Eating Habits for Life

You’re disciplined, successful in your work, and care for everyone else.
Yet when it comes to your eating habits, food feels frustratingly hard.

You already know what's healthy and understand portion control, but can't seem to consistently follow through.

Leading to shame, weight loss struggles, and starting over on Monday.

The good news? This is changeable — with a compassionate, science-backed approach that breaks habits by the root and helps you build a calm, healthy relationship with food.

(One that doesn't rely on willpower, restriction, portion control, calorie-counting or tracking.)

Welcome to Eating Habits for Life, the podcast for women in healthcare who struggle with emotional eating, stress eating, overeating, binge eating, cravings, mindless snacking, or night eating — especially after long shifts, endless emails, heavy patient loads, and stressful meetings.

Hosted by Kate Johnston, a former Physician Assistant of 15 years and Eating Habits & Weight Loss Coach, this show explores why knowledge and willpower aren’t enough...

And how mindset, emotions, perfectionism, and a dysregulated nervous system quietly drive eating habits.

Kate helps women in healthcare work with their brain, body and busy schedule, so food no longer feels difficult, impulsive, or like an ex you can't stop thinking about.

Instead, food feels easier, intentional, energizing, yet peaceful.

In the podcast, you’ll learn:
✔️ What's truly driving cravings, emotional eating, and overeating
✔️ How to stop blaming yourself for struggling with food despite being smart and capable
✔️ Behavioral science-backed tools to build sustainable eating habits that fit busy healthcare schedules
✔️ What to avoid that makes eating habits and weight loss harder
✔️ Science-backed tools to regulate stress and overwhelm (not just manage it)
✔️ Mindset shifts that keep you on track and feeling empowered

By listening each week, you'll feel more calm, confident, and in control around food, trust your body, and build healthy eating habits that actually last... even with a full, demanding life.
