Emotional Eating: How to Use Food to Manage Your Emotions so They Don’t Manage Your Eating with Dr. Nina Frusztajer

Do you reach for chips when you’re overwhelmed by a task on your computer? Reach for ice cream at the end of a long day because you crave a reward? Nibble on candy, nuts, and other goodies you’ve found in your pantry when bored? These common tendencies can derail your well laid-out plans to follow healthy eating habits. Join Nina Frusztajer, MD, MS for an interactive discussion to understand the connection between food and emotions and how to embrace your emotions AND feel in charge of your eating.

Open to clients, caregivers and bereaved members.  Free program with optional donations accepted.  This program will meet on zoom.
