Tracking food can start as an empowering tool—helping us learn about our habits, stay on track with goals, or simply build awareness. But when does it shift from helpful to harmful? In this episode, we talk about the fine line between mindful tracking and obsessive logging. We explore how food tracking can affect our mental health, hunger cues, and relationship with spontaneity.

We read a letter from Alex, who’s wondering if it might be time to step away from tracking—even though that thought feels scary. Together, we unpack what it means to outgrow certain habits, how to know when tracking has stopped serving you, and ways to move forward with more curiosity and less fear.

Plus, Dr. Katherine joins us to answer big questions about food tracking, disordered eating, and how to find balance in a world that loves measuring everything.
