Diet culture has a sneaky way of showing up everywhere. From weightloss plans disguised as “lifestyle changes” to wellness trends promising to heal everything from your skin to your soul. In this encore episode, I'm joined by Christy Harrison, MPH, RD—author of The Wellness Trap and Anti-Diet—to unpack how diet culture infiltrates the wellness world and impacts women's health in ways that are anything but healthy.Christy explains how the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry often sells us pseudoscience, dubious diagnoses, and rigid food rules that can lead to disordered eating and body-image struggles. We talk about why so many people—especially women—get caught in this cycle, how eating disorders aren't always obvious, and why scientific literacy is one of the most powerful tools for protecting your health.You will learn... Why diet culture's obsession with weight loss harms physical and mental healthHow wellness trends exploit fear to sell ineffective or harmful solutionsThe connection between restrictive eating, binge eating, and long-term health issuesWhy women are extra susceptible to falling into diet culture and wellness trendsHow social media and our political climate contributes to wellness mis- and dis-informationRemember: Your worth isn't measured by your weight, your diet, or how “well” you follow health trends. Real wellness is about freedom and self-compassion.Christy Harrison, MPH, RD, is a registered dietitian nutritionist, certified intuitive eating counselor, and journalist who has been covering food, nutrition, and health for more than 20 years. She is the author of two books, The Wellness Trapand Anti-Diet, and host of the podcasts Rethinking Wellness and Food Psych. Christy's decades of work in journalism, nutrition, and intuitive eating have helped thousands break free from the false promises of diet culture and find a more compassionate, evidence-based approach to food and health. Whether you've struggled with dieting, fallen into the wellness trap, or simply want to support women's health in a more sustainable way, this conversation will help you see wellness culture in a whole new light.Get Christy's latest book: The Wellness Trap: Break Free from Diet Culture, Disinformation, and Dubious Diagnoses and Find Your True Well-BeingLearn more about Christy at christyharrison.com and follow her on Instagram @chr1styharrisonMentioned in This Episode: Fears About Food Additives, article by Christy Harrison Is Red Food Dye Dangerous?If you're enjoying this self-love podcast, share it with the women in your life to combat diet culture, promote body positivity, and spread self-love.

In der heutigen Podcastfolge spreche ich mit Jenny, einer ehemaligen Teilnehmerin meines Lifestyle Schlank Online Programms, darüber, wie sie sich von der Scham und dem Hass gegenüber ihrer Binge-Eating-Störung befreit hat. Schon seit ihrer Kindheit begleiten Jenny Gefühle wie Schuld und Scham. Ihre alleinerziehende Mutter macht sie dafür verantwortlich, dass das Leben so schwer sei, wodurch sich bei Jenny der Glaubenssatz festigt, für das Glück anderer verantwortlich zu sein. Ihr ganzes Leben lang versucht sie, es auf ihre eigenen Kosten allen recht zu machen, weil sie glaubt, nur dann geliebt zu werden. Auch glaubt sie von klein auf, anders als andere zu sein, und versucht alles, um dazuzugehören. Bereits mit zehn Jahren macht sie ihre erste Diät, weil sie glaubt, wenn sie schlanker ist, beliebter zu sein. Die fehlende Liebe in ihrem Leben sucht und findet sie im Essen. Heimliche Essanfälle begleiten sie seit ihrer Jugend, und auch zwei Therapien helfen ihr nicht, diese loszulassen. Schließlich empfiehlt ihr eine Kundin mein Programm, und zum ersten Mal fühlt sie sich verstanden und nicht mehr anders als alle anderen. Sie arbeitet fleißig an der Auflösung ihrer Glaubenssätze, an ihrer Selbstliebe, an ihrem Selbstwert und an ihrer großen Angst vor Veränderung. Plötzlich verschwinden die Essanfälle und mit ihnen 7 kg, was Platz für mehr Lebensfreude, Energie und neue Abenteuer macht. Ich wünsche dir wie immer viel Spaß und viele neue Erkenntnisse beim Zuhören. PS: Ich freue mich auch immer sehr über eine positive Bewertung von euch.

In response to the article I wrote in The Times about whether I was daft for not using skinny jabs to lose weight, I thought revisiting my conversation with Johann Hari about his book Magic Pill, which extensively researched the benefits, limitations and risks of GLP-1 Agonist drugs such as Ozempic, Semaglutide, Wegovy and Mounjaro.Johann is thorough and meticulous in his research and this interview, originally broadcast in 2024, was before weight loss drugs became as mainstream and as widely prescribed as they are today.One of the experts Johann interviewed during his years of research, stated that the cultural impact of GLP-1s was as significant as the smart phone. At the time, it seemed like a very bold statement, but in the year since we spoke, I think it's hard to argue that they haven't completely changed the way we talk about weight, weight loss, diets, food and more...I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Hast Du manchmal das Gefühl, dass Du gar nicht wirklich hungrig bist – und trotzdem wie ferngesteuert isst? Ich kenne dieses Gefühl nur zu gut. Es gab eine Zeit, da war Essen mein einziger Weg, mich noch lebendig zu fühlen. Nicht, weil ich so gerne geschmeckt habe – sondern weil ich innerlich nichts mehr gespürt habe. Essen war meine letzte Verbindung zu mir selbst. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Dir über einen Aspekt, der so vielen Frauen nicht bewusst ist: Dass hinter Deinem Essensdrang oft nicht Schwäche oder Disziplinlosigkeit steckt – sondern ein tiefes Bedürfnis nach FÜHLEN. Ich zeige Dir, warum Essen für so viele zur emotionalen Überlebensstrategie geworden ist – und wie Du den Weg von Sinnessucht zurück zu echter Sinnlichkeit finden kannst. Du wirst verstehen, warum Du nicht “zu schwach” bist – sondern warum Dein System sich einfach nur verzweifelt nach Verbindung sehnt. Diese Folge ist ein liebevoller Weckruf an alle, die sich selbst wieder spüren wollen.
What If You Trusted Your Body Fully? | Listener Q&AThis week, Julia and I are diving into your brilliant questions once again… including some BIG ones that almost every recovery warrior asks at some point. Things like:
Join us in today's episode as we dive into one of the most pervasive thoughts in the binge-restrict cycle: 'I'll make up for it tomorrow.' We'll explore how this seemingly harmless thought is a clustered cognitive distortion, combining all-or-nothing thinking, future tripping, moral reasoning, should statements, and magical thinking. Learn how this mindset disconnects you from the present, adds emotional pressure, and often leads to more binge behaviors. We'll also discuss practical ways to reframe this thought and steps to build a mindset grounded in steadiness and self-care. If you're ready to replace unhelpful thoughts with tools that support recovery, this episode is for you. 00:32 Unpacking the Thought: 'I'll Make Up for It Tomorrow'01:00 The Cognitive Distortions Behind the Thought03:28 The Effects of 'I'll Make Up for It Tomorrow'04:51 Scientific Evidence on Anticipated Restriction07:07 Reframing the Thought for Recovery10:18 Conclusion and Support OptionsConnect 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 raw, reflective episode of The Renae Saager Show, Renae shares the messy truth behind her longest run in nearly a decade—and how it cracked open unexpected clarity about identity, comparison, and self-trust.What starts as a story about an 8-hour race turns into real talk about the emotional weight of doing life differently: raising a toddler without family nearby, grieving a parent, recovering from disordered eating, staying sober for 16 years, and not always "training for the race"—but still showing up.She breaks down how easy it is to compare yourself to people who aren't even in the same damn race, and why two years is the sweet spot for real growth to start taking root—even if it's messy.If you've ever thought “I should be further along by now,” or looked at someone else and instantly felt behind—this one's for you.
In dieser Folge erzählt Lea ihre zutiefst bewegende Geschichte – von einem jahrelangen Kampf mit Kontrolle, Verzicht, Essanfällen und Selbstabwertung… bis hin zu einem Neubeginn voller Verbindung, Mut und Selbstmitgefühl. Du erfährst, wie Leas Beziehung zum Essen und zu sich selbst über viele Jahre durch Kalorienzählen, strikte Regeln und Binge-Eating geprägt war – und wie sie schließlich einen Weg gefunden hat, sich davon zu befreien. Sie spricht über die Angst, Hilfe anzunehmen, über den Moment, in dem sie gespürt hat, dass Soulfood ihr Weg ist – und was sich dadurch in ihrem Leben verändert hat. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung an alle Frauen, die spüren, dass es so nicht weitergehen kann. Eine Ermutigung, dem eigenen Herzen zu folgen – auch wenn der Kopf voller Zweifel ist.

You'd think feeling bad about your body would make you eat less. But often, it does the opposite — and no, you're not broken for that. In this episode, we talk about the counterintuitive link between body image spirals and the urge to binge eat. We share our own experiences of how fear, shame, and catastrophizing can kick off the cycle — sometimes even before any actual restriction happens. From the mental scarcity that shows up just at the idea of cutting back, to the sensory panic of tight jeans, we explore what's really going on beneath the surface. We also talk about: Why planning to restrict often triggers the binge The role of black-and-white thinking and emotional escape How body discomfort creates urgency to numb out Practical strategies for de-escalating the moment (including algorithm cleanup and body neutrality) Plus, we share some food updates, lighter moments, and how this overlaps with topics from our other podcast, Feelings and Other Inconveniences. If you've ever felt confused or ashamed about bingeing after a “bad body day,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it. Love the episode?

Think summer should be easy for healthy eating? Ha. You're covering for everyone on vacation, your kids are home with zero routine, and you're stress-eating in your car between patients. I'm sitting on my deck talking about why summer is actually brutal for physician eating. It's not your fault - summers create the perfect storm of schedule chaos, family stress, and social food pressure. But here's the thing: you don't have to restrict all the fun stuff or wait until fall to "get back on track." I'll share what actually works when your life is upside down and why changing your brain's automatic food responses beats willpower every time. Perfect for any woman physician who's tired of the summer struggle and ready for an approach that works with your real life, not against it.

In this episode, we delve into the latest research on Binge Eating Disorder (BED), exploring its most common causes and effective treatments. Recent studies new findings show BED's connection to brain activity and reduced impulse control. Research also demonstrates the roles of systemic inflammation and the gut-brain axis in BED. You will also hear us share about the significance of interoceptive awareness, and the strong correlation between ADHD and binge eating. One of the most the important treatment methods for BED continues to be cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is becoming even more accessible through digital CBT. We also discuss the promising results of GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide for reducing binge eating episodesTo no surprise for many of you, we will emphasize that BED is not a result of poor willpower but a complex condition influenced by various biological, emotional, and psychological factors. That is why our approach tackles BED as a whole body condition.

We discuss:Why highly sensitive people are more prone to binge or emotional eatingThe nervous system's role in food behaviorsWhy traditional recovery models often miss the mark for HSPsPractical, compassionate steps to break free from shame and self-judgmentThis conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and gentle encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, ashamed, or exhausted in their relationship with food.
Intermittent fasting is everywhere—from influencer feeds to doctor's offices—but is this trending approach to eating really the wellness cure-all it claims to be? In this episode of Mental Note, registered dietitian Jennifer Vittitow joins host Ellie Pike to explore the hidden downsides of intermittent fasting, including its impact on mental health, disordered eating behaviors, and social connection. Together, they unpack the science, debunk the diet culture spin, and offer a more compassionate path forward—one rooted in balance, flexibility, and trust in your body.

You're doing the work. You're being consistent. You know things are changing…But then you take a photo and think, ‘I still look fat.'Welcome to the messy middle. The part no one talks about. It's not exciting. It's not dramatic. It's just hard. And boring. And where you're most likely to quit on yourself. In this episode, we're getting real about:Why this part of the journey feels so uncomfortableThe emotional rollercoaster of “I've changed!” vs “I still look fat”What to do when your body is changing but your mind hasn't caught upHow to keep going when it feels like nothing is working
What if the key to handling your most challenging moments with food isn't found in willpower or restriction, but in something completely unexpected?In this episode of the Binge Eating Breakthrough podcast, I'm sharing a practice from my triathlon racing that transformed how I navigate discomfort - and how you can apply this same approach when you're struggling with food.I'll tell you why I started asking for prayer requests before every race, how it got me through 105-degree heat to qualify for Kona, and most importantly - how this simple mindset shift can change everything about your relationship with food.Whether you're spiritual or not, you'll discover practical tools for moving from "I can't handle this" to connection and strength.In this episode, you'll learn:Why shifting your focus beyond yourself is more powerful than willpowerPractical tools for handling binge urges without shame or restrictionHow to change your energy from "I can't handle this" to gratitude and connectionWhat to do after a binge that actually helpsThe simple question that transforms any challenging momentWant to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

In this week's episode of the podcast, I reveal how to pair and regroup meals in a way that works with your hormones. So you cut the cravings and need to snack all day long.You'll also learn why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to food, how constant restriction can backfire, and how your mind-body connection is the biggest player in hunger, fat storage, and real, lasting change.Topics Covered:Understanding Hormonal Responses to Food Beyond Traditional DietsUnderstanding Insulin's Role in Storage and AnticipationOvercoming Food Scarcity Mindset and Gut Health ChallengesUnderstanding Cravings and the Body's Anticipation of FoodBreaking Habitual and Emotional Triggers for Better Well-BeingUnderstanding Insulin, Cravings, and the Path to Fat BurningEmbracing Compassion and Growth Through Life's ChallengesNourishing the Body: A Holistic Approach to HealthIf 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?

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.

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.

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.
