Episode #187: Stress Eating Mini Series: The Escapist

Summary 

The holidays are here — and so are the endless parties, deadlines, and emotions that make it feel impossible to stay on plan. But what if stress wasn’t the villain? What if understanding how your body and brain respond to stress could help you finally stay consistent through the busiest season of the year?

In this first episode of the Stress Type Mini-Series, we’re diving into the Flight Response — also known as The Escapist. You’ll learn why your brain feels pulled toward the pantry (or the wine glass) when life gets hectic, and how to retrain it without more willpower or rules.
