Description
Alana Kessler, MS, RD, once looked high-functioning on the outside while privately battling emotional binge eating. Everything changed when she stopped trying to control food and began healing her nervous system. From emotional safety—not restriction—she ended the cycle and lost 40 pounds without dieting.
Emotional Eating Unwrapped shows how overeating and cravings come from stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and attachment patterns—not lack of willpower. Each episode teaches you how to regulate your nervous system, calm cravings, and trust your body again.
