If you've ever found yourself standing in your kitchen at 9 PM eating straight out of a bag of chips, or polishing off an entire pint of ice cream while watching Netflix, this episode is going to change everything for you. Nighttime eating is one of the most common struggles I see with clients - that feeling of being "good" all day, only to completely lose control once the sun goes down. You're not broken, you don't lack willpower, and you're definitely not alone. There are very real, very logical reasons why this happens, and I'm breaking down all five of them today.

In this episode, you'll discover why your body sends those desperate "eat everything now" signals at night, how decision fatigue makes it nearly impossible to resist cravings after a long day (though I'll give you the cure), and why nighttime eating is often your body's way of asking for something that has nothing to do with food. I'm sharing the exact strategies that work to break this cycle - from creating a crucial transition pause between your day and evening (you cannot go from 100 miles per hour straight into a box of cookies) to addressing the real emotional needs that food can't actually meet.

This isn't about perfection or never eating at night again - it's about eating from a place of choice rather than compulsion. You'll learn how to fuel your body properly during the day so it doesn't demand payback at night, and simple environment changes that can interrupt those automatic eating patterns. If you're ready to finally understand why this keeps happening and get concrete tools to change it, this episode will be a game-changer.
