What if you’re not actually hungry? What if it’s something else?
Many times, what feels like hunger is actually stress. When we’re overwhelmed or afraid, our bodies release cortisol — a fight-or-flight hormone that can increase cravings and even signal the body to store fat. That means stress eating isn’t just about willpower… there’s a physical and emotional response happening.
In this video, we talk about how stress affects the body, why it can drive overeating, and how learning to truly turn our lives and our cares over to God can bring the peace that helps reduce both stress and the urge to use food for comfort.
If you struggle with stress eating, emotional eating, or feeling out of control around food, you’re not alone — and there is hope.
