Breaking Free from Food Drama with Dr. Melissa McCreery If food thoughts run your life or your hunger cues feel completely off, especially with thyroid or hormone issues, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Melissa McCreery, psychologist, emotional eating expert, and host of Too Much on Her Plate, to uncover the real reasons behind overeating and why “eat less, move more” is a failed strategy. We talk about how stress, poor sleep, food deprivation, and lack of real self-care drive food struggles, and how to identify your unique “hidden hungers” so you can stop the binge, restrict, guilt cycle. Dr. Melissa also shares her take on perfectionism, GLP-1s, and why one-size-fits-all meal plans and willpower don’t work. If you’re ready to quiet the food chatter and finally feel in control, this episode gives you practical steps and tools you can start using today. Connect with Dr.
