Emotional Eating: How Can You Shift This Naturally? Dr. Jordan Atkinson B.Sc. ND
Practice Mindful Eating Cultivate a mindful and present approach to eating, savoring each bite, and recognizing when you’re truly hungry or simply seeking emotional comfort. Identify Emotional Triggers Understand the underlying emotions that drive your emotional eating patterns, such as stress, anxiety, boredom, or loneliness, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Seek Support Enlist the help of a qualified naturopathic doctor or counselor to address the root causes of emotional eating and develop a personalized plan for sustainable change. Incorporate Stress Management Techniques Explore natural stress-relieving activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or journaling to reduce the stress that often leads to emotional eating.
Nutrient-Dense Diet Prioritize balanced, nutrient-dense diet rich in whole foods, which can help regulate mood, improve energy levels, and reduce cravings for unhealthy foods. Stay Hydrated Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as dehydration can sometimes be mistaken for hunger or contribute to emotional eating.
