Stress and Eating Behaviour with Dr. Kylie Mosely

Understanding Body Matters Podcast

On this weeks episode I am thrilled to be bringing back our much loved guest and psychologist here at BodyMatters Australasia, Dr. Kylie Mosely. Kylie has obtained an Honours as well as Masters degree in psychology, conducting a subsequent PhD in research focused on the social, cognitive, and emotional triggers of overeating. With over 14 years’ experience as a psychologist Kylie has practiced all across the world including working as a psychologist in Australia, Singapore, and England. Where most recently Kylie held a position of Associate Professor where she unpacked effective tools of management used to cope with experiences associated with health conditions. This is where Kylie is passionate about all things mental health, physical health and experiences with disordered eating. With a deep interest in all things to do with the human body and how we understand ourselves from all different perspectives.

This is why on this weeks episode I am so excited to be speaking about the topic of stress and eating behaviour. As stress is something as humans we all experience however, being able to recognise it and respond to it in a healthy way is something we may not. To be able to better recognise it, respond to it and find our own ways of managing life, living in a world full of endless changes. So please enjoy our lovely guest and the ways she discusses the links between stress and eating behaviour.
