What Am I Modeling with Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD
Here's the uncomfortable truth: You're modeling something through your behavior every single day, whether you realize it or not. The question that will change everything: What am I modeling?
I'm Dr. Tricia Pingel NMD, a naturopathic physician with an unusual background - I started working as a professional fashion model when I was 9 months old. Between modeling and medicine, I learned to look perfect while completely losing myself in the process.
When my mom died after a 9-month cancer battle, I realized my boys had been watching me their entire lives, learning that pushing through no matter what was the only way to live. That's when I found my way back to myself through hip hop dance and discovered the power of authentic living.
This show is for anyone tired of looking successful on the outside while barely holding it together on the inside.You'll hear my messy transformation stories, raw conversations with people who've stopped performing and started actually living, medical insights on stress and why your body keeps the score, real talk about surviving high-pressure work environments, and permission-giving moments that make you feel less alone.
This is your permission slip to stop modeling burnout and start curating joy.
New episodes every Tuesday.

Welcome back to What Am I Modeling! Today I'm joined by Tricia Nelson, bestselling author of “Heal Your Hunger”, an emotional eating expert who lost 50 pounds over 30 years ago—and kept it off by healing the emotions driving her to food.
In this conversation, we explore:
✨ Why emotional eating is tied to deeper emotional issues—not willpower
✨ The hidden connection between people-pleasing and food addiction
✨ How family dynamics and childhood trauma shape our relationship with food
✨ What "garbage eating" taught Tricia about shame and recovery
✨ Why understanding sugar addiction is crucial for breaking the cycle
✨ The 24 personality traits of emotional eaters (people-pleasing is #1)
✨ How to replace unhealthy coping mechanisms with self-care that actually works
Tricia Nelson has helped thousands break free from the dieting roller coaster by addressing what's really eating them. From her own 50-pound weight gain and binge eating struggles to becoming a sought-after expert with a TEDx talk approaching 3 million views, Tricia knows the hell of chronic dieting—and the freedom of finally being neutral around food.
Whether you're tired of the scale controlling your mood, sick of feeling isolated in your struggles, or ready to stop modeling disordered eating for the next generation, this conversation offers a completely different path forward. This isn't about another meal plan. This is about healing your living problem to heal your eating problem.
"Food and weight are a symptom. Overweight is a symptom of overeating, and overeating is a symptom of what's eating me." — Tricia Nelson
