Ep.48 Decode Your Cravings: What Food Is Really Trying to Tell You with Christie Caggiani, RDN

In this episode of The Bonded Podcast, Dr. Patty and Lizzie sit down with someone who has been woven into the fabric of their lives for years — Christie Caggiani, registered dietitian, intuitive eating coach, and someone Dr. Patty calls one of her greatest professional partners and biggest inspirations. This conversation goes far deeper than food. Because cravings are not a character flaw, a lack of willpower, or something to be conquered. They are messages and once you learn to decode them, everything changes.

Episode Highlights:

• The biological and physiological layers of cravings — how sleep deprivation, dehydration, hormonal cycles, and missing nutrients all speak through the same voice, and how to start telling them apart.
• Why you might crave carbs even when you've eaten and what your body is actually asking for when it does.
• The attachment connection: how our earliest experiences of being fed, soothed, and nourished as infants quietly shape our relationship with food for decades.
• Rebuilding trust with your body is not a quick fix; it is a practice of slowing down, getting curious, and giving yourself permission to simply eat.

If this episode resonated, share it with someone who has been fighting their cravings for years or a new parent who wants to pass on a healthy relationship with food to their kids. The healing can start here.
