True Hunger and Emotional Eating with Chris Kendall

Saturday August 15, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT

Most people have never actually felt true hunger, and even fewer have a fully conscious relationship with why they eat when they do. This talk digs into what true hunger actually is, what it isn’t, and how learning to tell the difference can completely transform your relationship with food. We’ll explore emotional eating without judgment, why those patterns exist, how they once served us, and how understanding them becomes a gift rather than a source of shame. Practical, personal, and one of the most liberating conversations you can have on the raw vegan path.
