@Hungry2Thrive - Joy Yamamoto Braiotta - Clinical Psychologist and Food Psychology Coach in San Diego, CA. Joy explains the power of exercise, and how to best handle moments when we eat to suppress our emotions. Joy talks about she used to be an emotional eater, but learned techniques in her psychology master's degree on how to cope. She strongly believes that being healthy isn't about counting calories, or forcing yourself to eat a bland diet to lose weight. She encourages her clients to "discover what is making you hungry to thrive." I talk with Joy about how I enjoy going to the gym, but I struggle with my diet. My achilles heal: Taco Bell's cruchwrap supreme. I must admit, after many long testing sessions, I typically find myself in the drive thru, ordering my favorite combo of tacos. This conversation taught me to not feel so guilty, but figure out how to not be such an emotional eater!
