Ep 592- Food Noise vs Hunger — Do You Know the Difference?

This episode explores the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger — the “food noise” that keeps so many people stuck in cravings, overeating, and confusion around food. Tricia breaks down why emotional eaters often can’t trust the simple advice to “eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full,” and shares a powerful five-question self-check to help listeners pause, get curious, and start understanding what’s really driving their cravings. This episode is an invitation to stop judging yourself and start reconnecting with your body, your emotions, and your true needs.
