Have you ever eaten a cookie, a handful of potato chips, or just helped yourself to a second serving and later regretted it? According to Dr. Susan Albers, this makes sense. “We tend to make a decision seven seconds before we are even aware of it”, Albers explained. Her latest book, Eat.Q., will help you to steer that seven seconds it a good direction. For over a decade, Albers noted, “I have been inspired watching my clients take charge of their emotions and their eating habits. That’s why I am excited to bring people my new book, Eat.Q., the next step in developing the most important tool in overcoming emotional eating – your food smarts. Eat.Q. is based on the concept of emotional intelligence (and provides) 25 new practical, scientifically-based mindful eating tools (which) will help you keep cravings in check, conquer stress eating, and overcome counterproductive behaviors that have tripped you up in the past.” After graduating from Stow High School in 1993, Albers continued her education at The College of Wooster majoring in psychology, which she felt prepared her well for graduate work at the University of Denver where she received her MA and PsyD. An internship at the University of Notre Dame and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Stanford University, gave Albers the credentials she needed ten years ago to join the Cleveland Clinic Family Healthy Center in Wooster as a clinical psychologist. Albers, whose married name is Albers Bowling, has published 6 books to date with “50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food” being the most popular. An international lecturer on mindful eating, Albers has appeared on television and has been cited in numerous magazines including, Self, Prevention, and Health. Author of bestselling “The Hormone Cure”, Sara Gottfried, MD introduces Albers book by stating, “Eat.Q. goes beyond traditional diet books to explore the link between emotions and eating, revealing how, when you increase your Emotional Intelligence, you naturally increase your ability to successfully manage your weight. Explaining the link between a high Eat.Q. and a good relationship with food, Albers guides you through the most common emotional barriers to healthy and mindful eating….” Internationally recognized author Christiane Northrup, MD, said, “At last – a book on eating well that puts everything you need to know in one place.” Eat.Q. is published by HarperOne and although the title release date is October 8, the book can be pre-ordered now through Amazon.com, where it is described as “a revolutionary new way of eating better and feeling great about your body that will release you from the craziness of yo-yo dieting once and for all.” Additional information can be found on Alber’s website, eatq.com, but an example of one easy tip includes: “Try using your non-dominant hand to eat. A recent study showed that this strategy can reduce your eating by 30%. This action breaks up the automatic hand to mouth flow. You have to think about each bite similar to writing with your opposite hand.” Albers can sometimes be found mindfully eating at one of her two favorite restaurants - The Spoon Market in Wooster and The Rail in Fairlawn, keeping in mind her newest book’s strategies that can work for anyone by creating happier, healthier, smarter, and easier eating habits.
