Description
Emotional Eats is a podcast for women over 40 who are done with diet culture, fear-based health advice, and conflicting messages about their bodies.
Hosted by nutritional health coach Kim Hynes, this show cuts through the noise around food, hormones, weight changes, emotional eating, and midlife health using real science, real conversations, and a whole lot of common sense.
You'll hear expert insights from doctors, nutrition professionals, fitness experts, and mental health practitioners, along with honest discussions about what actually works for the midlife body and what does not. No extremes. No shame. No quick fixes.
This podcast is not just about menopause or weight loss. It is about understanding your changing body, regulating stress, healing your relationship with food, and feeling strong, confident, and at home in yourself again.
If you want clarity instead of confusion, truth instead of trends, and support without judgment, you're in the right place. See you on the inside!
