Food addiction, emotional eating, ultra processed food patterns, and sustainable recovery are explored in this episode of Real Food Recovery Podcast™ with TEDx speaker and transformational nutrition coach Katy Landis.
Katy shares how years of emotional eating and self sabotaging behaviors led her to gain and lose control repeatedly before discovering that lasting healing was not about dieting, restriction, or willpower. After losing 80 pounds by addressing the emotional and nervous system roots underneath her food patterns, she now helps others break free from the stress, eat, regret cycle and rebuild trust with themselves.
Paige and Katy discuss how ultra processed food addiction affects emotional regulation, nervous system overload, binge cycles, grief, trauma, self worth, and recovery fatigue. This conversation offers grounded insight for anyone feeling trapped in compulsive eating behaviors or exhausted from constantly starting over.
Topics include emotional eating, nervous system regulation, trauma and grief, binge eating cycles, stress responses, emotional resilience, sustainable nutrition, self sabotage, food addiction recovery, and rebuilding self trust.
If you are struggling with ultra processed food patterns, binge eating, emotional eating, or feeling stuck in recovery, this episode will meet you where you are with honesty, compassion, and practical hope.
