  • Understanding the Three Influences Behind Cravings: Psychological, Hormonal & Habitual

    Understanding the Three Influences Behind Cravings: Psychological, Hormonal & Habitual
    Mar 9 2026

    Cravings aren’t about willpower. They aren’t about “just saying no” or forcing myself to resist. In this episode, I break down the three major influences behind cravings — and I show why understanding them is the key to finally ending unwanted eating patterns.

    Whether you struggle with night-time snacking, sugar binges, or compulsive eating, this episode is for you.

    1. Psychological & Emotional Influences

    I’ve learned that my mind creates cravings in ways I often don’t notice.

    • I recognize my scarcity mindset — feeling “not enough,” whether that’s not thin enough, not fast enough, or not perfect enough.

    • I see how fear and anxiety trigger cravings for comfort and quick energy.

    • I pay attention to the language I use: should, shouldn’t, can’t — they often reinforce scarcity thinking.

    Even joyful moments can trigger cravings if I subconsciously feel undeserving or fear that happiness won’t last. I use hypnotherapy to bring unconscious patterns into awareness so I can consciously choose differently.

    2. Hormonal Influences

    I’ve seen how my hormones drive cravings:

    • Cortisol spikes when my nervous system is in protection mode, increasing cravings for sugar and refined carbs.

    • Insulin stores that blood sugar, creating cycles of hunger and fat storage.

    Understanding this helps me realize it’s biology, not a lack of discipline, that often drives my cravings.

    3. Habitual & Environmental Influences

    Many cravings come from habits I’ve trained into my environment:

    • Eating popcorn on the couch while watching Netflix.

    • Always reaching for dessert after meals.

    When I notice these triggers, I can create new routines that support me without relying on willpower alone.

    4. My Individual Approach

    I know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.Some cravings are mostly emotional, some hormonal, some habitual. I focus on knowing myself, my triggers, and my body so I can make sustainable choices. My Make Peace with Food metabolic blueprint helps me find foods that fuel me and support lasting change.

    5. Shift Your Perspective

    I focus on behavior as the problem, not the weight. Curiosity replaces judgment. Understanding replaces restriction. Compassion replaces guilt. I remind myself: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is insanity. Change starts by observing patterns, understanding triggers, and making intentional next choices.

  • Health, Cravings, and Weight Release Begin in the Mind

    Health, Cravings, and Weight Release Begin in the Mind
    Mar 5 2026

    This episode is for you if you’ve ever struggled with intense cravings, restrictive diets, or the endless cycle of trying to control your weight, only to feel stuck.

    In this episode, I explores a powerful mindset shift: health starts in your mind, not in your diet, exercise, or movement. Every craving, impulse, and ability to release weight begins in your mental landscape.

    1. Health Begins in the Mind I challenges conventional health narratives: it’s not about CrossFit, macros, or strict plans — it’s about your thoughts. Every thought affects body chemistry — hormones, cravings, and fat storage respond to your mind. Scarcity thoughts like “I’m not enough” keep you in protection mode, driving overeating.

    2. Cravings Are Mental First Cravings, subtle or intense, originate in the mind. Willpower alone won’t stop them; addressing thoughts and nervous system patterns does. Permanent change comes from becoming the person who naturally makes healthy choices, not from restriction. Cravings are symptoms, not failures.

    3. Weight Release Follows Mindset Anti-diet approaches focus on behavior, not weight. The mind regulates the nervous system, which affects metabolism. Sustainable weight release happens when your nervous system feels safe. I shares her journey: years of diets and calorie counting caused disordered eating until she focused on mindset.

    4. Scarcity vs. Safety Mindset Thoughts like “I missed my window, so I might as well overeat” keep the body in protection mode. Auditing and choosing safety-focused, self-compassionate thoughts helps your nervous system support healthy behavior naturally.

    5. Beyond Diet Culture Rapid weight-loss promises reinforce shame and scarcity. Real success is centeredness, freedom from cravings, and a stable relationship with food.

    Key Takeaways & Journal Prompts

    • Write this mantra: “Health begins in the mind.”

    • Focus on behavior and nervous system regulation.

    • Trace cravings to thoughts, not failures.

    • Long-term change is identity-driven.

    • Center yourself in safety and sufficiency.

    Journal: Which thoughts make me feel unsafe? How do cravings reflect my nervous system? What mindset shift can create safety? Where can scarcity thinking become abundance thinking?

    I reminds listeners: lasting change comes from retraining your mind, reclaiming your nervous system, and creating safety. When health begins in the mind, everything else aligns.

  • Perfectionism is a Trauma Response with Garrett Wood

    Perfectionism is a Trauma Response with Garrett Wood
    Mar 2 2026
    What if the drive that helped you succeed is the same force slowly burning you out?In this episode, I sit down with hypnotherapist and wellness coach Garrett Wood to explore a truth many high performers quietly live with: chronic stress hidden behind achievement. Garrett, an NBC-HWC, clinical hypnotherapist, executive functioning specialist, and founder of Gnosis Therapy, helps high-achieving leaders break the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout through a nervous-system-first approach.We discuss perfectionism, shame, nervous system overload, and why burnout doesn’t arrive overnight — it builds quietly beneath success.This conversation is for the high achiever, the perfectionist, and the one who appears to have it all together while constantly chasing “enough.”The Hidden Cost of PerformanceGarrett shares how high-performance environments can train us to measure self-worth through output. I deeply relate to the pattern where validation feels earned through achievement and rest feels undeserved. Sleep, health, and relationships often deteriorate quietly while productivity rises.Perfectionism & ShamePerfectionism isn’t about excellence — it’s rooted in beliefs like I am not enough, I am not safe, or I am fundamentally flawed. These beliefs often form early through emotional interpretation rather than explicit messages. Overcompensation can look powerful, but it quietly erodes well-being.Burnout Is ProgressiveBurnout typically moves through stages: driven excitement → sacrificing recovery → wired but exhausted → depletion → shutdown. What feels sudden is often the result of long-ignored signals.Why Self-Care Isn’t Always EnoughWorkouts, meditation, or downtime can regulate stress, but they don’t complete the stress response if emotions remain unprocessed. High achievers often override emotional signals — “fine” becomes the default, even though fine isn’t an emotion. Garrett encourages becoming a “sommelier” of your emotions: identifying, locating, and processing what you feel.Imposter Syndrome & Self-TalkImposter syndrome can be awareness rather than inadequacy. When fear pairs with “I’m not enough,” burnout accelerates. When it pairs with “I’m learning,” resilience grows.What Leads to BurnoutHigh ambition, emotional suppression, identity tied to performance, underlying shame, and lack of stress discharge practices all accumulate. Over time, the nervous system collects its debt.Closing ReflectionThis conversation isn’t about becoming less ambitious.It’s about becoming safer inside your ambition — because achievement without safety becomes self-abandonment.Work with Garrette Wood:Website: www.gnosistherapy.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/wood.garrettInstagram: www.instagram.com/gnosistherapyLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/gnosistherapyWork With Sherry:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!
