OUTWEIGH: Have you ever wondered why your teen seems to reach for snacks—even when they’re not hungry? In this second part of our series, Leanne is back with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to dig into the hidden emotional triggers that push teens toward food for a quick dopamine hit. They look at how stress, loneliness, boredom, and anxiety can morph into cravings that have little to do with actual hunger—and how you, as a parent, can offer them alternatives that truly soothe the root cause.

Natalie and Leanne share brain-based strategies to help teens recognize what they’re really feeling, break the pattern of food-as-comfort, and practice healthier outlets for life’s daily challenges. From teaching emotional awareness to rewiring old coping habits, it’s not about willpower or “just say no.” It’s about giving teens the practical tools they need to handle stress without turning to the pantry. If you’re tired of watching your teen battle silent anxieties that show up in a snack bowl, this episode is a must-listen.
