[CPD-CEU] Beyond Cravings: Emotional Eating, Food Addiction, and the Truth About Extreme Fasting

In an era where diet trends come and go with the seasons, the conversation around emotional eating and food addiction has never been more critical. These are not just buzzwords but pivotal issues that stand at the crossroads of mental health and physical well-being.

In this CPD webinar, led by Alex Ruani, Chief Science Educator and UCL Doctoral Researcher, we will critically examine why we eat the way we do. Is it hunger, habit, or emotion driving our dietary choices?

Join us for the LIVE interactive session to delve into the complexities of binge eating and understand the science behind overeating and hunger hormones. Our discussion will span the journey from prolonged food abstinence to the uncontrollable urge to overeat, offering insights into how these patterns affect not only your client’s physical health but their emotional well-being, too.

Here’s an overview of what you’ll discover:

• Beyond emotional eating: Understand the biochemical triggers behind overeating.
• Examine the risks of extreme fasting in relation to appetite hormones, especially its role in overeating drive.
• Discover multifaceted strategies to modulate hunger levels and support a healthier relationship with food.
• Move away from abstention-binging cycles whilst recognising true hunger signals through the body's intricate rebalancing mechanisms
• Discover the application of eating psychology to help clients through our Advanced Clinical Weight Loss Practitioner™ Level 5 Certification

Whether you’re struggling to find balance in your eating habits, interested in the scientific underpinnings of food-related behaviours, or seeking effective strategies to better support your clients or patients, this CPD session will equip you with valuable tools and know-how needed to normalise our relationship with food, from recognising hunger signals to mitigating binge eating risk.
