88: Emotional Eating & Hormone Health with Carlee Nussbaum

In this episode, we get to talk with Carlee Nussbaum, a certified nutrition health coach. She tells us about struggling with anxiety from an early age, and how healing herself from emotional eating also got her into coaching people to overcome it. She also gave some tips on how to have a good relationship with food, how to keep our hormones healthy and balanced, and how we should add or eliminate certain foods based on what’s best for our own health. [4:56] Constant Cycle “As young as I can remember, and my parents can remember, I struggle with insecurities, weight struggle, social anxiety… It was bad, and I completely lost myself, and it’s interesting because now, it’s the best thing that happened to me.” [11:27] Healing Yourself “If anyone out there is wondering if you should get help, get it from as many people as you can because it’s life changing.” [16:03] Nobody’s Perfect “I think that’s so important for everyone out there to know too, that all of those people in social media that you see that acts like they’re completely healed, they’re not and they’re just not showing it.“ [18:13] Eating Disorder vs. Disordered Eating “During that time, I had lost my period, my hair was thinning out completely. It was also when I was extremely depressed; that was impacting it.” [24:59] Symptoms “It got to the point where it was like I didn’t look healthy…Instead of shooting for the smaller version of yourself, shoot for the healthier version of yourself.” [29:17] Wedding Weight “We always say like ‘Thick and thin; I love you thick and thin.’” [37:38] Healthy Hormones “Hormones are crazy, they take over you.” [44:40] The Right Food for YOUR Diet “It’s interesting but it’s just crazy how certain foods can do that to you, like foods can just control and help so much which is an amazing thing… there could be a food that you’re eating that’s making you not focus that much.” [51:17] Healthier Options “Make things that are still gonna make you feel good, but not restrict yourself, because restricting yourself isn’t the way to go.” [56:16] Comfort Food “Figure out what those triggers are… You don’t realize it, but there’s a reason why you’re going to the pantry three times…I think we just lean on food because it’s comforting.” [1:01:04] Being Good Enough “No matter how much you work on it, I’ll be totally honest, there’s still days when i’m like ‘is this what I should be doing?’ if I’m self-conscious about it… but everyone has their own timeline too.” [1:08:02] Consistency “Some pressure’s good, but I think it’s really important to take that step back.”   Follow Carlee on instagram @clarifywellness Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!  Connect with Kelly here: Follow Me on Instagram at @chaselifewithkelly Follow Me on TikTok at @iamkellychase Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Join the ChaseLife with Kelly community!
