Matty explains that eating disorders and unhealthy food patterns often stem from unresolved emotional experiences, including stress, shame, and even past trauma. In many cases, food becomes a coping mechanism—a way for the brain to regulate difficult emotions or create a sense of control. This is why traditional approaches to gut health, weight loss, and nutrition often fail to create lasting change.
