Why Food & Body Struggles Aren’t Willpower Problems

Sabrina Magnan

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why trying to “just be more disciplined” around food, eating habits, or body image struggles never works for long - and why that’s not a personal failure. It’s actually your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect you.

We’ll explore:

  • What willpower actually is 
  • Why bingeing, overeating, and food obsession are not bad habits - but protective survival patterns
  • The real reason you can’t just “stick to it” when it comes to food
  • What works instead 
  • The difference between pushing through and healing from the root

This episode will shift the way you see your patterns, understand why you're feeling stuck and help you let go of the shame so you can finally start building a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
