Podcasts about Binge eating

Are you someone who experiences a period of good weeks followed by bad weeks? Maybe you've heard yourself thinking, "I've been so good, I can afford it." This is an unhelpful thought that we hear pretty regularly from our clients and it's something we call "The Overconfidence Trap". Someone usually falls into this trap when they are doing well with their eating and health behaviors and feeling successful, only to be thrown off their game. Join us for this episode as we share how the overconfidence trap can show up in your journey to becoming a confident, sensible eater. Through careful observation and gradual reinforcement of your successful habits, you can maintain progress without falling into overconfidence. 00:00 Introduction to James' Predictable Rhythm01:34 Understanding the Habit Tracker04:51 Identifying the Overconfidence Trap05:56 Practical Steps to Avoid the Overconfidence Trap07:32 Gradual Progress and Baby Steps10:16 Conclusion and Additional SupportConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Why do binge eating urges feel so overwhelming—and what do they actually mean? In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller, PhD and eating disorder therapist, explores the real reasons behind binge eating urges and offers compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming strategies to manage them without shame. You'll learn why binge urges aren't about a lack of willpower or self-control. Instead, they're often the result of unmet needs—like food deprivation, emotional disconnection, sensory overwhelm, or nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Marianne explains how these urges show up in neurodivergent bodies and offers practical tools to respond with care, not punishment. Whether you're navigating binge eating disorder, struggling with food shame, or simply want support that understands your brain and body, this episode offers a validating and supportive framework for recovery.

Die Coaching-Szene boomt – aber was bedeutet das eigentlich für Menschen, die echte Hilfe suchen? In dieser Folge spreche ich über ein Thema, das mich sehr bewegt: die zunehmende Oberflächlichkeit in der Coaching-Welt – und warum das so gefährlich sein kann. Ich spreche über meine Erfahrungen in der Coaching-Welt, über Schein und Sein, über Verkaufspsychologie, „hochpreisige Transformation“ und den Unterschied zwischen echtem Halt und leerem Marketing. Eine Folge über Sehnsucht. Über Wahrheit. Und über die Frage: Was brauchst Du wirklich, um Dich sicher, verstanden und gesehen zu fühlen – in Deiner Tiefe?

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Amber, a bikini competitor who shares her raw and real journey through five competitions. After earning 5thplace in her debut show, she faced the harsh reality of binge eating, grief, and a reverse diet gone wrong. Amber opens up about canceling a prep she wasn't ready for, why slowing down was the best decision, and how she found clarity by refusing to quit—even when it meant stepping back. This one's for every athlete who's ever felt lost after the stage.

In this episode, I explore extreme hunger and going 'all-in' versus incremental steps, in eating disorder recovery. I talk about getting stuck in quasi recovery. How to manage extreme hunger and dealing with emotional triggers too. I hope that you find it helpful.

Ever felt powerless in front of the pantry, like you're watching someone else control the snacks? That creeping shame after a binge is rough. In this candid talk, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amber Abila—a woman who's been there, who's been through it, and who found herself on the other side.Amber opens up about her binge-eating journey, peeling back the layers to reveal how dieting, stress, and outdated habits rewired her brain into a food-fueled panic button. She takes us into the real work she did to reset her relationship with food—mindset shifts, self-talk work, mindful bites, and small victories that don't come in bite-sized packaging.Together, they break it down: the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger, the power of speaking kindly to yourself, and how rewriting your food story means seeing your body as an ally—not an adversary. This isn't about perfection or sealing off your feelings. It's about curiosity, reclaiming trust in your body, and learning that food doesn't have to be the boss of you.Let this episode be the reminder that recovery is possible—even if it feels messy, slow, and confusing. You're allowed to rewrite your story.Tune in if you've ever felt caught in the binge cycle. You don't have to be defined by it.Find Amber Abila Online Here:Website: https://www.theconfidenteater.orgInstagram:@theconfidenteater_Facebook: Amber AbilaYouTube: Amber AbilaPodcast: Become A Confident EaterFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Food Relationships(02:55) Amber's Journey with Binge Eating(06:38) Understanding the Brain's Role in Eating Habits(10:25) Rewiring the Brain for Healthier Choices(15:31) Steps to a Positive Food Mindset(20:12) Mindful Eating and Body Connection(22:50) Understanding Urges and Binge Eating(24:11) The Connection Between Hunger and Fullness(30:50) Building Confidence and Body Neutrality(32:49) Shifting Identity and Self-Perception(39:49) Navigating Binge Eating and Food Relationships(41:39) Reconnecting with Body Wisdom

What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't a lack of willpower—but a mindset wired for protection instead of transformation?In this episode, Louise and I explore why real, lasting change doesn't come from willpower alone—it comes from being system-focused. We dive into how nervous system regulation, mindset, and internal alignment are essential for transformation in any area of life: health, relationships, and self-worth.I open up about what it takes to ignore external noise and connect with your inner truth, and how beliefs drive behavior far more than we realize. We also talk about the daily practices—like internal reflection and gratitude—that can shift us out of protection mode and into the safety needed for deep, lasting change.If you've ever felt stuck, misunderstood, or frustrated with repeated setbacks, this conversation will help you reconnect with your power and see that transformation isn't just possible—it's inevitable when you work with your system, not against it.Topics Covered:Transformative Health Journeys Through System Focus Over OutcomesOvercoming Adversity: A Journey from Injury to EmpowermentDiscovering Inner Intuition Through Silence and Self-ReflectionTrusting Inner Wisdom and Exploring Alternative Health SolutionsThe Power of Self-Belief in Overcoming Life's ChallengesHarnessing Gratitude and Meditation for Personal GrowthTransforming Mindset for Achieving Personal and Health GoalsConnecting With Sherry Shaban and Louise Digby OnlineIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Kennst Du diesen Schwebezustand – nicht mehr ganz im alten Muster gefangen, aber auch noch nicht wirklich frei?

CLICK HERE TO JOIN CONQUERYou are able to eat super healthy all day but come the evenings especially after dinner, that's when you're mindlessly snacking even though you know you're not even hungry.This is an important step to work through because you don't get to actually experience me time in the evenings when you're eating. You don't actually decompress, unwind and fill up your own cup which is why you feel exhausted. You wake up the next day frustrated because you know this isn't the real you.When you're able to actually unwind in the evenings, fill up your own cup and get a good nights sleep, that's when you show up more powerfully for yourself at work the next day, you have an amazing workout where you feel like a strong badass and can easily have breakfast the moment you feel hunger kick in.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach

CLICK HERE TO JOIN CONQUERYou're turning to food when you're stressed, overwhelmed & anxious because you don't know how to process your emotions. You're seeing your emotions as big scary monsters instead of knowing that you have the power to feel through them so they don't build up and become super intense where you don't have a choice but to soothe with food. When you know how to process your emotions, you can be stressed at work, sad, bored, feeling anxious & go for a drive, let yourself grieve actually feel through your emotions instead of stuffing them & allowing them to build up over time.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach

What if changing the story you tell yourself could transform your identity—and your life?In this episode, we talk about something we all deal with—how we see ourselves, and how the stories we tell ourselves shape who we are. Our guest shares real-life experiences and expert knowledge to show how things like childhood memories and social pressure can affect our identity and daily choices.The conversation highlights how powerful our thoughts and words are. Backed by neuroscience, we learn that the way we think can actually change how our brain and body work. When we start thinking more positively and treating ourselves with kindness, it can lead to real changes—not just in how we feel, but also in our health, success, and overall happiness.The main idea? Your identity isn't set in stone. You can change it by changing your inner story. By becoming more aware of your thoughts and practicing self-love, you can break free from negative patterns and become who you truly want to be.Topics Covered:Rewriting Identity Through Awareness and Inner TransformationOvercoming Negative Self-Perceptions From High School LabelsOvercoming Obstacles to Become the Heroine of Your StoryEmbracing the Athlete Mindset for Personal GrowthImpact of Negative Self-Talk on Body's Stress ResponseCultivating Self-Love Through Positive Mindset and Intuitive LivingIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

This week, we're talking boundaries—the invisible lines that protect our time, energy, and sanity (when we actually enforce them). Stef and Sarah unpack what boundaries really are (hint: not just saying “no”), how they show up in our bodies, our relationships, and our work—and why so many of us struggle to hold them. From family dynamics to friend drama, people-pleasing traps to food boundaries, they share real stories of what it takes to define and defend your limits without guilt. They also get into the psychology behind rigid vs. porous boundaries, how social conditioning makes it harder for some of us to draw the line, and why clear communication isn't just helpful—it's essential. If you've ever felt like setting a boundary makes you mean—or like you're constantly betraying yourself just to avoid conflict—this conversation is for you. Tune in for a candid, compassionate look at how to honor your needs and why boundaries aren't just protective… they're a form of kindness. 01:09 Defining Boundaries 02:20 Types of Boundaries 04:09 Personal Experiences with Boundaries 08:09 Boundaries in Relationships 10:32 Communicating Boundaries Effectively 11:41 Challenges in Setting Boundaries 13:11 Owning Your Boundaries 21:23 The Importance of Clear Communication 22:56 Setting Boundaries with Family 24:35 Navigating Boundaries in Friendships 26:41 Balancing Personal and Professional Boundaries 28:56 Understanding Boundaries in Therapy 34:57 Boundaries and Food Relationships 40:55 Concluding Thoughts on Boundaries Join our support community.

CLICK HERE TO JOIN CONQUERThrough years of dieting, you've developed strong urges to binge. Continuously acting on your binge urges creates a habit in your brain. The urges you experience is why you feel compelled to go into the pantry to have something sweet even though you're full from dinner. So you need to not give into them in order to eliminate them. Every urge you don't give into, is helping you become less impulsive and eventually your urges will stop popping up.CONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach

In episode 573 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Morgan chose Westfield State University, what is the emotional and physical toll of eating disorders, what are some of the masks that college students wear, how fraternities and sororities can create safe spaces for students to be vulnerable with each other, how to recognize when a fraternity brother or sorority sister is silently struggling, what it means to "come home to yourself", what Morgan would tell her college-aged self, how college students can create authentic connections on campus, and what college students will take from Morgan's new book called "We Can Take Off The Masks and Be Real". Enjoy!

If you've ever struggled with binge eating, food guilt, chronic pain or IBS (or love someone who has) this episode is packed with real talk, practical insight and the reminder that healing is absolutely possible.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/michelle-hoIn this Mental Health Monday episode, MommaFoxFire sits down with Michelle Ho, a nutritional therapy practitioner and binge eating recovery coach, to talk about what it really takes to overcome binge eating, IBS and chronic pain... without shame, guilt, or toxic food rules.Michelle kicks things off by explaining what her work looks like and how it differs from a dietitian or nutritionist. She combines nutritional therapy with life coaching to help folks heal their relationships with food and their bodies. She emphasizes the importance of looking at the whole person - digestion, sleep, stress, blood sugar and mental well-being - not just calories or weight loss.She shares her own story of struggling with binge eating, starting in college. A combination of stress, undernourishment and diet culture set the stage for a cycle of secret binges, guilt and self-criticism. Despite looking “healthy” from the outside and doing all the “right” things (like running daily and eating what she thought was clean) she was actually stuck in an exhausting restrict-binge cycle that got worse the more she tried to control it.Michelle makes it clear that binge eating isn't about a lack of willpower. In fact, many people caught in that cycle have too much willpower and keep white-knuckling through extreme diets until their body rebels. She also explains how under-eating - even if it's “accidental” or framed as being healthy - is a major trigger for binge episodes. A simple question from her own coach at the time (“Do you think maybe eating an orange and drinking coffee all day has something to do with your binging at night?”) completely shifted her perspective.Throughout the conversation, Michelle breaks down myths about binge eating, emotional eating, and dieting. She shares that it's not about being greedy, lazy or addicted... it's often about unmet needs, whether those are nutritional, emotional, or physical. Michelle also touches on how diet culture feeds into this cycle by pushing rigid food rules, glorifying restriction and labeling foods (and people) as “good” or “bad.”IBS and chronic pain were also part of Michelle's journey, and she explains how those conditions added both urgency and complexity to her recovery. She had to find ways to avoid food triggers for her health conditions without slipping back into a restrictive mindset - something she helps her clients navigate today.Her approach to recovery is rooted in four key elements: changing the mental narratives around food, nourishing your body fully, facing food triggers in a safe and supportive way, and replacing binge eating with better tools for coping, comfort and joy. She encourages people to stop asking “How little can I eat?” and start asking, “What do I need to thrive?”This conversation is full of raw honesty, practical tools and real hope for anyone stuck in the cycle of binge eating or trying to heal their relationship with food. Michelle's message is clear: your body isn't the enemy, and you don't need to fight it to feel better.

In this episode, I will share the topics of self-empowerment and personal transformation that are close to my heart. We explore the ways we often self-sabotage, the incredible power of our identity, and the importance of self-giving in our journey toward growth and healing.I share an honest and introspective look at the stories we tell ourselves—how these narratives can either hold us back or become the very fuel we need for true transformation. This conversation is about more than just fitness; it's about sustaining motivation, redefining who we believe we are, and dismantling the self-imposed barriers that keep us stuck.Through practical tools and mindset shifts, I talk about moving from externally driven motivation to a source of deep internal inspiration. I also explore how embracing a dialectical approach—holding space for both struggle and progress—can create long-lasting change in health, fitness, and life.Together, we unpack how societal expectations shape our self-perception, how self-sabotage creeps in, and how the antidote lies in radical self-compassion and a willingness to shift our identity. If you're craving a fresh perspective that blends strategy with soul, this episode offers a roadmap to move beyond conventional fitness and step into a more holistic, empowered version of yourself.Topics Covered:Exploring Energy Medicine and Overcoming Dieting with Dr. SherryFrom Athlete to Advocate: A Journey of ResilienceOvercoming Limiting Beliefs to Unlock Self-Healing PotentialRewriting Self-Identity Through Awareness and Inner TransformationRewriting Personal Narratives to Overcome Limiting BeliefsEmbracing the Athlete Mindset for Self-Compassion and AwarenessThe Impact of Self Talk on Metabolism and Emotional EatingThe Power of Self-Love and Mindset TransformationConnecting With Dr. Sherry Siobhan Through Energy MedicineIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

Repeat after me: "Fasting is NOT a "diet."  If you treat this healing modaily as a fad or diet, it can unintentionally hinder your progress. Fasting is an innate and instinctual behavior that our bodies can benefit from, it is the oldest healing modality in recorded human history.  It can be initially challenging to break the habit of feeling like you need to eat all day to achieve your weight loss goals, this is what we grew up hearing. You may even find yourself still believing the broken rhetoric of conventional diet culture, believing that obsessively counting and restricting calories will lead you to be successful. This way of thinking is understandably hard to break if thats all you have ever known about successfully losing weight. This week we go over what diet culture DOESN'T talk about. Are you seeking a supportive hand on your fasting journey?  I'm here to provide the guidance and encouragement you need!  ACCESS YOUR FREE FASTING GUIDE, join The Fasting Support Club, Read my blog, and MORE: TheFastingFocusedLifestyle.com 

Are your eating habits driven by stress and restriction—or guided by safety, self-love, and true nourishment?In this episode, Sherry talks about how our nervous system affects the way we eat and take care of ourselves. She explains the shift from Protection Mode (where we feel stressed or unsafe) to Safety Mode (where we feel calm and in control), and why that shift is so important for healthy habits.Instead of using food and exercise as a form of punishment, Sherry encourages us to choose a mindset of kindness and self-love. This helps us build a better, more natural relationship with food and fitness.She also shares how diet culture and past experiences can confuse our eating patterns, and why changing the way we think—from “I can't eat that” to “I don't need that”—can lead to long-term health and freedom around food.Topic Covered:Journey to Intuitive Eating and FitnessThe Impact of Diet Trends on Mental Health and Eating HabitsUnderstanding the Autonomic Nervous System's Role in EmotionsUnderstanding Weight Fluctuations and the Impact of Diet CultureEmbracing Intuitive Eating and Self-Compassion for HealthAddressing Emotional Eating Before Starting Intuitive EatingHealing Your Relationship With Food Through Intuitive EatingRedefining Fitness Goals for Aging and Personal EmpowermentShifting From Can't to Don't for Identity TransformationEmbracing Fitness and Consistency Over Intensity for SuccessIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

What if ED behaviors in autistic people were not problems to be fixed, but rather, powerful adaptations to feel safe? More specifically, what if eating disorders themselves are a form of autistic masking? In this episode, Livia Sara explains how eating disorders can manifest through three distinct types of masks, why neurodiversity-affirming approaches form the foundation of freedom, and how to discover your true self – without the masks of fear and limitation. Highlights of today's episode: How autistic masking can be seen as a survival strategy in a neurotypical world How the eating disorder forms three interwoven masks: external, identity, and compensatory Introduction to The Adaptive Eating Spectrum (TAES) and how different eating patterns serve as both escape and mask Why the body itself can feel like a mask for the infinite autistic being The connection between masking, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and eating disorder behaviors The powerful of transforming eating disorder “recovery” into your unique discovery journey How to embrace neurodivergence and create safety while unmasking

If you feel like you've tried everything to stop overeating, your nervous system might be the missing piece.In this episode, Sherry Shaban talks about how living in a fast-paced world—and carrying around unresolved trauma—can throw our nervous system out of balance. This can show up in ways like emotional eating, using substances to cope, or avoiding difficult feelingsSherry explains how our childhood experiences and the pressure to keep up with life can affect how we deal with stress. She shares how learning to understand our emotions and calming the nervous system can help us feel more in control.Later in the episode, Sherry shares her thoughts on weight-loss injectables and why quick fixes don't lead to lasting results. Instead, she encourages making natural, long-term lifestyle changes.Topics Covered:Regulating the Nervous System for Emotional and Behavioral BalanceUnderstanding and Embracing Emotions Through Body AwarenessThe Risks and Side Effects of Weight Loss InjectablesHolistic Approaches to Health and Wellness Beyond DietingBreathwork and Self-Care for Emotional RegulationKey Takeaways:The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in managing involuntary bodily functions, which include critical elements of mental and emotional health.Societal norms often condition us and our children to operate in a heightened state of "protection mode," exacerbating stress-related health issues.Understanding and accepting emotions like fear, sadness, anger, and joy can lead to healthier coping mechanisms and reduced reliance on substance use.While weight-loss injectables may offer rapid results, B emphasizes the importance of natural lifestyle changes for sustainable health improvements.Emotional regulation in teenagers is often challenged by a lack of developed coping skills and prefrontal cortex maturity, but mindful practices can aid in balance.If you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration.

You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.Download your free copy here: www.sherryshaban.com/calmYou deserve to experience food freedom, I can't wait to see you inside!Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

Body positivity was never meant to be personal advice — it was a radical social justice movement designed to fight discrimination and injustice. So if you've tried to love your body and still feel stuck in shame, you're not broken — you're just reacting to a message that was never meant to fix you. In this episode, Deanna breaks down: The true origins of the body positivity movement How it got co-opted by brands and influencers Why “just love your body” can feel like toxic positivity What actually works: embodiment, neutrality, and letting go of appearance-based worth Why disconnecting your self-worth from your appearance changes everything …and how loving your body became the new perfectionism trap.

 "I want to eat like a normal person". That's what people tell us over the phone, on Zoom, via email, or written into our new client assessment. In today's episode, we want to explore with you what it means to be a 'normal eater,' and highlight that normal eating encompasses a range of behaviors rather than a specific definition. We delve into how comparisons and societal expectations can skew perceptions of normal eating and introduce the concept of 'confident, sensible eating,' which focuses on healthy, balanced, and stress-free approaches to food. Join us as we offer you insights into how people can transition towards a more confident and sensible eating style, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being, variety in diet, and enjoying food without guilt or obsession.00:39 Defining Normal Eating01:24 Common Observations About Eating Habits03:24 The Impact of Social Comparisons05:51 The Reality of Normal Eating09:53 Characteristics of Confident, Sensible Eaters15:07 Conclusion and EncouragementConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?
