Tennie McCarty on Tackling Food Addiction and Emotional Eating

If it didn't make us feel better, we wouldn't keep doing it.
Ever feel like food has a grip on your life? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Tennie McCarty, a licensed alcohol and drug abuse professional, to unpack the complexities of compulsive overeating and food addiction. Tennie dives into how food can be as addictive as alcohol for some people, providing comfort and control in ways that are often misunderstood.
She also touches on anorexia, explaining how restrictive eating can give a false sense of power. Throughout their conversation, Tennie emphasizes the importance of seeing eating disorders as genuine diseases that deserve empathy and proper treatment. They discuss various treatment options, including non-profit centers, aiming to educate listeners on the paths to recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with food-related issues or supporting someone who is.
It's an enlightening and compassionate look at how emotional connections to food can shape our lives.
