05 Sep 2025

Description

Episode Description: You know those days when you wake up tired, and before you know it, you’re reaching for coffee, donuts, chips, anything to keep going? You’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not lacking willpower. When you’re running on empty, there are real changes happening in your body that make cravings stronger and energy harder to manage. In this episode, we’ll unpack what’s really going on when exhaustion hits, why your body asks for quick fixes, and how to work with those signals instead of feeling like you’re fighting against them. I’ll share practical ways to balance your energy, support your mood, and make food choices that actually help you feel better—without guilt, shame, or complicated rules. Key Takeaways: Why exhaustion triggers intense cravings  How your hunger and fullness cues change when you’re low on sleep Easy ways to stabilize energy without over-restricting or cutting carbs Simple swaps, snack pairings, and hydration hacks that can make a real difference A mindset shift around cravings that takes the pressure off …and more! If you’re in one of those seasons where you’re just trying to keep up, you don’t need another set of rules or someone telling you to “just try harder.” You need compassion. You need space to breathe. And sometimes, it starts with giving your body what it needs without shame. You’re doing better than you think.
