Ep # 94: The Missing Link Between Stress & Emotional Eating w/ Erin Wallen

Weight Loss Doesn't Have to Suck

Ever feel like you're doing all the "right things" for weight loss, but stress keeps derailing your progress? In this week's episode, I sit down with stress management expert Erin Wallen to explore the fascinating connection between stress, our nervous system, and emotional eating. We dive into why traditional approaches like thought work and willpower often fall short when we're stressed - and what actually works instead.

You'll learn practical, science-backed strategies for managing stress without turning to food, including two powerful techniques that take just seconds to do. Plus, we discuss why the first things to go when we're stressed (sleep, movement, connection) are exactly what we need most, and how to break this cycle. If you've ever found yourself stress-eating at night or reaching for comfort foods after a long day, this conversation will give you a whole new perspective on what's really happening in your body and how to handle it differently.
