Have you ever eaten a full meal… and somehow still felt like food was calling your name?

You’re not broken and you’re definitely not lacking willpower. What you’re experiencing might not be hunger at all. In this episode, we’re unpacking the difference between true physical hunger and food noise, why both feel so real, and how learning to tell them apart can completely change your relationship with food.

If you’ve ever felt confused by your cravings, stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle, or guilty for wanting food when you “just ate,” this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• What hunger actually is and how your body communicates it
• Common physical signs of true hunger
• What food noise is and why it feels so loud
• The most common reasons food noise shows up (restriction, blood sugar, stress, habits)
• A simple check-in to help you tell hunger and food noise apart in real time
• How to respond to hunger in a way that builds trust with your body
• How to navigate food noise without guilt, shame, or white-knuckling
• Why understanding this difference leads to fewer cravings and more sustainable habits

Why this matters:

When you treat food noise like hunger, or hunger like a problem, it keeps you stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, and frustration. Learning the difference helps you stop fighting your body and start working with it, creating consistency without burnout.

If you’re ready to feel more calm around food and stop questioning every craving, this episode will give you clarity and relief.
