The Emotional Eating Solution: A Radical Path to Healing Through Self-Compassion and Reparenting

A groundbreaking, evidence-based new approach to healthy eating that helps readers understand the causes of their emotional eating and use this understanding to build resilience, self-acceptance, and physical and emotional health

Hundreds of millions of Americans struggle with weight loss, body image, and health, yet despite decades of nutritional recommendations, fad diets, and modified eating habits, the problem becomes more pervasive every year. Jessica Brown knows why. A functional nutritionist and self-compassion teacher, she understands that applying external recommendations to an internal problem will never lead to lasting results. Instead, we need to uncover the reasons behind our eating habits and learn to trust and care for ourselves. Her radically different approach empowers readers to discover the self-beliefs that impact their relationship with food and learn to use self-compassion and reparenting to change those beliefs, cultivate self-trust, and increase emotional resilience to navigate life’s challenges with grace.

A therapeutic guide and practical plan in one, The Emotional Eating Solution will help readers:

- uncover how past experiences have shaped their relationship with food and self-perception
- improve their ability to accurately interpret hunger and fullness cues
- enhance their capacity to self-regulate their nervous system and emotions
- develop trust in their ability to handle emotional discomfort, reducing the reliance on food to compensate for perceived inadequacies

By tapping into their compassionate hearts and utilizing reparenting techniques, readers can recognize and address the painful areas within, correct misconceptions about themselves to enhance their body image, and ultimately heal their relationship with food.
