Ep. 105 - Emotional Eating, Cortisol & Burnout: Why You Feel Exhausted Even When You’re Doing the Healing Work | Amber Romaniuk
You meditate. You do the inner work. So why are you still exhausted, overwhelmed and reaching for food when you’re stressed? In this episode, I’m joined by emotional eating, digestive and hormone expert Amber Romaniuk to explore the relationship between emotional eating, hormones, nervous system overwhelm and spiritual healing. Amber shares her personal journey through binge eating, restrictive dieting and shame, and what helped her change her relationship with food and herself. We explore why highly sensitive women can struggle to rest, say no and stop carrying everyone else’s emotions, and how those patterns can show up in their eating habits, work and relationships. Inside this episode: Emotional eating: what might you be trying to soothe, suppress or avoid? Cortisol, burnout and the pressure to keep achieving. Progesterone, thyroid health and questions to ask about hormone testing. People pleasing, boundaries and feeling guilty for resting. Amber’s perspective on Ozempic, GLP-1 medications and weight-loss quick fixes. Intuition, body awareness and making space to receive support. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve done so much healing, so why do I still feel like this?” this conversation is for you.
