Welcome to Untangle. I'm Patricia Carpice. Today's guest is Amber Romanoch, an expert in emotional and binge eating, digestive issues, and hormones. Over the last several years, she's helped thousands of women overcome their own eating challenges, calm digestion, lose weight, and balance

their hormones. So they're happier, healthier, and can be more productive in their own lives.

In this interview, she says, many of us have a story about our relationship with food, and she

shares how she used food as a coping mechanism in her 20s and how she had to hit

rock bottom before recovering from her own binge eating behaviors. Often we're not even aware that we have a

problem or what it is that's triggering us until it becomes serious. She discusses how we can be more

aware of our triggers, change how we

perceive our bodies, notice the negative self-talk that can become our background chatter,

and how all of this impacts our relationship with food. Lots of interesting stuff here.

20s. And I think everyone has a story with our relationship with food and for me it was something

that growing up I always had a unconscious emotional eating relationship and always viewed food

as a friend and it tasted good and made me feel good it was a comfort sometimes we have these

key life-changing moments that really shape our

relationship with food in our body. And for me, two of those key moments were when I was five,
