Q&A16 "I Feel Numb," The Fear of Deleting Calorie Apps & Why You Feel Hungry 24/7

About this episode

The episode explores the challenges of reconnecting with one's body, addressing feelings of numbness, constant hunger, and the relationship with calorie tracking.

In this follow-up to our deep dive on Interoception, we tackle the real-world struggles of reconnecting with your body. We discuss why you might feel "numb" when you try to scan your body, why some people feel hungry 24/7 (and what it really means), and whether you can heal your relationship with food while still tracking calories. Key Questions Answered: What if I do the body scan and feel absolutely nothing? Why does it feel like I’m hungry every waking hour? Do I have to delete MyFitnessPal to learn intuitive eating? How do I find the "stop" signal when I’m used to cleaning my plate? I know it’s anxiety, not hunger—but I still want to eat. Now what? Action Step: Try the "Halftime Pause" . At your next meal, stop eating when your food is half gone. Put the fork down for two minutes. Don’t look at your phone. Just sit. Give your satiety signal time to travel from your gut to your brain.
