Episode 220: The Neuroscience of Emotional Eating That Puts the Diet Industry Out of Business.

Jun 12, 2026
 

 

The weight loss industry has made hundreds of billions of dollars, knowing you are going to buy the diets, pills, shakes, and quick fixes. But what if the sustainable fix was actually in your brain? 

Today, we’re getting into the neuroscience of emotional eating, specifically, what happens to your brain and body right before you crash out and binge eat. These are the patterns that connect your childhood emotions to why you can’t stop eating today.


Together, we will investigate:

  • The diet industry has made hundreds of billions of dollars but never solved the actual problem.
  • The connection between your emotions and memories, and how that one distinction explains your emotional eating. 
  • What happens to your brain and body right before you crash out and binge eat. 
  • The brain science of emotional eating explained in real-life scenarios. 
  • The three ways women cope with unprocessed emotions, and why every single one of them leads back to food.
