239. How to Turn Down Food Noise Without Turning Off Your Hunger Cues

Food noise doesn't come from one volume knob. It comes from three separate channels: body, brain, and self-policing.  And you can't turn any of them down until you know which ones are too loud, or not loud enough.What if the way you've been trying to quiet your food noise (like with willpower, distraction, or telling yourself to just stop), is the exact reason it keeps coming back louder?In today's episode, Brittany continues the food noise conversation she started in episode 238, breaking down why most "quiet your food noise" advice fails: It treats every food thought like it's coming from the same source. She walks through the three distinct channels food noise can come from, how to tell which one is running too hot for you specifically, and where to start turning the mix back to something livable.A few things you can expect to hear in this episode include…🎚️ Why silencing food thoughts tends to make them louder, and how to adjust their volume using a “soundboard” 🧠 The 3 different "channels" food noise can come from, and why they all need different fixes 🍽️ How to tell which channel is too loud for you, with specific signs for each one 🎛️ Simple starting points for turning each channel back to a healthy volume 🙋🏻‍♀️ The self-judgment habit that's actually its own separate channel, not just "extra" food noiseResources mentioned:> Episode 238: Why You Still Think About Food All Day, Even When You’re Trying Not To> Episode 204: “I’m Not Sick Enough to Need Help”: The Hidden Medical Consequences of Under-Eating with Tanna Vayon, PA-C> Click here to order your first bag of Larry's Coffee and get a free set of handwoven Peruvian coasters with your order.> Subscribe to Brittany's personal newsletter, The Full Plate Press, for 2x/month food freedom tips, funny memes, and personal stories from behind-the-scenes shenanigans to mom life craziness to personal lessons you can apply to your food freedom journey and some fun BONUS resources to help you along the way!> Get on the waitlist to be among the first to be notified when we re-open the doors to The Joy-Filled Eater Course.
