Why We Eat

The newsletter that helps you stop fighting food & start understanding it.

Most nutrition advice tells you what to eat. I help you understand why you eat, so you can finally feel calm, confident, and free around food to become again the best version of yourself.

Let’s make eating well feel easier and maybe even fun.

Every week, you’ll get:

The latest science on nutrition and behaviour
Psychology-backed tips to reduce food guilt
Breakdowns of popular health trends

Understanding the science behind your food choices is the first step towards a healthier life.

As a Public Health Nutrition Professional with a Master's degree, I have been working for the last 10 years in scientific research.Learn Why We Eat is your place to understand the science behind your cravings. It's the foundation I wish I had years ago and now it’s yours for personal growth.

Who Am I To Teach This?

My name is Anna Maria Wittmann.I’m an ex-dieter, mum of three and PhD student with a Master in Public Health Nutrition.

After recovering from my eating disorder, I found myself stuck in a different loop: still overwhelmed, still chasing every “health hack” on social media, just wearing a wellness halo instead of counting calories.While stalking the science over the last 10 years about cravings and hunger in the "weightloss-bubble" I realised:The problem isn’t willpower.
It’s the story we tell ourselves about food.Now I help wellness seekers unlearn trends and reconnect with their bodies using behavioural nutrition, psychology, and a whole lot of compassion.Because understanding your cravings is the first step toward peak performance and becoming the version of ourselves we actually want to be.
