Uncovering the Root Causes of Autoimmune Disease with Risa Groux | Season 2 | Ep. 155

If you've ever felt out of control around food and couldn't figure out why—this episode is for you.

These two patterns are constantly mislabeled, and that confusion is often exactly why so many women feel stuck in cycles they can't seem to break.‍Nikkiey walks you through what separates the two—from eating to cope with stress or difficult emotions, to reaching for food out of habit or environmental cues that have nothing to do with how you're feeling. She explains why getting this wrong keeps you spinning your wheels, and why getting it right changes everything.‍You'll walk away with a clear framework to identify what's actually driving your eating—and practical strategies to start shifting it, whether that means building emotional awareness, restructuring your environment, or breaking habits running on autopilot.‍If nothing has stuck before, it might not be a willpower problem. It might be a root cause problem—and this episode helps you find it.‍If you liked this video, hit the like and subscribe button so that more videos like this will come your way once we drop them!
