<p>In this episode Kyla explores how anxiety and overthinking commonly affect our eating—either shutting down appetite or triggering comfort-eating—and why these responses are not a moral failing but a nervous system reaction.</p>
<p>She shares practical steps: notice and track your patterns and triggers, calm your body before eating (breathing, a warm drink, a walk), and create space between feeling and reacting. Kyla teaches a simple, but powerful thought-distancing exercise—turn “I’m anxious” into “I’m having the thought that I’m anxious”—to reduce reactivity and build curiosity.</p>
