5. Uncovering the Root Causes of Emotional Eating: A Journey to Food Freedom with Jillian Acosta

Morgan Tedeschi Episode 5

Join us for this week's episode featuring Functional Dietitian & Nutritionist, Jillian Acosta. As a ‘Psychology of Eating’ expert and creator of The Root Cause Method, Jillian empowers individuals to heal from within and create peace with food once and for all. In this candid conversation, Jillian shares her personal journey, including her struggles with an eating disorder, severe GI issues and hypothyroidism. She reveals how these challenges led her to uncover the root cause of her mental and physical illnesses—unresolved trauma stored in the body. Jillian dives deep into the emotional underpinnings of eating behaviors and offers insights into the steps necessary for creating true freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How the body buries emotions as a survival mechanism, leading to unhealthy relationships with food
  • Strategies for building the capacity to feel and release patterns that no longer serve you
  • The role of the mother wound in emotional eating
  • Why our relationship with food reflects deeper imbalances within ourselves and how to heal them 
  • Practical steps to help combat binge eating that you can start today
