Eating when you’re not hungry? Book a free consultation call with Robert Sikes to break through your keto or low-carb plateau: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/callFood can quiet the noise in your head without fixing what hurts. In Episode 926 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes talks with psychologist Dr. Adi Jaffe to explore emotional eating, binge eating, and the habits we learn as kids. Adi explains why wanting to change is not enough when old patterns still guide your actions. His five-step model shows how the meaning you give an event shapes your feelings, actions, and results. Food and nonstop work can offer a brief escape, but the pain beneath them still needs attention. Learn why the same urges keep returning and how to start seeing the pattern before you repeat it.Follow Jeff on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dradijaffe/Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters0:00 - Food Addiction and Adi Jaffe’s Recovery Story2:21 - Why We Use Food to Feel Better4:02 - How Childhood Shapes Your Eating Habits8:35 - Why Breaking Old Patterns Feels Unsafe13:14 - Social Comparison, Shame and Feeling Behind17:48 - How Fatherhood Changed the Meaning of Success19:57 - Using Food and Work to Escape Emotional Pain22:32 - Facing Pain and Taking Ownership26:24 - The Five-Step Loop Behind Your Reactions33:14 - What You Can and Can’t Control35:41 - When Success Becomes an Addiction38:27 - The 10-Year Test for Making a Change41:45 - Entrepreneurship, Autonomy and Fulfillment47:17 - Growth Mindset and the Success Trap49:42 - Putting the Work Into Yourself51:54 - Finding Purpose Through Relationships and Service56:22 - Unhooked, SPARx and Where to Find Adi
