We’re told food should be pleasurable — and it should. But what happens when the foods that feel good in the moment leave you feeling worse afterward?
In this episode, we unpack the emotional trap of “pleasure foods” — the ones that taste great but come with guilt, regret, or feeling out of control. You’ll learn how to shift your relationship with these foods so they stop running the show.
Inside this episode:
Why certain foods feel so emotionally charged
The hidden pain behind your favorite comfort foods
How to enjoy food without the crash or spiral
A new way to think about pleasure — one that actually supports your goals
This isn’t about cutting out what you love. It’s about reclaiming your power around it.
