lose about 15 kilos, while finding equanimity in her relationship with food and body. Quarantined in her apartment during Covid, Tracy feels alone and isolated, and reflects on a series of losses that have defined her life including the loss of her father when she was just four years old. As Marc helps her recognize, Tracy has never really integrated the losses she’s endured … something that is true for so many of us. When emotions aren’t metabolized, whether grief, anger, or other emotions, they can show up in other ways — often as symptoms in the body. Listen in as Tracy discovers a new path not just for losing weight, but finding a beautiful and healing path through the grief that so deeply colors her life. 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Of the numerous psychological contributors to weight gain or weight loss resistance, grief is often one of the overlooked causal factors. Unacknowledged or unresolved grief can be a key factory underlying our eating challenges.
 
check mark button Losing a parent early in life can mean so much more than just the loss of that parent. Children who have lost a parent early in life often find their other parent struggling to cope with their grief, resulting in the child having to do a lot of self-parenting. This is yet another form of loss — that of an innocent childhood, and can ultimately lead to unresolved grief as an adult.
 
check mark button Sometimes the grieving we need to do in life is that of letting go of who we used to be. Whether it’s a role we used to inhabit, a certain time of life, or having a certain athleticism or healthy body, it can be hard to move on from aspects of ourselves that we took a lot of pleasure or pride in.
 
check mark button Speaking to a therapist or a counselor, particularly a grief counselor, can be a vital first step towards resolving one's past and moving on.
 
check mark button Journaling is another effective way to acknowledge and give expression to grief. Figuratively writing a letter to a deceased parent is another. Writing, in whatever form, can be a powerful way to express, transform, and release emotions that are calling out for our attention.

A 34-Year-Old Learns To Find Firm Ground in Life – And Her Body

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In this episode of the Psychology of Eating Podcast, eating psychology expert Marc David speaks to 34-year-old Tricia about her difficulty shedding stubborn pounds. Tricia opens up to Marc about her history of sexual abuse, and Marc unearths the connection between her trauma and her challenge with weight loss. Listen in to this powerful and inspiring episode as Tricia learns how to trust herself and her body again, and works towards a personal breakthrough. 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Suffering sexual assault can make a person feel insecure and fearful, and may have a significant bearing on a person’s ability or inability to lose weight. Finding firm ground in life has the happy consequence of finding firm ground within the body.
 
check mark button There are many ways to practice feeling safe. Gather evidence of being and feeling safe and catalog these in some way so that it is possible to let go of the fear and the insecurity.
 
check mark button Sometimes challenges around weight have less to do with the physical weight and more to do with conflicting emotions. Coming to terms with those emotions can be the important first step for a person looking to lose weight.
 
check mark button The body will lose weight when it is ready. Take care of yourself and heal so that the body feels confident in relinquishing the weight that it has been holding on to for so long.
 
check mark button We are conditioned to believe that weight loss is just about creating a caloric deficit -- about eating less and exercising more. However, there’s more to the story of weight and its loss than a simple “calories in, calories out” approach, including our eating psychology and our unique physiology, which is always in an intimate dance with things like stress, connection with others, spirituality, and so much more.

When Love is Conditional: A 29-Year Old’s Journey with Weight, Her Father, and Life

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, eating psychology expert Marc David speaks to 29-year-old Hanin about her fear of gaining weight. In her home country of Lebanon, Hanin has dealt with frequent judgment and criticism around her weight and body since she was a young teenager. As in other countries, this kind of conditioned criticism around weight is at the root of so much suffering around body image. For Hanin, resolving her fear around weight gain means getting to the core of her guilt and shame — which is deeply interconnected to the collective shame so many of us have around our bodies. Tune in as Marc explores Hanin’s journey, and helps her find key insights to not only overcome the fear of weight gain … but to begin to more fully accept herself.

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In this week’s episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast with Marc David, we meet 25-year old Caitlin, a former safari camp manager hailing from Harare, Zimbabwe. Caitlin has been binge eating since she was 13, often on bread and sweets. She reports that she can go for months at a time without binge eating, and then suddenly find herself back in her old pattern. Confused about what’s going on for her, Caitlin turns to Marc for insight into why she binge eats and how she can put an end to this undesired eating habit. Tune in as Marc helps her not only find clarity but provides a powerful reframe on how she can use her eating challenge as an opportunity to grow and transform.

A Young Woman Deals with Gluten Sensitivity

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Briana is a busy graduate student who lives with gluten sensitivity. While Briana doesn’t have celiac disease, she has all the markers of gluten sensitivity: bloating and stomach pain, fatigue, and mood fluctuations. She’s taken breaks from gluten before with amazing benefits but is struggling to let go of her love of gluten-based foods. Listen in as Marc David, Founder and Primary Teacher at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating works with Briana on practical strategies for managing her gluten sensitivity, while also helping her understand the important connections between stress and food sensitivities.
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Gluten-based foods are everywhere and they can be hard to give up. The first step in dealing with gluten sensitivities is recognizing you have them. This means tuning into your body as you’re eating a given food and noticing how you feel afterward. 
 
check mark button If you suspect you have a sensitivity to gluten, getting tested with your doctor or functional medicine practitioner is an important next step.
 
check mark button Symptoms of gluten sensitivity can include bloating, stomach pain, skin issues like breakouts, mood changes, lethargy, forgetfulness, and difficulty focusing. 
 
check mark button When we binge on food that makes us feel bad, a common response is to beat ourselves up. It’s important to acknowledge that giving up foods we enjoy is tough, and giving ourselves a hard time is counterproductive to changing our eating habits.
 
check mark button Finding support from others is also important as we retool our diet. Sometimes the people we love the most have a hard time supporting us as we make changes. While that doesn’t feel great, that doesn’t mean that others can’t be there for us. Look for those people and find the support you need and deserve.

Coming Into Our Queenly Power Around Body Image

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc speaks with Gabriela, a Mexico City resident and health-based entrepreneur who has recently completed The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Gabriela has been dealing with body image issues for many years and recognizes that these issues are affecting her ability to effectively coach her clients. Tune in as Marc helps Gabriela identify how she can find peace around her body image so that she can do the same for her own clients. 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Many of us get fixated on being a certain size or shape, while largely ignoring self-care or engaging in practices that improve our health, energy, and vitality. If this is you, just know you deserve more than trying to get yourself to fit into a certain size. You’re worthy of your love, of which self-care is a direct reflection.
 
check mark button Ironically, those of us who are fitness or health professionals can be particularly prone to obsession around dieting, food restriction, excessive exercise, and the like. So there’s an opportunity to ask ourselves: are we engaging in these activities out of self-love? If not, we must cultivate the wisdom to refine our approach and learn to give our bodies what they need and want.
 
check mark button We’ve all heard it before, but in order to help others, we truly do have to learn how to walk our talk. 
 
check mark button But please understand: this doesn’t mean being perfect. It means opening up our hearts and moving from a place of self and other compassion. It means understanding we’re all humans, here to learn and grow on this journey of life.
 
check mark button Exercising and eating right for our unique bodies should create a kind of natural joy and happiness. If they’re not, it’s time to evaluate our approach.

Our Relationship with Food is Like A Dance

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
Maria is a 31-year old director of a dance and cardio training program who has a lifelong love of nutrition and finds herself generally happy with her relationship to food and body. But she finds herself often busy at work on her computer, and often missing her body’s cues for when and what to eat. In today’s episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, eating psychology expert Marc David helps Maria develop a more present and nuanced relationship with her appetite. Tune in now!
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Digestive problems, disordered eating, and body image issues have as much to do with why and how we eat, as they do with what we’re eating. 
 
check mark button To become an intuitive and mindful eater, identifying and trusting the body’s hunger cues is key.
 
check mark button Part of trusting our body’s cues is learning to trust ourselves as humans. Give yourself permission to experiment. Listen to what your body is telling you as you make different choices, and then refine those choices as you develop more body awareness.
 
check mark button Our relationship with food is much like dance. When we see eating from a place of self-connection, creative self-expression, and deep presence, we can find ourselves in a natural state of flow, joy, and true health.
 
check mark button Reframing our relationship with food in this way allows us to move away from old thought patterns of “good food” versus “bad food,” or “good choices” versus “bad choices.” This creates so much more internal space for ourselves, and we begin to experience food in an entirely different way.
 
With his dual training in clinical nutrition and psychology, Marc David has spent the last 40 years helping people around the world heal their relationship with food. As the founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, he reaches millions each year through his books, speaking engagements, celebrated podcast series, and his internationally-acclaimed Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training.

A Woman Turns The Tide On Negative Self-Talk

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
In this week’s episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc works with Nikol, a 40-year old law professor from Croatia. Nikol acknowledges she’s a sensitive person who often turns to food, especially sugar, to manage her emotions. While Nikol is looking to lose weight, more than anything she wants to find freedom around food … to be able to enjoy it, but not need it to calm or numb her feelings. Tune in as Marc David, founder of The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training, helps her redefine what freedom around food truly means. 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Childhood challenges and traumas go right to the core. As children, we have very simple means of regulating emotions – food being a key way to soothe and comfort.
 
check mark button The residue of these challenges continues through adulthood until we consciously face and work through them.
 
check mark button As adults, we can find ourselves confused why we have unwanted eating habits such as binging – and often completely overlook the deeper psychological reasons these habits were formed in the first place.  
 
check mark button Therefore, changing any unwanted eating habit must involve more than simply trying to eat less sugar or adhering to strict food rules. If you want sustainable change, learn about yourself, your past, and your psychology. Discover and tend to the places inside where you’re hurting.   
 
check mark button Paying attention to our inner dialogue – meaning how we speak to ourselves and about ourselves – is a good place to start changing from the inside out. Speak kindly, compassionately, and lovingly … you deserve it.

Why Emotional Metabolism is Key to a Vibrant, Healthy Life

Eating psychology expert and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David explains the concept of emotional metabolism. While physiological metabolism governs the literal breakdown of what we eat and drink, emotional metabolism is all about processing emotions that come up in the course of everyday life. As Marc explains, metabolizing our emotions is vital not just to our psychological health — but to our physical health as well. Don’t miss this insightful podcast!
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button The body’s metabolism takes the air we breathe and the food and water we consume, and turns it into fuel while removing toxins. This is nutritional metabolism. 
 
check mark button Emotional metabolism involves the deliberate, consistent practice of allowing our emotions to surface. We then have the opportunity to become more conscious and present human beings.
 
check mark button When we don’t allow ourselves to feel and process our emotions, there can be a literal effect on the body’s physiology and organ systems.
 
check mark button Unwanted eating challenges such as overeating, binge eating, and emotional eating are often signs of unprocessed emotions or trauma.
 
check mark button Societal conditioning tells us to “suck it up” or “get with the program” — meaning, we’re often encouraged to suppress and deny our feelings. Rejecting this conditioning and embracing our feelings — including the challenging ones — is fundamental to enjoying a healthy and fulfilling life.

In Session With Marc David: A 48 Year Old Woman Ends The Battle With Her Body
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Melanie is a 48-year-old yoga instructor who had no weight issues before her pregnancies. She then gained 65 pounds, which she has been unable to lose. Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, explains to Melanie why dieting is not working for her, and describes what will help and why. Listen now!
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Even those who have no problem with weight can develop weight issues later in life and may find it difficult to lose the weight. Our bodies are constantly changing, and there can be a multitude of reasons weight loss isn’t happening.
 
check mark button The thyroid can be implicated in weight gain, so getting worked up by a medical practitioner is a key step in ruling out possible causes.
 
check mark button Trying to lose weight can be a stressor. Dieting often makes the body hungry, stressed. Therefore, getting off the diet cycle and aligning with the long-term goal of sustainable, gentle weight loss is key.
 
check mark button Eating too fast robs us of enjoying our food, as well as the sensation of satiation after a meal. Ironically, part of effective weight loss means owning the pleasure we receive from food. Why not allow yourself to slow down a little and truly savor every bite? 
 
check mark button Pleasure from a meal regulates the appetite. So, it is important to create a positive atmosphere for eating and to give time for cephalic phase digestive response of the body.

The Most Important Exercise Secret
 
Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David shares a vital secret about exercise. For those who dislike exercise, find it burdensome and do it only for reasons of weight loss, he provides a vital reframe. Check out this podcast where Marc explores this important topic.
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button There are some people who love exercising, to whom being active comes naturally. But for many of us, exercising is a chore and a burden. If that’s you, it’s time to reimagine your approach to exercise. 
 
check mark button Exercising against your will results in the release of stress hormones. The stress perception makes the body store fat, and in the end, the body can end up losing little or no weight.
 
check mark button Forced exercise that comes from hating the body is rarely sustainable and feels terrible. Finding a relationship with inspired movement is a much better path to being in healthy relationship with ourselves and our bodies.
 
check mark button Instead of exercise that you hate doing, find other enjoyable ways to be active. Concentrate on being alive and happy instead of trying to exercise for weight loss, and you will find it easier to meet your fitness & health goals.

When Life Challenges Lead to Weight Gain
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Sabine was a healthy weight for much of her life, before the end of a marriage resulted in acute stress and sudden, sharp weight gain. Eating psychology expert Marc David offers insight into Sabine’s weight gain and explains how she can lose the weight -- without trying so hard to do so. Listen now!
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button The desire to lose weight can be more than just about looks. It can be about freedom and self-respect.
 
check mark button A lot of people learn to respond to stress by turning to food or drink early in life. It takes time and patience to decouple stress and the eating/drinking response.
 
check mark button There could be some benefits of carrying some extra weight. One can feel more grounded, solid, and stronger.
 
check mark button Sometimes, life is asking you to go beyond a single-pointed focus on losing weight. It’s asking us to step into our bodies and our lives, fully - as we are, right now. 
 
check mark button Your relationship with your body mirrors your relationship with life. How are you showing up for yourself?

The Evolutionary Reason the Human Body Craves Carbs

https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/

Marc David, visionary, teacher, and consultant in the novel field of Eating Psychology, explains why the human body has evolved to crave carbs, and how this has helped us survive and adapt over the ages. Now, however, our modern lifestyles have created a bio-rhythmic confusion where our environment has changed but the urge to consume carbs has not. Check out this podcast to know how carbohydrates fool the body and what you can do about it.

 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button There is an evolutionary reason for the human body craving sugar and looking to instinctively load up on carbs whenever available. The body evolved to eat during summer and during times of plenty to ride out hard winter times.
 
check mark button This instinctive human urge has not changed though the availability of carbs has. Carbs fool the body and make us consume more than the body can metabolize.
 
check mark button Hibernating animals such as bears demonstrate this behavior of fattening up during the plentiful summer months to tide over the lean winter months. Here, the high blood pressure and diabetic state actually help in survival.
 
check mark button In our modern lifestyles, we consume carbs all around the year, signaling the pre-hibernation stage to the body. This, along with artificial light and less sleep, causes the body to store fat and prevents the body from reaching its metabolic potential.
 
check mark button Changing the quantity and quality of carbs consumed, and making changes in sleep patterns helps the body relinquish its fat stores. Learning what works best for your body will help you make the most informed choices.

In Session With Marc David: It’s Not About Cutting Out Sugar … It’s About Adding In Life
 
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Tracy is a fitness instructor who has been hooked on sugar since she was a toddler. She recently turned 50 and still struggles with sugar. Listen in as Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, explores the reasons behind Tracy’s sugar cravings and why it doesn’t have to be all or nothing for her. Listen now!
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Emotional attachments to sugary foods can start as early as infancy. For some of us, sugar cravings can dominate our lives and make us feel out of control with our eating habits.
 
check mark button It’s important to recognize that there are fundamental reasons rooted in our biology, psychology, or both, for sugar cravings. 
 
check mark button Food is in our genetic memory. It is the first feel-good experience for most human beings. 
 
check mark button Turning to sugar as a source of comfort or emotional regulation during stressful times is not a sign that we’re weak or undisciplined - it simply means we’re humans trying to find methods for emotional regulation. Looking to other ways to manage our stress is key to lessening our reliance on sugar. 
 
check mark button Finding balance with food cravings such as sugar is not so much about cutting out the “bad” or unwanted food out. It’s about adding in life — whatever that means for us personally.

Why Suppressing Hunger Never Works For Weight Loss
 
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Are You Trying to Control Your Appetite?
 
In this short video, author of the groundbreaking and bestselling books ‘Nourishing Wisdom’ and ‘The Slow Down Diet’, Marc David takes a look at appetite, and why trying to control it might not be such a great idea. If you’re trying to lose weight, you won’t want to miss this episode! 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button People looking to lose weight will often try to suppress their appetite. However, this never works as a long-term weight loss strategy, as we’re constantly at war with our natural physiology. 
 
check mark button Appetite is not the enemy. We are designed to enjoy and find pleasure in food, it’s hard-wired into our biology. If you are waging a war on your appetite, it’s time to call a ceasefire.
 
check mark button Learning to honor and listen to our appetite is essential to developing a healthy relationship with food.
 
check mark button Using food as a de-stressor is not only natural, but perfectly OK. The key is making a conscious choice that you’re using food to relax, and to simply allow yourself to feel encumbered pleasure while eating. If you’re trying to lose weight, it becomes even more important to make eating consciously - and to begin identifying other ways to let go of stress.
 
check mark button One of the most effective strategies to tuning into your natural appetite is to practice slow eating. Over time, slow eating transforms appetite dysregulation and helps us know when we’re truly hungry.

In Session With Marc David: Life Transitions & Letting Go
 
When it comes to eating challenges, it’s easy to overthink the simple act of nourishing ourselves with food. In this week’s episode, eating psychology expert Marc David works with Juliet, a fitness instructor and graduate of The Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training. Juliet reports making amazing progress in her struggles with food and body but still finds herself overanalyzing food choices. Tune in as they explore ways for Juliet to find more peace and freedom around food, and embrace a new milestone in her life. 
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button There is so much information out there about what (and what not) to eat, that it can be difficult to know what’s best for one’s own body.
 
check mark button A great first step in learning to eat more intuitively is letting go of the idea that there is a “right” way to eat. The truth is that every BODY is different and has unique nutritional needs.
 
check mark button Another important early step in adopting a more intuitive eating style is bringing increased awareness to how different foods make your body feel. Do you have energy after eating a certain food? Do you feel light and happy? Or are you sluggish or bloated or moody? These are the kinds of signals your body gives you to communicate what it likes - and what it doesn’t. 
 
check mark button As you positively transform your relationship with food, there can be a sort of identity confusion where how you defined yourself previously (as a binge eater or an emotional eater, for example) no longer stands - but you’re not quite sure who the next version of you is yet. 
 
check mark button In this way, food and body transformations are part of the overall growth and evolution we experience over a lifetime. We’re often saying goodbye to some aspect of ourselves while welcoming in a new, lesser-known part of our emerging self.

The Psychology of Cleansing and Detoxing
 
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
The process of fasting or undergoing a detox or cleanse has many benefits for the body. But did you know that one’s mindset going into a cleanse is as important as the cleanse itself? Join Marc David, an innovator in Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition, to learn more about the positive benefits of cleansing, and how to cultivate the mindset necessary for a great experience.  If you would like to get the best out of your cleanse or detox, be sure to listen in as Marc explains the psychology behind cleansing.
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button When undergoing a detox or cleanse, your mindset will undoubtedly impact the outcome. Understanding the psychological components of cleansing is key to achieving great results. 
 
check mark button Ancient cultures have long understood the importance of fasting and cleansing the body of toxins. These were practices that were seen to optimize the body and all its functions -- an intelligent nutritional defense for the body.
 
check mark button Today human beings are bombarded with all sorts of pollutants from the air, water and earth around us. The body has to combat tens of thousands of artificial chemicals every year. This is why a cleanse or detox can be so important. 
 
check mark button The process of fasting or undergoing a detox has value beyond just the physical. It can help to eliminate poisons stored in the body and bring about emotional detox as well.
 
check mark button The healing, repair and maintenance of body tissue happens when there is a physiologic relaxation response from the body. So it is important to let go and slow down, and to check in with the body before going in for a cleanse or detox.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, speaks to Kathy, a 38-year old woman diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, Celiac disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chemical sensitivities. She comes to Marc looking for help in making peace with food restrictions she’s had to put into place to ease her autoimmune reactions. Listen in as Marc helps reframe some of the ways she’s been perceiving her challenges, and gives her some surprising advice about the usefulness of strict food rules in healing her body.
 
Key Insights:
 
check mark button Autoimmune conditions and chemical sensitivities can have numerous causes; among them can be a triggering event of some kind — whether a physical, environmental, or emotional trauma.
 
check mark button When traumatic events happen early in life, our young brains are not always able to process them - and this can lead to physiological dysfunction later in life.
 
check mark button Taking on the role of family mediator or “helper” as a young child can create a psychological pattern where one learns to prioritize others’ needs over their own. As a result, a hyper-alert, anxious, and stressed state develops that affects our physiology, including our immune system.
 
check mark button Creating a nourishing relationship with food, reducing stress as much as possible, getting into nature regularly, and using tools such as meditation and breathing techniques can help to reduce autoimmune symptoms
 
check mark button A highly useful program for people with autoimmune issues and chemical sensitivities is DNRS or the Dynamic Neural Retraining System.

Did You Know You're on a Metabolic Journey?
 
Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, shares some fascinating insights into the body’s metabolism in this video. He explains why people’s plans to lose weight and boost energy tend to fail simply because they don’t have the entire picture of their metabolism. Tune in to understand how one's metabolic journey starts at conception, and how that journey has high and low points that we can learn from and grow with.
 
Key Insights
 
check mark button Weight loss and fat burning plans often don’t succeed because people do not have the full picture of their metabolism. The body’s metabolism has to be seen in a holistic way to achieve these goals.
 
check mark button The body’s metabolism is a lifelong story that begins at conception and continues till a person draws their last breath. The high and low points of that journey can tell us a lot, if we learn to listen.
