Mon Jan 26 2026
What do ghrelin, cortisol, insulin, and female sex hormones all have in common? In this episode, you’ll discover the fascinating relationship between your emotions, hormones, and eating patterns—and how understanding this connection can open the door to true healing and freedom.
Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, with 12 years experience helping high achieving women create a level of body confidence, intuition and optimal health through powerful mindset healing, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food.
Having personally overcome a long battle with emotional eating—including gaining and losing over 1,000 pounds, spending more than $50,000 on binge foods, and dedicating five years to restoring her hormones and digestion—Amber has intimately dismantled the limiting beliefs and patterns that once kept her stuck. Today, she empowers others to experience life-changing breakthroughs and achieve what she calls “Body Freedom™”—the confidence, health, and vitality to create amazing lives.
