You're standing in front of the break room donuts at 2pm wondering: Am I actually hungry? Or have I already eaten too much? Should I eat this? What if I'm eating when I'm not really hungry?
If you've ever questioned whether you're "really" hungry, this episode is for you.
Diet culture taught us to stop trusting ourselves. Eat less, less, less. And medical training taught us to ignore our bodies - skip meals, hold our bladders, function alert on no sleep. No wonder you're second-guessing every hunger signal.
In this episode, I break down what physical hunger actually feels like versus other common types of eating I see with physicians. I explain why post-call hunger hits different (hello, increased ghrelin, decreased leptin, and impaired frontal lobe).
And I give you specific strategies for each type of eating so you can actually do something about it.
This episode is perfect for any physician who's tired of questioning every hunger signal and wants to start trusting herself again.
