From emotional eating to binge eating, and even the lesser-known night eating syndrome, Philippe covers it all. He explains how our childhood experiences, emotions, and even social situations can influence our eating behaviours. You'll learn about the common triggers like stress, anxiety, and boredom, and why sometimes, a biscuit from mum can lead to lifelong habits.

Philippe's empathetic approach makes it clear: it's not about blaming yourself but understanding your patterns to find healthier ways to cope.
