Ep 176: How to Heal Emotional Eating with Amber Romaniuk

Jun 15

Today, Karolina is talking with emotional eating and digestive health and hormone expert Amber Romaniuk. Sometimes the reasons why we form a relationship with alcohol can also present in other areas of our lives, like emotional eating.

Amber is so vulnerable as she shares her remarkable story with emotional eating, binging food, and how she's been able to heal her inner child, fix her gut and digestive issues, and catapult that into a successful practice where she helps thousands of women across the globe do the same.

Your body is a divine vessel and the more you love yourself, the better you will feel!

IN THIS EPISODE:

How Amber deeply struggled with food addiction and self-sabotage and was conditioned throughout her childhood to suffer from unconscious, mindless eating patterns
The impacts of emotional eating on your digestive health, hormones, and mental health
Amber explains the microcosm of control when it comes to food. Our egos tell us that we’re in control because we can choose what we eat, but we’re also out of control if we’re binge eating and over-eating
The many different meanings of health - it’s more than just a number on a scale. It’s about optimal energy balance, gut balance, hormones, being free of cravings, your mental health feeling at ease, and not feeling guilty after you have a piece of cake
How to mend your past traumas and heal your inner child (and why Amber recommends the Emotional Freedom Technique, or “tapping” to clear out those emotions)
Amber shares what she eats in a typical day, including her favorite smoothie hack and why a vegan diet didn’t work for her

REFLECTION QUESTION:

What past patterns and mindsets have you had around food or your health as a whole?

How would you speak to your inner child to heal those emotions?

“Control is a huge component of why we go to food. And I think it is because we feel so out of control in so many areas of our life and in the world. We're not taught that we're not supposed to be in control of everything, and we lack trust in ourselves, our paths, why we're here, etc. We want control.” - Amber Romaniuk

“Health has many different meanings. To me, it's not a number on the scale. Our body’s weight will go to what is natural as we heal without us having to diet, restrict, exercise. That happened to me and it happens to my clients all the time. But to me, health is really looking at optimal energy balance, gut balance, hormones, being free of cravings, your PMS and menopause symptoms going away. It's your mental health, it's feeling at ease and peace with food and not feeling the guilt after you have a piece of cake or some ice cream. It is desiring to want to take care of yourself and your body because this is the divine vessel that you have to live this life.” - Amber Romaniuk
