In this must-listen episode of DoctorXDietitian, we pull back the curtain on one of the most common and frustrating challenges on a weight loss journey—emotional eating. Whether it’s stress, boredom, or feeling overwhelmed, emotional eating creeps in when we least expect it. Instead of filling a hunger gap, it fills an emotional void, leaving us feeling guilty and stuck in a vicious cycle. But what if you could break free? Dr. Betsy Dovec and Hannah Schuyler, RD, not only tackle the science behind emotional eating but also share their own personal experiences with it. They open up about how they’ve faced these struggles themselves and how they've learned to transform emotional eating into an opportunity for personal growth.

This episode is packed with actionable insights, including how to recognize emotional triggers, apply proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, and build emotional resilience. Dr. Dovec and Hannah dive into mindful eating practices that will empower you to press pause, reflect, and regain control when emotions push you toward the pantry. You’ll walk away with real-life tools to disrupt the cycle and reclaim your relationship with food—without the guilt.

The DoctorXDietitian collab share the importance of self-compassion throughout the process. This journey isn’t about being perfect, and they’re here to remind you that setbacks are part of the learning curve. Tune in to hear their stories of struggle and success, and discover how you, too, can set realistic goals, celebrate your wins, and ultimately rewrite your emotional eating story.
