Maggie Sterling
About this episode

You've tried every diet, counted every calorie, and switched up your workout routine more times than you can remember - but you still feel completely out of control around food. What if the reason you can't stop overeating has nothing to do with willpower, meal plans, or even the food itself? In this episode, we dig into why traditional weight loss approaches keep failing you and what your body is actually trying to communicate through your eating patterns. If you've ever found yourself asking "why can't I just stop eating when I'm not hungry?" this conversation will completely shift how you think about your struggle with food.
