It Happens at Night

Episode Summary

While this episode title could indicate a conversation about a variety of topics, this week the focus is night time eating. Was it Oprah who told us all not to eat after 7:30pm? Maybe you've heard to drink warm milk to help you fall asleep? It's honestly confusing between all the recommendations we've heard: a full belly helps you fall asleep but eating at night causes weight gain and other health issues. What are we supposed to do? Once again, Jenn is to our rescue. Tackling everything from why night time eating became a health related sin, what causes us to eat at night and, most importantly, what to do about it. Listen now.
