Ever find yourself standing in the pantry at 9 p.m., searching for something sweet, salty, or just… something—even if you’re not really hungry? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Mindset and Macros Podcast, we’re diving deep into the topic of cravings—what they actually are, why they feel so intense, and what’s really going on beneath the surface. If you’ve ever given in to a craving and then felt guilt, shame, or frustration afterwards, this one’s for you.

I’ll break down the difference between true physical hunger and emotional cravings, explore the most common triggers for women over 35 (think stress, sleep, hormones, and habit loops), and give you practical tools you can start using today to get ahead of cravings—without relying on willpower or cutting out all your favorite foods.

We’re talking real-life strategies that work with your body and your lifestyle—not against them. And if you’ve been feeling stuck on the diet rollercoaster, always trying to “control” cravings and ending up feeling defeated, this episode will teach you how to take back control of your food choices to lose fat.
