Dread, Overeating, and the Brain: How to Break the Cycle

135- Do you ever catch yourself eating when you’re not hungry—or scrolling endlessly—just to avoid something you’d rather not face? That’s dread, and it quietly fuels anxiety, overeating, and exhaustion.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the hidden link between dread, overeating, and procrastination, how the amygdala, limbic system, and prefrontal cortex each play a role, a client’s honest story about dread, eating, and scrolling and what helped her break the loop, and three practical tips to reduce dread and stop buffering with food or your phone.

If dread has been draining your energy or driving your habits, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and the tools to take your power back.
