In this episode, Janet and Dr. Jan discuss the concept of emotional exercise and how it can be used to reduce emotional eating.

They explore the definition of emotions and the negative connotations associated with them. They also discuss the impact of the food industry on emotional eating and the importance of mindful eating.

The conversation then shifts to the principles of exercise science and how they can be applied to create a more mindful and responsive approach to exercise. They emphasize the importance of gradual progression, individuality, and specificity in exercise.

The episode concludes with a discussion on the benefits of awareness and choice in creating a healthier relationship with food and exercise.

Using mindful movement as a tool to address emotional eating is a powerful approach. Mindful exercise allows individuals to connect with their bodies, process emotions, and treat the root causes of emotional eating.

By using exercise as a form of self-care and understanding how the body is designed to move, individuals can make choices that promote well-being. This approach combines movement science, motivation science, and mindfulness to create a holistic and personalized approach to exercise and emotional eating. It helps individuals become more aware of their emotions, make conscious choices, and find balance in their physical and emotional well-being.
