What if your food cravings aren’t something you need to control but something your body is trying to tell you?This week on The Bomb Life Podcast, host Melissa Vogel sits down with Stephanie Mara Fox, MA, Somatic Nutritional Counselor, Mentor, and creator of Somatic Eating®, to explore the powerful connection between food behaviors, body awareness, trauma, and the nervous system.Stephanie shares how eating behaviors can be understood not simply as problems to “fix,” but as the body’s attempt to communicate unmet needs and create a sense of safety. Together, Melissa and Stephanie discuss how our experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system can influence hunger, cravings, and our relationship with food—and what it can look like to reconnect with the body instead of constantly fighting against it.Stephanie holds a Master’s Degree in Somatic Psychotherapy and is currently working toward her PhD. She is also a certified Health Coach, Mind Body Eating Coach, and Yoga Instructor. With more than 15 years of experience supporting women worldwide, she has also supervised thousands of coaches, counselors, wellness practitioners, and therapists.Key Takeaways:· Somatic psychology and its connection to food behaviors· Why safety and security can influence the way we eat· How trauma and attachment may affect our relationship with food· The nervous system’s role in hunger and cravings· What your food behaviors may be trying to communicate· Practices for building the capacity to be present with yourselfIf you’ve ever wondered “Why do I keep craving this?” or felt frustrated with your relationship with food, this conversation offers a different perspective: your body may not be working against you—it may be communicating with you.Useful Links:Watch Full Episodes on YouTubeVisit Melissa's WebsiteMelissa’s Amazon ShopBook a Call with MelissaJoin the FREE It's Melissa Vogel VIP FB GroupConnect with Melissa on Facebook and InstagramEmail Melissa: [email protected] Podcast Produced by Jen Kourtei at Savvy Edge MarketingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
