Episode 141: Emotional Eating Expert Tricia Nelson

Jun 21, 2022

In this episode I’m speaking with Tricia Nelson, an internationally acclaimed author, transformational speaker, and Emotional Eating Expert. She lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating and has spent over thirty years researching the hidden causes of the addictive personality. Tricia is the Founder of Heal Your Hunger, Inc., author of the #1 bestselling book, Heal Your Hunger, 7 Simple Steps to End Emotional Eating Now and host of the popular podcast, The Heal Your Hunger Show. Additionally, Tricia is a TEDx speaker, a highly regarded coach, and has been featured on The List, NBC, CBS, KTLA, FOX and Discovery Health.   

There so many important takeaways from my conversation with Tricia, but here are some which struck me the most:

• Differentiating between physical and emotional hunger is key when working through emotional eating challenges;
• Obsessive food thoughts function like a painkiller, escape and punishment, so getting to the heart of why you overeat is key in your healing;

• Knowing yourself when it comes to your overall well-being – and learning to make self-care a priority in your life – can go a long way in helping you make healthy eating choices;

• For those who struggle with emotional eating, the 3 Meal Magic plan can help you learn to identify physical hunger cues and make a connection between emotions and eating;
