A clue that food might be a coping strategy is if it feels scary or impossible to stop.

Food is the best solution for physical hunger...
..because there is a FINITE amount of food that solves physical hunger.

It looks like this:

✅ You’re physically hungry
✅ You eat
✅ You feel satisfied
✅ You stop eating
✅ You move on with your life

Coping strategies are things that help us numb out or disconnect from our dysregulated inner experience.

So when we use food to cope…

…there is an INFINITE amount of food we can eat because it never really works to solve the dysregulated inner experience that’s creating the “using food to cope”.

It looks like this:
✅ Something triggers you
✅ It doesn’t feel good because the trigger dysregulated your inner experience
✅ The protective strategy (that you learned a long time ago) to help you stop feeling the intensity in your body is to eat

The way out of this loop is through engaging in regulatory resources.

These are anything that help you feel present, calm, and safe in the present moment.

Taking a walk, get into nature, call a trusted friend, play with your pet, shake, dance, etc. are a few ideas.

The more you engage in regulatory practices, the easier it becomes to not choose food to cope.

If you’re looking for more support on how to do to this and how to untangle eating as a coping strategy....

A long time ago before you had words to describe the overwhelming emotional intensity pulsing through your body, you learned that food made you feel better.

And it did make you feel better. It was a way to change your inner experience and maybe even eat so much that the fullness numbed out whatever else was there.

The wisdom of your nervous system took over and you learned that food worked as a coping strategy. What a gift our nervous system gives us with all these protective layers!

The problems start when the thing we learned to do to feel safe and protected starts getting in the way of our health and vitality.

Then the problems become exacerbated because we think we can just “diet & exercise ourselves down”, will power and think our way to “fixing our body”

Except that our autonomic nervous system is like 500 million years old and will always win over our thinking mind when it comes to feeling safe.

The way we gently untangle food and feelings is to practice regulating the nervous system and teaching it safety...and this happens at the body level.

If you’re ready to truly be free from overeating, binge eating, mindless eating, stress eating... and all the other ways you use food to cope, Comment “CHALLENGE” below and I’ll send you to my totally free 5-day challenge that addresses these deeper reasons why you’re likely struggling with your body, weight, and relationship with food.

Freedom around food and your body is truly there... I’ll show you how in my Food & Body Freedom Challenge.

I was stuck in this hell for decades. It’s a painful and all consuming place to be.

For me, at the height of this insanity in my life, I felt like there was no escape.

The first step for me was a strong decision to never diet again.

While that was a super important first step, I spent the next 5 years not just trying to figure out a better relationship with food...but how my past unresolved traumas were the drivers for these crazy behaviors.

I studied eating psychology, somatics, and body-based trauma resolution to regulate my nervous system.

It was a long road for me to put these puzzle pieces together to:

✨ feeling peace around food,
✨ finding my ideal size and staying there for the last decade+, and
✨ literally forgetting about the chocolate in the pantry for months.

After refining the process, our clients get way faster results than I did...lol...But honestly...if would have taken me 10 years to get to where I am today, I’d do it again and again.

If you’re ready for next level peace around food and your body, just type CHALLENGE in the comments...

I’ll get you set up to experience your own inner transformation inside my Food & Body Freedom Challenge.

At the heart of all the ways we use food to cope, is a dysregulated nervous system trying to regulate itself with food.

Stressed out =
dysregulated nervous system =
stress eating to cope.

The problem here is that unless you’re physically hungry, using food doesn’t regulate the NS or process the emotional experience….

But a long time ago, when you didn’t have the healing tools to soothe and regulate your nervous system, you learned that food worked...and it did work!

It was the way your wise nervous system learned how to protect you from icky painful feelings...by stuffing them down with food.

Unfortunately, too many of us ignore the root cause of emotional eating...

—which is a dysregulated nervous system—
..and decide to go on a diet, hit the gym, and double-down on willpower.

This is a mistake.

This is like putting a bandaid on a bullet hole.

It will never work in the long run, which is likely why you either can’t lose weight or you gain it back.

The way to untangle
stress eating
anxious eating
mindless eating
overeating
bored eating
comfort eating
habit eating
binge eating...
..is to regulate your nervous system.

The more time you spend in the nervous system thriving state of regulation, the easier it is to untangle food and feelings.

It is your #1 ally to a healthier relationship with food and a sustainable weight loss journey that you never have to go on again once you learn how to process the emotional and dysregulated ns reasons for eating.

If you’d like to spend a week with me pulling apart the science and learning the step-by-step path out of food hell and body jail and into freedom...

How many times have you heard “calories in, calories out.”?

Enough times to want to 💪 someone. Amiright!? I get it, I’ve been there feeling so out of control with food, struggling to drop the extra pant sizes.

The industry doesn’t set women up to succeed. It’s really not meant to - otherwise where would all the revenue come from if you didn’t need them...

I kept finding myself on the yo-yo cycle of committing to be healthier, working SO hard…only to find myself falling off the wagon just a few days or weeks later!?!

If you’ve started then stopped, tried then failed with a million diets and workouts, this is for you.

https://hellobodyfreedom.com/challenge

Join me for a totally mind-blowing, totally do-able, and totally fun 5-day challenge where you’ll learn how to easily implement:

🔥The “Freedom Framework” to create a normal relationship with food where you begin to trust yourself, end emotional eating, and lose it in a sustainable non-diety way.

🔥My Neuroscience-Based System to Create Healthy Habits that Run on Autopilot so that we do the “Healthy Thing” (instead of the self-sabotaging thing) without even thinking about it.

🔥The EXACT Process I used on myself that has since helped THOUSANDS of women who struggled with their bodies, overeating, and unbearable cravings for years, to finally be SET FREE and experience the results they always dreamed of!

Hi, I’m Audra! 🙌

I’m obsessed with helping women lose the self-sabotaging habits that keep them stuck and feeling unworthy….because life is not meant to be wasted on those negative mojo killers!

This year alone, I have helped hundreds of women gain confidence and harness their inner mojo to slim down, lose the bulge and love their reflection in the mirror again!

Ready to get unstuck, end self-sabotage, and stop being run by unconscious old habits?

If you want access to “The Challenge Of ALL Challenges”, join me!

See you on the inside!

Attention, people, pleasers, perfectionist, and anyone who struggles creating healthy inner-boundaries with yourself, and outer-boundaries with other people:

It might feel crazy to connect those behaviors with stress-eating, comfort,-eating, emotional eating, overeating, binge eating, etc.…

But when we were spending all of our time, trying to get the love, safety, belonging, and attention that we need (because we are human… We all have these needs… ESPECIALLY as children)

We never learned what to do with our own emotional experiences when we were younger… (not our fault BTW. If we are raised by parents who also do not know how to feel + process, their own emotional experiences… how are the hell are they going to teach us?)
