In Episode 926 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes talks with psychologist Dr. Adi Jaffe to explore emotional eating, binge eating, and the habits we learn as kids. Adi explains why wanting to change is not enough when old patterns still guide your actions. His five-step model shows how the meaning you give an event shapes your feelings, actions, and results. Food and nonstop work can offer a brief escape, but the pain beneath them still needs attention. Learn why the same urges keep returning and how to start seeing the pattern before you repeat it.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Jeff on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dradijaffe/</p><p><br></p><p>Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 - Food Addiction and Adi Jaffe’s Recovery Story</p><p>2:21 - Why We Use Food to Feel Better</p><p>4:02 - How Childhood Shapes Your Eating Habits</p><p>8:35 - Why Breaking Old Patterns Feels Unsafe</p><p>13:14 - Social Comparison, Shame and Feeling Behind</p><p>17:48 - How Fatherhood Changed the Meaning of Success</p><p>19:57 - Using Food and Work to Escape Emotional Pain</p><p>22:32 - Facing Pain and Taking Ownership</p><p>26:24 - The Five-Step Loop Behind Your Reactions</p><p>33:14 - What You Can and Can’t Control</p><p>35:41 - When Success Becomes an Addiction</p><p>38:27 - The 10-Year Test for Making a Change</p><p>41:45 - Entrepreneurship, Autonomy and Fulfillment</p><p>47:17 - Growth Mindset and the Success Trap</p><p>49:42 - Putting the Work Into Yourself</p><p>51:54 - Finding Purpose Through Relationships and Service</p><p>56:22 - Unhooked, SPARx and Where to Find Adi</p>
