What kinds of things run through your head when you eat? Are you counting calories? Telling yourself you’re having good or bad food? Rewarding a good day or punishing a bad? Or maybe it’s a special meal we are enjoying with a loved one. We have all kinds of food noise running through our head. If you aren’t familiar with the term food noise or are familiar with a food story, then you are going to feel so enlightened today.

Elise Museles joins us today to break down all this and more. We dig into food story, food noise, what happens when we are stressed when we eat, and she gives us easy, applicable tools to rewrite the way we eat, think and live.

Elise is the author of Food Story: Rewrite the way you eat, think and live. She is an attorney-turned eating psychology and nutrition expert and has been featured in major publications, including The New York Times’ best-selling book Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, The Naughty Diet, and Real Fit Kitchen. Elise is also the host of Once Upon a Food Story Podcast.
