🎙️ Stress, Snacks & Sanity — Why You Eat Your Feelings & How to Stop the Spiral Artwork

The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast

Welcome to The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast — the show where sweat, sarcasm, and science collide.

I’m Lindsey Petrangelo, APRN, CPT, and founder of InspireWellnessCo — a nurse practitioner with a passion for movement, gut health, hormones, and calling out the wellness industry’s bullshit (with humor, obviously).

This podcast is for those who are sick of quick fixes, sick of confusion, and ready to finally understand their bodies. You’ll get the real talk about health, fitness, gut stuff, hormones, mindset, and all the “taboo” topics no one else wants to say out loud — delivered with equal parts evidence and inappropriateness.

Whether we’re talking about poop, protein, or perimenopause, nothing’s off-limits here.

Expect stories, sarcasm, and strategies you can actually use to feel strong, confident, and human again — because being healthy doesn’t have to be boring, complicated, or perfect.

Grab your coffee, crank the volume, and let’s make getting healthy fun again.

🎙️ Stress, Snacks & Sanity — Why You Eat Your Feelings & How to Stop the Spiral

If you’ve ever gone from “fine” to “feral in the pantry” by 3pm… this episode is for you.

In this slightly inappropriate, brutally honest, and science-backed episode of The Strong, Sweaty & Slightly Inappropriate Podcast, Lindsey breaks down the REAL reasons you stress eat — and spoiler alert: it’s not willpower, it’s not weakness, and it’s definitely not because you “just love snacks.”

It’s biology.
It’s stress.
It’s exhaustion.
It’s under-eating.
It’s life.
And your body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

This episode teaches you how to understand your stress cravings, how to break the evening spiral, and how to actually nourish yourself so November doesn’t chew you up and spit you out like a stale granola bar.

👉 Listen if:

You eat your feelings (same)
You swear you’re “good all day” then unravel at night
You’re tired, stressed, overwhelmed, and snacky
You want REAL strategies that work — not restrictive BS
You want to feel human again before the holidays hit

💥 Coffee & Chaos Tip of the Week:
Feed your body before your feelings take over.
You don’t need more discipline — you need more nourishment.

Why stress eating is NORMAL, not a character flaw
The biology behind cravings + comfort food
