We often think weight loss and body image are about changing the body. But for many people, the struggle with weight is really about something else entirely.


In this episode, Dr. Meyers explores what sits beneath the struggle with weight and body image: the quiet emotional experiences that often go unnamed: not feeling enough, not feeling seen, carrying shame, or trying to gain a sense of control. She explores the connections between self-worth, emotional eating, perfectionism and the number on the scale, and why changing the body doesn't always change how we feel about ourselves. Sometimes the body becomes the place where deeper emotional pain is expressed. And if that’s true, then the question is no longer just “how do I lose weight?” But “what am I really carrying?"
