Eating with Awareness: Tools to Navigate Non-Hunger & Emotional Eating

Humans eat for many reasons above and beyond physiological hunger drives. Do you find yourself opening the refrigerator over and over, just to look? Or grabbing for a favorite snack after a hard day at work? How about eating to cope with stressful life events? Emotional eating is very common yet can derail health and lifestyle goals and lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and distress. This session will focus on ways to identify emotional eating and practical tips, tools, and strategies to regulate emotions without turning to food.

Join us for this free webinar to connect with a supportive community, share experiences, and gain practical advice for achieving lasting diet and lifestyle changes. The Nourish to Flourish monthly webinar series, hosted by the Stanford Lifestyle and Weight Management Center, is open to all adults seeking to enhance their knowledge and tools for effective weight management and improved well-being.

This webinar will be presented by Brittany Matheson, PhD, who is a clinical assistant professor and licensed clinical psychologist in the Eating Disorders Clinic.
