Episode 124: Why willpower disappears at night: Ending evening bingeing from a nervous system lens
Have you ever told yourself, “I just need more willpower to stop overeating at night.”? Well, I hate to break it to you, but you don’t need more willpower. What you actually need is more nervous system capacity so you can access the willpower you already have! In today’s episode I’m breaking down willpower from a nervous system lens and explaining how you can permanently break the pattern of spiraling out of control at night with food.
I discuss…
• The myth that you need “more willpower” to stop overeating • How your willpower access changes depending on your nervous system state • What is your nervous system capacity • Why you don’t binge in the mornings The nervous system state shift that happens at night and triggers binges • How to grow your nervous system capacity • How to access more willpower
