Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya talks emotional eating on ‘Food For Thought’, a podcast by Rhiannon Lambert

Nightingale Hospital consultant psychiatrist Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya has been interviewed on the ‘Food For Thought’ podcast, led by nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert.

“Anyone will tell you that hunger is just one of so many reasons that we eat and those with a tendency of emotional eating is especially vulnerable to making poor diet choices. If you’re an emotional eater, you may find yourself eating to deal with uncomfortable emotions, using food as a reward when you’re happy, and craving sweets or unhealthy snacks when stressed. Don’t worry – you’re not alone! This week’s Food For Thought sees psychiatrist Dr Chi Chi Obuaya and I unearth how we can gain back control of eating and understand how to stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame and restriction.” – Food For Thought podcast
