Emotional Eating Recovery After Relapse | Q & Alana Part 5 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You can eat well all day and still end up in the kitchen at 9 PM going through every cabinet. You can try every program, every accountability partner, every clean-eating reset, and still feel lower each time one stops working. In this Q&A, Alana answers real listener questions about nighttime eating after a full social day, why ‘willpower’ is something only people who don’t have the insight talk about, what intuitive eating actually requires before it can work, and when caring about what you eat
How Kids Learn Food Beliefs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your child may never hear you say, “This food is bad” - and still learn that cake deserves a sigh, seconds require an excuse, or certain foods are better eaten in private.

Evan tells the story of
Why Food Noise Comes Back When Nothing Is Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Alana talks about something she keeps hearing from the women she works with, and it doesn’t match the story any of us were told about food noise.

If food noise were really just a stress response, it would show up during
