Read this when healing and emotional well-being begins to feel like an intellectual exercise. We're prompted to read self-help books, watch enlightening videos, and engage in deep discussions. Yet, true healing transcends intellectualization; it requires us to engage with our bodies, placing equal emphasis on physical sensations and emotional introspection.
Mind-body medicine isn’t about analyzing our lives with a fine-toothed comb. Instead, it's about employing tools like imagery meditation to foster healing. Visualization allows us to imagine new paths to healing, contrasting with the analytical, left-brain tendencies we often adopt—especially those with backgrounds in engineering or science. In such fields, emotions are frequently intellectualized, offering increased self-awareness yet limited capacity for actual healing. However, real reconciliation with trauma requires more than just intellectual understanding.

However, there are often deeper root causes behind the drive to consume excess calories. By understanding some of these underlying factors, we can implement tailored solutions to tackle over eating.
Lack of Quality Sleep: If you're not getting enough sleep or struggling with a sleep disorder like sleep apnea or untreated narcolepsy, your body produces excess levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin. Sleep deprivation also throws off blood sugar regulation, leading to increased hunger the next day. If you suspect any sleep issues, discuss your symptoms with your provider to see if a sleep study may be beneficial. If you struggle with getting enough hours of sleep, try creating a structured sleep routine to implement every night. We recommend avoiding screen time at least 2-3 hours before your bedtime. Try reading, going for an evening walk, listening to binaural...
