Show Notes
In this episode, we’re exploring what it really feels like to lose control around food, and why it’s so much more complicated than just “lacking willpower.”
We’ll unpack the reasons behind this feeling, showing how it’s not a personal failure but the result of complex factors like hormones, blood sugar fluctuations, and even the way diet culture has shaped our thinking about food.
We’ll also chat about how this all connects to PCOS and share some simple, practical ideas to help you feel more balanced and in control.
If you’ve ever felt this way or you’re just curious to understand it better, this episode is for you.
