About this episode
Joshua Hills joins Karl O Rourke to discuss the psychology behind eating and the confusion surrounding food in modern society.
In this episode, I’m joined by Joshua Hills to talk about the deeper psychology behind the way we eat — and why so many people feel more confused, anxious, and disconnected from food than ever. We get into: why Joshua felt this book needed to exist how his personal story shaped the work he does today why so much nutrition advice online is making people worse, not better what food freedom actually means how food anxiety often gets disguised as “discipline” why guilt, restriction, and all-or-nothing thinking keep people stuck and what a healthier, more realistic relationship with food actually looks like This isn’t a conversation about perfect eating. It’s a conversation about peace, permission, and unlearning the fear around food
