What if your cravings aren’t a lack of willpower, but your body trying to tell you something?

This week, Chrissy sits down with somatic therapist, trauma educator, nutritionist, and Food Therapy author Luis Mojica for a deeply personal conversation about the connection between food, trauma, and the nervous system. Luis shares how his own 25 year experience with binge eating ultimately led him to somatic healing and a completely different way of understanding our relationship with food. Together, he and Chrissy unpack why cravings can be adaptive responses to stress, what it actually means to feel safe in your body, and how fear can become attached to food in ways we may not even realize.

Chrissy also opens up about her own relationship with food and anxiety, while Luis offers a new framework for moving beyond “good” and “bad” foods and toward curiosity, body trust, and awareness. They also get into blood sugar, intuitive eating, food noise, GLP 1s, and the simple practice Luis uses to understand what a craving might really be asking for. Because sometimes the question isn’t “Is this food healthy?” It’s “How does my body actually feel?”
