Why Am I Eating My Feelings?

Tuesday, January 27, 2026 • Duration 39:10

Stress, uncertainty and unmet emotional needs can influence eating patterns in ways that go beyond hunger. Research suggests that many adults turn to food for comfort when feeling tired, anxious, inadequate or lonely — a pattern often described as emotional eating. So how can we recognize these triggers and develop healthier ways to cope? On this episode of On Nutrition, holistic nutritionist and health coach Ali Shapiro joins host Tara Schmidt, R.D.N., to discuss the root causes of emotional eating, how physiology and psychology interact, and practical strategies to pause, identify needs and build self-trust over time.
