Emotional Eating refers to the use of food to manage or suppress emotions, such as stress, sadness, boredom, or anxiety. It often leads to a disconnected relationship with food and body signals. Berry Street's compassionate care guides individuals towards understanding their emotional triggers, promoting healthier coping strategies, and stopping emotional eating.
Recognizing the need for specialized emotional eating guidance can enhance well-being and foster a mindful relationship with food. Working with a Berry Street dietitian can address emotional eating symptoms such as:
Eating in response to feelings rather than hunger
Frequent cravings, especially for comfort foods
Guilt or regret after eating
Struggling to identify true hunger and fullness cues
Guided nutrition support ensures a nurturing and healing journey away from emotional eating.
An Emotional Eating dietitian or nutritionist helps you implement mindful eating patterns to improve cortisol regulation. Through Medical Nutrition Therapy, we address the root cause of stress-eating by providing neurotransmitter support through personalized meal planning and insurance-covered nutrition.
What People Are Saying About Our Dietitians
Tammy
Molly at Berry Street has helped me transform my life after a chronic illness and injury caused a loss of mobility and weight gain. I have dropped from a size 16/18 to a 10/12. I have never had a weight problem, but aging and health changed that. Molly got me back on track and not only my weight is getting under control, but my emotional and spiritual health is great again. I could never have done this on my own. Its great to have someone to ask questions when im unsure, and she is ready with a solution.

Maria is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable about what I need based on my health needs and my emotional state. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking help with their dietary habits or wants to make informed decisions.
