235. Changing Long-Term Food Habits When Other People Are Involved

Growing up, many of us might have developed certain eating habits because they were part of our family’s way of connecting. It’s interesting how our brain makes these associations, believing that the food itself is the source of the bond. But what if we could change this perception and develop healthier habits without losing those precious connections?

In this episode, I explore the idea that while our brains might think food is central to our connections, it’s actually the act of sharing time together that matters most. Changing food habits might feel uncomfortable at first, especially if it disrupts a routine shared with a partner or family. But if you follow the approaches I outline in this episode, you’ll discover how to build a healthier relationship with food and, ultimately, a more fulfilling connection with those around you. 

Tune in to learn practical steps to overcome the challenge of changing food-related habits while maintaining strong connections with your loved ones. We’ll cover how to explain your intentions to your partner, handle their reactions, and foster connection in new ways.
