Snack Attack or Stress Attack? How to Outsmart Emotional Eating

Show Notes:

Summary:
In this powerful episode, Rick Taylar digs into the psychology of emotional eating and why your cravings might be whispering more than just “I’m hungry.” 

Through humor, science, and some brutally honest truth bombs, you'll learn how to spot emotional eating in real-time, disrupt the cycle, and develop new habits that actually nourish your body and your brain. 

If you've ever found yourself elbow-deep in snacks wondering “Why am I doing this?”, this episode was made for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional eating is often a biological and psychological response—not a failure of willpower.
• Cravings driven by emotion tend to be urgent, specific, and disconnected from true hunger.
• Mindless eating—often triggered by stress, boredom, or routine—can become a hardwired habit loop.
• The “10-Minute Pause Trick” is a science-backed strategy to break the impulse-to-snack cycle.
• Mindful eating isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, curiosity, and self-connection.
• Emotional eating can be a red flag for deeper emotional needs—and reaching out for help is a powerful, healing next step.
