"We're moving toward a peaceful outcome with food and with yourself"

This week’s episode is with Dr Bunmi Aboaba, a food addiction coach helping her clients achieve a healthy relationship with food to meet long-term health goals. Dr Bunmi’s work covers the full spectrum of disordered eating, including overeating, compulsive eating, emotional eating, and other associated patterns. She is also the author of 'Craving Freedom', a new book for those wanting to build a healthy relationship with food. 

A leading authority on food addiction, Dr Bunmi also supports nutritionists, nurses, teachers, health and fitness professionals, dieticians and medical clinicians to help their clients achieve long-lasting results.

Kate and Dr Aboaba talked about 

• Food addiction and disordered eating alongside ADHD and menopause. 
• The subconscious mind and body around food, binge eating, dopamine, depletion, unhealthy relationships with food, craving, shame, regret, guilt, self-esteem and self-compassion around food disorders. 
• The connection between alcohol addiction or food addiction and ADHD
• The power of rituals as an anchor, using micro-moments of dopamine. 
• The Stop technique to help our stress response to food
• The power of accountability and a buddy system
• Working with and not against ourselves

Sleepy People are a sanctuary of sleep offering a carefully selected edit of bedtime must-haves, handpicked with relaxation in mind, from best-loved brands like Silentnight, Sealy, Jeff Banks, and Snug. They know how

Dr. Nadine Burke Harris’s pioneering work on how childhood trauma shapes adult outcomes led to her being named the first surgeon general of California. That was in 2019. And then, of course, the novel coronavirus hit. The job of California’s surgeon general in 2020 was not what it was in 2019. But in some ways, Burke Harris’s expertise was more necessary than ever.

This conversation is about the growing evidence that difficult experiences we face as children reverberate in our lives decades later. It’s profound research that should reshape how we think about social insurance, public morality and criminal justice. But it’s also a conversation about what the coronavirus has done to children — whether this year will be a trauma that marks a generation, and remakes their lives. How has it changed socialization for toddlers — like my 2-year-old son? What has it meant for children who can’t go to school, who watched their parents lose work or who had family members die alone in a hospital? How do we help them? How do we even understand what they’ve gone through, particularly when they can’t tell us?

We also discuss the lessons California learned from the early difficulties in its vaccine rollout (“simplicity saves lives,” Burke Harris says), why we need to be investing a lot more in mental health therapeutics, the debate over universal child allowances, how to address racial and income disparities in vaccine distribution, the drivers of vaccine hesitancy in Black and brown communities, what a safe path to post-pandemic reopening would look like, why Covid-19 cases have been declining across the country, and much more.

This is one of those conversations that will leave you looking at vast swaths of public policy differently. Don’t miss it.
