Why Am I Eating at Night? Understanding Night Eating Syndrome in Your 30s, 40s, & 50s

In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne unpacks Night Eating Syndrome (NES): what it is, how it differs from binge eating disorder, and why it so often emerges or intensifies in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. From hormonal shifts to chronic stress, neurodivergence, caregiving burnout, and sensory overload, we explore the deeper reasons behind nighttime eating patterns—and why they’re not a sign of failure.

Whether you're struggling to sleep without eating, feeling ashamed about late-night food rituals, or just trying to understand your body better, this episode offers shame-free insight and compassionate support.

🎧 Tune in to learn:

• What Night Eating Syndrome really is (and isn’t)

• Why it’s common in midlife and among neurodivergent folks

• What your nighttime eating might be trying to communicate

• How to begin supporting yourself with care—not control
