Feeling trapped and overwhelmed during lockdown? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of RAW CHATTER!, Vicky Midwood, known as The Addiction Eliminator, dives into the emotional roller coaster many of us have been riding since the pandemic began. With a blend of personal experience and scientific insight, Vicky explains why trying to 'stay positive' all the time is not only unrealistic but can also be counterproductive.
She sheds light on how stress and isolation can push us towards unhealthy coping mechanisms like excessive drinking or binge eating, and reassures us that these reactions are completely normal given the circumstances. Vicky's candid discussion touches on the gut-brain connection, illustrating how our emotional state influences our eating habits and vice versa. She offers practical advice on making healthier choices, such as moderating alcohol intake and avoiding foods that can trigger negative emotions.
Throughout the episode, Vicky maintains a supportive and non-judgmental tone, reminding listeners that it's okay to feel down and that everyone is doing their best in these tough times. Her message is clear: by understanding the root causes of our behaviors, we can take steps towards better mental and physical health.
