Exhaustion Urges: When Your Brain Is at 12%
About this episode
This episode discusses exhaustion urges and strategies to manage them before they lead to binge eating.
In this episode, we’re talking about exhaustion urges : urges to binge, graze, order food, snack compulsively, or keep eating when your system is depleted and food starts to look like the fastest available relief. Instead of focusing mostly on what to do once you’re already too exhausted to care, we’re moving upstream. Exhaustion urges often start earlier than the urge itself, when your battery is being drained by skipped breaks, overpacked schedules, under-planned recovery, travel, big events, and pushing through when you are already under-resourced. You’ll learn how to use the Battery Check, why breaks work best before you desperately need them, how to tell growth discomfort from depletion, why rescheduling can be a recovery skill, and how to use the simple in-the-moment tool Get Horizontal when you’re already below 20%.
