Eating Habits for Life

Kate Johnston

Eating Habits for Life is for women who have it together everywhere else, but struggle with food, eating habits, and weight. You’re disciplined and successful at work. You manage a demanding schedule. You’re capable of following through on the things that matter to you. But when it comes to food, it feels frustratingly hard. Maybe you struggle with emotional eating, stress eating, overeating, binge eating, mindless eating, cravings, or eating when you’re not physically hungry. Maybe you know what’s healthy and understand portion control, but still find yourself stuck in the cycle of “starting over Monday.” You want to build healthy eating habits and a calm, sustainable relationship with food that supports the life and body you want. And you can. Hosted by Kate Johnston, a former Physician Assistant of 15 years and now an Eating Habits & Weight Loss Coach, Eating Habits for Life explores what’s really driving your eating habits and why knowledge, willpower, and knowing what to eat aren’t always enough to change them. You’ll learn how mindset, emotions, stress, perfectionism, your nervous system, and deeply ingrained habits can influence cravings, emotional eating, overeating, and weight loss struggles, along with practical, science-backed ways to change those patterns at the root. You’ll learn: ✔️ What’s really driving emotional eating, stress eating, cravings, overeating, and mindless eating ✔️ How to stop blaming yourself for struggling with food ✔️ How to build consistent, sustainable eating habits without relying on willpower ✔️ How to change the patterns that make weight loss harder ✔️ How to manage emotions and stress without automatically turning to food ✔️ Mindset and behavioral science tools that make healthy eating easier to sustain ✔️ Why restriction, calorie counting, and an all-or-nothing approach can keep you stuck ✔️ How to create a healthier relationship with food while working toward sustainable weight loss Each week, you’ll get practical tools and a deeper understanding of why you eat the way you do, so you can stop feeling out of control around food, build eating habits that actually fit your life, and work toward sustainable weight loss without constantly starting over. If you have it together everywhere else but food feels harder than it should, you’re in the right place. 🎧 New episodes weekly.
