This one gets personal. I share my story, growing up praised for performance, losing my athletic identity, spiraling into restriction, bingeing, and running myself into the ground. A coach tells me to lose weight, shame follows, and I chase “smaller” at all costs. The shift starts with one yes: a park workout. From there, I rebuilt myself. HIIT opens the door to movement; strength training changes everything. Lifting teaches me to take up space, eat for fuel, and measure progress by power, not a scale. I define what “enough” means on my terms.In this episode of Broads, I break down how mindset questions create momentum, why one decision beats perfection, and what real progress looks like, and spoiler: It's not what you've been told. If you feel stuck, this episode is your sign. Freedom is possible. Start with one yes, and watch every other part of your life follow!What's Discussed:(00:04) The moment I finally share my real story: the messy truth behind the highlight reel(14:32) The breaking point: when discipline was really just fear in disguise(20:51) The yes that changed everything (and why it wasn't about the workout)(28:10) How lifting 250 pounds rewired my brain about worth and confidence(43:56) The one decision that flips everything, from chasing smaller to claiming freedomThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads: Ready to ditch the BS and start feeling strong in your body?

The 9 Top Triggers for Binge Eating Seen Inside the Therapy Room - and how to manage them. Binge eating is not simply scoffing an extra biscuit, with your morning coffee break. Instead, it involves eating fast, an extremely large amount of food (more than you would eat for lunch or dinner). It's usually in secret and can feel like a dissociative or ‘out of body' experience. You are fully present and grounded on earth, but it can feel as though a demon has swept over you and taken all rational decision making away. Binge eating can fleetingly bring euphoria and pleasure. This is short-lived before guilt, shame and self-loathing descend like a dark cloud. Plus, the physical consequences of feeling over-full are deeply unpleasant and sometimes painful. Binge eating can happen across eating disorders and within disordered eating. This means if you have: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) – binges can occur.

Have you ever had the thought 'I don't deserve good things'? This pervasive belief can be subtle, but it's not harmless. Today we are going to explore what's really going on with this belief.When we peel back the layers, we can see that the belief of "deservingness" is rooted in conditional worth messaging, internalized shame, and fear- which can all impact our food choices and self-care. It's time to challenge these beliefs and embrace the idea that you are inherently worthy of good things, without needing to earn them. You will learn more about how these patterns manifest in everyday life and receive guidance on transforming these thoughts to promote healing and self-compassion. We can't wait for you to listen!Episode Timeline:00:51 The Concept of Deserving02:11 Origins of the Belief02:38 Internalized Shame03:49 Conditional Worth Messaging06:20 Fear of Impermanence07:24 Negative Core Beliefs09:19 Deservingness and Food11:07 Challenging the Deservingness Belief13:39 Extending Generosity to Yourself15:04 Conclusion and SupportConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

In this first installment of Dopamine Diaries, Livia Sara unravels the overlooked connection between autism, ADHD, and anorexia. You'll learn how dopamine differences create a neurodivergent vulnerability for engaging in anorexia behaviors, including restriction, compulsive exercise, ADHD hyperfocus, and constantly thinking about food! Further resources:
So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…

Welcome to this Liv Label Free meditation! I'm Livia Sara, an autistic eating disorder recovery coach that's here to help you turn your MESS into your MESSage. Today, I'm delighted to guide you through this meditation designed for autistic people struggling with eating disorders. It's a connection that's hugely misunderstood, which is beyond unfortunate because of how common autism and eating disorders are! My promise to you with this mediation is that you will feel validated and that you will walk away with at least a teensy tiny bit of hope. Because you are absolutely not alone, my friend. Freedom from disordered eating is already out in the Universe waiting for you. Your unique version of a healthy relationship with food is already swirling through the cosmos, waiting for your powerful neurodivergent essence to collide with it! But of course, that can be difficult to imagine, let alone to trust, when you feel stuck. When you feel like food is your only coping mechanism. When you feel that food and exercise are your only way of numbing from this overwhelming world not built for you. So that's what we're going to explore together today. Through your breathing and intention, and my guidance, we're going to regulate your nervous system together, and we're going to create the space for YOU to create a life you don't need to escape from. Which is a life of safety. Because when you feel safe, there's no numbing necessary.
Habits Aren't The Enemy: Why Safety Heals What Willpower Can't.This episode is a little different, Queens — it came to me in the middle of the night while lying in bed with baby Koa. I had no plan to record, but the download was strong, so here it is: raw, real, and straight from my heart.I'm talking about habits — what they actually are, why they form, and how to truly shift them in recovery (without fighting yourself).So many of my clients worry that bingeing, emotional eating, or dessert-after-dinner will become “bad habits.” But here's the truth: when you heal the root cause, habits fall away naturally. They stop being needed.In this episode I share:✨ The difference between habits and routines (and why it matters in recovery)✨ How your brain wires habits — and how to rewire them with choice✨ Why forcing yourself out of ED habits never works long-term✨ The “swap, don't stop” principle that makes change easier✨ Why allowance and self-trust create freedom

In this episode, Stefanie revisits the early days of her “all-in” recovery from binge eating and restriction. She shares raw excerpts from personal emails she wrote at the time, capturing the fear, doubt, and body image struggles of letting go of food rules on her 40th birthday. Stefanie reflects on why this attempt at recovery succeeded when so many earlier ones hadn't, and what it really means to be ready for change. She also answers a listener question about the most sensible advice clients resist, explaining why nervous system safety and readiness matter more than logic when it comes to eating regularly or buying clothes that fit. If you've ever wondered what “all-in” looks like from the inside—or why advice can sound simple but feel impossible—this episode will meet you there.

In this episode, you're going to hear from Robyn, who not only stopped binge eating after doing it for decades but, she did it while in her 70s. I have heard so many people tell me that they think they've been doing it for too long so they can't change, or that they're too old to change, and if you've ever said that about yourself, then you must listen to Robyn's story. She was stuck in the restrict/binge cycle for such a long time, trying all the diets, and gaining and losing a lot of weight. And eating food was how she comforted and soothed herself for almost her entire life. She didn't know how else to take care of her emotions. But now, she is changed. She is so different. The Robyn I talked to in this conversation is not the same as the Robyn I first met when she began my program. I'm so excited for you to hear her story, to hear how she's changed, and to hear what she has to say. Interested in working with me?

Jews may joke about the High Holidays being a time for binge eating—overflowing tables of multiple meats, several courses, soups, sides and desserts—but for anyone suffering from an eating disorder, it's a dangerous time of year. That's how Ilana Zackon, a performer and writer, remembers coming home for the holidays in her early 20s. Privately, she had a binge-eating disorder; when faced with mountains of brisket, chicken, potatoes and pies, nobody thought twice about her eating for two straight hours. Zackon wound up recovering from her disorder. And now, more than a decade later, she's reimagined that experience into a short film, Grain, that recently won an award for best 2D short film at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal. In the movie, the main character binges to the point of transforming into a horrific creature that rampages through her city. Ahead of the High Holidays, Zackon joins the rabbi podcasters of Not in Heaven to analyze the role of food in Jewish culture—and how we approach eating, cooking and encouraging others to dig in.

Living with an eating disorder for years or even decades can feel overwhelming, discouraging, and isolating. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores what it means to navigate a long-term eating disorder, including the grief of lost time, the way it shapes daily life and identity, and how neurodivergence and trauma often play a role in keeping patterns in place. Dr. Marianne also brings in two often overlooked dimensions: AGING AND EATING DISORDERS: how struggles can persist into midlife and older adulthood, and the ways ageism, body changes, and health conditions intersect with recovery. SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION: how racism, anti-fat bias, heterosexism, ableism, and other forms of marginalization amplify harm, delay diagnosis, and create barriers to care. This episode emphasizes that there is no timeline for recovery. Whether you have lived with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or ARFID for a few years or many decades, your healing matters. Recovery may not erase every thought or behavior, but loosening the eating disorder's grip and reclaiming your life on your own terms is possible. In this podcast episode on long-term eating disorders, Dr. Marianne highlights the unique challenges of navigating eating disorders across the lifespan. Listeners will hear about aging and eating disorders, how neurodivergence and trauma influence recovery, and the role systemic oppression plays in prolonging symptoms. These insights are especially valuable for people who have struggled with eating disorders for decades and are seeking affirming, trauma-informed support. CONTENT CAUTION: This episode discusses eating disorders, long-term struggles, aging, and systemic oppression. Please take care while listening. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE Why recovery feels more complex after years of living with an eating disorder How grief shows up when looking back on time lost The connection between long-term eating disorders, neurodivergence, and trauma Why aging can both challenge and shift recovery How systemic oppression creates barriers and delays access to care What recovery can look like when you have been struggling long-term RELATED EPISODES ON LONG-TERM EATING DISORDERS Orthorexia, Quasi-Recovery, & Lifelong Eating Disorder Struggles with Dr. Lara Zibarras @drlarazib on Apple & Spotify.

What does it take to break free from food addiction and binge eating? Tania Lyon knows firsthand. For decades, she struggled with morbid obesity, disordered eating, and the cycle of restriction and relapse. At her heaviest (likely more than 300 pounds), she feared for her health, and even simple tasks like tying her shoes were difficult. But today, Tania has lost 150 pounds and found balance. Not through perfection, but through a deep understanding of her own hunger drive and a strategy of eating when hungry. In this episode of The Exam Room, Tania shares: - The foods that once triggered binges and how she avoids them now - What finally worked for her - The role of plant-based eating in her long-term transformation - Why “eating when hungry” is more complex than it sounds You can learn more about Tania on her website: https://www.transformshadows.com If you feel like you've raised your health IQ, please leave a 5-star rating and nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Perimenopausal weight loss may seem daunting to some. We hear so much more about perimenopausal weight gain and weight loss resistance. If you've learned diets don't work the hard way, you'll identify with my guest. What you may not realize is why the diet isn't working. A whole food, healthy diet will often work for most. But it won't work if that isn't the problem. My guest in this episode overcame a stressful corporate existence, and thanks in part to the pandemic, was able to leave that and 80 lbs behind.

Are binge eating and ADHD more connected than we think? So many people struggling with binge eating disorder feel trapped in cycles of food noise, shame, and self-blame. Layer in ADHD's dopamine dysregulation, and it can feel nearly impossible to find control.This week, I'm bringing back marriage and family therapist Kacee Markarian to dig deeper into that connection. Her message is clear: this isn't your fault, it's not about “willpower,” and it definitely won't be solved by just removing trigger foods from your house.Kacee explains why binge eating can feel like a trance, what's really happening in the brain, and how small, practical shifts can quiet the food noise—without shame, restriction, or diet culture.If you've ever felt like your thoughts are consumed by when and what you'll eat next, this episode offers both understanding and a compassionate path forward.ReferencesVisit Kacee's websiteListen to my previous episodes with Kacee:Ep. 127: Why Your Body Was Never the Problem with Kacee M Markarian LMFTEp. 128: Staying True to Fat Liberation While Caring for Your Health with Kacee M Markarian LMFTGet Your FREE 3-Day Hunger Hormone Reset Mini Video SeriesAudio Stamps02:00 - Kacee redefines binge eating disorder (BED) beyond clinical definitions and discusses common misconceptions about the condition.04:35 - Understanding the "food trance" state and how binge eating episodes feel different from normal food cravings.05:49 - Why typical advice like removing trigger foods fails and the role of shame in preventing people from seeking help.08:46 - Exploring the relationship between ADHD and binge eating disorder through brain chemistry and dopamine function.11:58 - Four foundational lifestyle strategies for managing dopamine dysfunction and reducing binge eating episodes.17:36 - Kacee's treatment approach focusing on addition rather than restriction when working with clients.23:55 - Addressing the broader context of addiction, family history, and societal factors that contribute to eating disorders.All of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

I talked with Dr. Pamela Keel about her new study exploring the biological underpinnings of binge eating. We discuss how weight suppression affects key hormones—GLP‑1 and leptin—and how those changes can reduce satiety and drive binge eating. Dr. Keel explains what this means for understanding urges, recovery, and weight restoration—and we also discuss the potential role and risks of GLP‑1 medications in treatment.

I have the honor of welcoming back Dr. Stephanie Lopez, former NASA psychologist to the Food Freedom Society Podcast.

If you've ever felt like you're spiraling from “just one cookie,” or that you constantly need to have everything figured out, this episode will speak directly to your soul.Dr. Steph shares how trying to control everything in life (including food) is often a protective mechanism rooted in anxiety, fear, and insecurity. We are exploring how intrusive thoughts, mom guilt and the all or nothing mentality show up in our daily life - and talk about how to break free.

In episode 294 of Fitness & Sushi, we pull back the curtain on one of diet culture's most damaging exports: The Biggest Loser. What looked like “just TV” was actually cultural programming that rewired a generation of women to believe their worth was tied to shrinking their bodies. Contestants were pushed past the point of safety, trainers used shame and abuse as “motivation,” and viewers absorbed it all as truth. The fallout? Broken metabolisms, broken trust in our bodies, and decades of food and body obsession. In this episode — Fit for TV: How The Biggest Loser Broke Us — and How We Heal — you'll learn…

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explores the fascinating link between dietary habits and sleep quality, particularly nightmares. Discussing a recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology, Leyla explains how consuming certain foods, especially late at night, can influence dream patterns.

She emphasizes healthy eating habits, particularly avoiding food allergens and late-night eating, and suggests practical tips for improving sleep quality.
