About This Podcast

Eating Habits for Life is a sustainable weight loss and eating habits podcast for women in healthcare who struggle with emotional eating, stress eating, overeating, cravings, and binge eating — especially after long shifts and high-stress days. You’re disciplined and successful at work. Yet when it comes to food, it feels frustratingly hard. You know what’s healthy. You understand portion control. But consistency feels out of reach — leading to shame, weight loss struggles, and starting over on Monday. This is changeable. With a compassionate, science-backed approach that addresses eating habits at the root, you can build a calm, sustainable relationship with food — without relying on willpower, restriction, calorie counting, or tracking. Hosted by Kate Johnston, a former Physician Assistant of 15 years and now an Eating Habits & Weight Loss Coach, this podcast explores why knowledge isn’t enough — and how mindset, emotions, perfectionism, and a dysregulated nervous system quietly drive eating habits. You’ll learn: ✔️ What’s truly driving cravings, emotional eating, and overeating ✔️ How to stop blaming yourself for struggling with food ✔️ Behavioral science-backed tools to build sustainable eating habits and regulate stress ✔️ What makes weight loss harder — and how to stop reinforcing those patterns ✔️ Mindset shifts that help you stay consistent, even with a demanding schedule Each week, you’ll feel more calm, confident, and in control around food — and build eating habits that support sustainable weight loss for life. For support beyond this podcast, you can book a free consult at katemjohnston.com/eat-with-intention It’s simply a space to talk through what’s going on with your eating patterns, uncover your deepest motivators, and see what support could look like for you. 🎧 New episodes weekly. ✨ Subscribe and send to a friend in healthcare who will benefit too. *The content in this podcast and my coaching services are for informational purposes only and do not replace medical advice or consultations with a healthcare or mental health provider.
