Craving chocolate or chips? Your body might be sending you an important message—not just testing your willpower.

In this thought-provoking episode of Chronic Conversations, host Katherine Rose sits down with Gina Worful, a Registered Dietitian and founder of the Mastering Mindfulness Institute, to uncover what’s really going on behind autoimmune symptoms, emotional eating, and our disconnected relationship with the body.

Gina shares how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious beliefs silently drive our daily habits—and how reconnecting with the body through mindfulness can open the door to true healing.

This episode isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about becoming more aware, compassionate, and curious with ourselves—because real health begins from the inside out.
