The Lose Your Cravings Podcast...Taking a mindful approach to a reducing your cravings for good!
If you are joining me, then you are probably suffering and struggling with cravings. You have tried everything out there. Every diet, every pill, every shake, every workout program which leaves you in a yo-yo dieting cycle with your weight fluctuating. You lose some weight but are SO deprived and you run out of willpower, so you end up overeating or binging on the very delicious foods that you were supposed to be staying away from.
In this podcast, I take a different approach to cravings that will help you break free from this cycle, feel in control around food, reduce your cravings, and feel amazing in your body all without feeling deprived or having to follow a strict meal plan.

185: The Everest Effect
Jan 2200:10:40Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we explore the Everest Effect as a compassionate, non-diet framework for healing your relationship with food. Using the metaphor of climbing Mount Everest, we normalize the ups and downs of working with cravings, emotional eating, bingeing, and body image—showing why progress is never a straight line. Periods of feeling grounded and using tools to sit with cravings are part of the climb, while days of overeating are not failures but necessary returns to “base camp” that help us acclimate, gather awareness, and build capacity. Rather than responding with shame or restriction, we invite curiosity, self-compassion, and support, reminding listeners that each cycle deepens trust, resilience, and choice—and that sustainable change with food happens through gentleness, not force.Join my Nourished Mind + Body Community here!Become a sponsor of the Lose Your Cravings Podcast here!patreon.com/loseyourcravingsGet my FREE Guide: Break Free From Nighttime EatingWant to dive deeper into ending your cravings and overeating once and for all? → Book a call with me!

Instead of reaching for food or distractions, we can learn to embrace boredom as an opportunity for creativity, self-awareness, and personal growth.
