EP#432: THIS IS Why Most High Achievers Struggle with Food ft. Farshad Sarrafi

You're competent everywhere else. Work, money, your family, the things that take discipline and follow through. Then it comes to food and your body and none of that seems to apply. This episode is about why that happens, and it isn't a willpower problem.Farshad Sarrafi is back for a third conversation. He spent years around NBA and NFL athletes and high level executives, and the thing the best ones had in common wasn't more drive. It was that they knew how to stop. We get into what your stress/binge eating is actually pointing at, where "I'm not good enough" comes from, and how to let an emotion move through you instead of eating over it.What we cover:- Why you can run a business but can't seem to run your own eating- The habit Farshad saw in the highest performers that nobody talks about- What your stress eating and 11pm snacking are actually telling you- Why the story you think is driving you usually isn't the real one- What to do when you slow down and nothing seems to change- How to feel an emotion all the way through instead of eating over itConnect with Farshad:‣ X: https://x.com/FarSarrafi‣ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farsarrafi/‣ Out Of Office: https://www.instagram.com/outofofficetheexperience/00:00 - "The biggest gap is the ability to do nothing"(01:05) - Who Farshad is, and why he's back on again(04:00) - Why you win everywhere except with food(08:05) - "All I do is work."
