Hi!! I would love to hear from you!

What if the weight you're trying to lose isn't just physical?

For highly sensitive women—roughly 20-25% of the population—traditional diet approaches often fail because they don't address the deeper patterns connecting sensitivity, emotional regulation, and body image. In this illuminating conversation with holistic weight loss expert Ellouise Heather, we explore the unique challenges highly sensitive women face in their relationship with food and their bodies.

Ellouise reveals how being highly sensitive means you not only experience emotions more intensely but also absorb external messages about your body more deeply. This heightened awareness often leads to distorted body perception and using food as an emotional regulation tool. Rather than seeing these patterns as personal failings, Ellouise offers a compassionate framework for understanding them as natural responses to overwhelm.

Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss the connections between neurodivergence, sensitivity, and eating patterns. Many women with ADHD or other neurodivergent traits experience more pronounced struggles with emotional eating due to dopamine-seeking behaviors and challenges with impulse control—yet these connections are rarely discussed in mainstream weight loss conversations.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is Ellouise’s practical wisdom. She shares actionable strategies for breaking cycles of shame and self-criticism, including blood sugar regulation techniques that stabilize mood and reduce emotional eating urges. But perhaps most powerful is her approach to addressing the "invisible weight" of perfectionism and external expectations that many women carry.

Whether you identify as highly sensitive or simply want to develop a more peaceful relationship with food and your body, this conversation offers a refreshing alternative to diet culture's punishment-based approach.
