Ep 250: PTSD Effects on Weight Issues with Joanne Williams
Manage episode 523428768 series 2891520
Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself?
There's a reason for that — and it's not because you're doing anything wrong.
In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode, I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck on high alert. When our nervous system is constantly bracing for impact, it affects everything from our gut health to our emotional eating patterns — often leaving us with shame, self-blame, and the feeling that we can't trust our own bodies.
If you've ever wondered why you turn to food when stress is high, or why your body sometimes feels like it's working against you, this episode brings both clarity and compassion — plus practical tools you can use right away.
So take a deep breath… and come on in.
In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…
- The 4–8 Breathing Technique — a simple, science-backed way to calm your system in the moment.
- A rapid vagus nerve reset you can use anytime stress spikes.
- Joanne's "Three Brains" framework — gut, heart, and head — and how it helps move you out of reactivity and into conscious choice.
