RYW 122: Why You Eat When You're Not Hungry
13/2/2026 | 20 mins.
In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the most common questions I get from my audience: “Why do I eat when I’m not actually hungry?”
Maybe you’ve found yourself reaching for food even when your stomach isn’t growling, only to wonder afterward, “Why did I just do that?” You may have blamed a lack of willpower or self-control, but this episode will show you there’s so much more to it. We'll explore why eating when you’re not hungry is really a brain response—not a personal failing—and uncover the three main drivers behind this behavior: emotional regulation, mental overload, and habit loops.
This episode is packed with practical insights and actionable strategies to help you understand your relationship with food, regulate your nervous system, and start retraining your brain—so you can create lasting change without relying on willpower alone. If you’re ready to unravel the mystery behind your eating habits, this one’s for you!

If you’ve ever wondered why certain food habits seem impossible to break or why traditional weight loss strategies fall short, this episode will help you connect the dots—and offer a science-backed, compassionate perspective on how true change begins.
