Nutrition Support for Emotional Eating

End stress and emotional eating patterns with supportive nutrition coaching from Sudbury dietitian Melissa Fortier, RD.

Stress, boredom, loneliness and overwhelm can trigger emotional eating as a form of coping.


Turning to food for comfort in the long run leads to:

  • Mood, energy and self-esteem suffer as a result


Developing a positive relationship between food and self requires the resolution of emotional eating.
