Podcasts about binge eating recovery

In this episode, I'm talking about what actually creates peace with food, because it's probably not what you've been told. Maybe you're still in it, trying every rule and every plan to stop binge eating or emotional eating. Or maybe you've already tried most of what's out there, from books to structured programs, and you're left wondering why none of it fully stuck. Either way, I'm breaking down the four things that actually get you to trusting yourself around food again, and why more willpower or another set of food rules was never going to be one of them.What you'll discover:Why information and support alone weren't enoughThe four things that actually create peace with foodWhy shame keeps people stuck instead of motivating changeWhat it actually feels like to trust yourself around foodIf you've tried nearly everything to stop binge eating or emotional eating and you're starting to wonder what you're missing, this episode is for you.Check out my book The Binge Eating Breakthrough.Join me for the live Book Experience beginning August 18th. Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

Your binge on sweets may have started before you even ate the chocolate.You craved chocolate, but chose fruit, almonds and a protein bar instead. Now you're full, still unsatisfied and thinking about chocolate even more.In this episode, I explain why avoiding the food you actually want can lead to overeating later and how honouring a craving can help you feel satisfied and move on.You'll learn:Why fullness and satisfaction are differentHow “healthier” substitutes can make food noise louderWhy being overly full can trigger a bingeHow guilt turns eating sweets into an all-or-nothing spiralHow to honour a craving without eating on autopilot

Have you ever watched someone eat one homemade chocolate chip cookie with a cup of tea and then casually move on with their day?Meanwhile, the moment you eat something sweet, it feels like something switches in your brain.You have one cookie, immediately want another and start telling yourself:“I should only have one.”“Why can't I stop?”“I've already messed up.”Before you know it, you've eaten several cookies, feel painfully full and promise yourself you'll do better tomorrow. You might even throw out whatever is left or swear you'll never bake cookies again.But the people who can eat one cookie and move on usually aren't forcing themselves to stop at one.They aren't following a strict rule.Their body and brain simply feel content and satisfied.In this episode, I'm breaking down why putting pressure on yourself to “just have one” can actually make you feel more impulsive around food and what needs to change for stopping to begin feeling natural.You'll learn:Why the rule “I can only have one” can activate your inner rebelHow guilt after a second cookie can turn into an all-or-nothing bingeWhy being ravenously hungry makes it harder to feel satisfiedWhy being overly full can also trigger continued eatingThe difference between eating from a craving and eating from an urgeWhy feeling calm and regulated matters when eating a trigger foodWhy simply keeping trigger foods in the house does not automatically build trustHow your beliefs about a food influence how in control you feel around itHow to begin rebuilding trust with cookies, peanut butter, bread, chocolate, chips, ice cream or another triggering foodI also share client examples of women who are beginning to feel safer around foods they once ate frantically, secretly or straight from the package including peanut butter and bread.You are not broken, and you are not the exception.No matter how many times you've binged on a specific food, your brain can learn a new association with it. You can rebuild trust one experience, and one food at a time.Inside my four-week program, Trust With Trigger Foods, I walk you through the process of rebuilding trust with one specific food.You'll learn how to:Choose the right food to begin withReduce the fear and anxiety surrounding itRewire the beliefs that make you feel out of controlUnderstand when it is supportive to eat the foodCreate a calmer and safer eating experienceUse the same process with other trigger foods in the futureThe goal isn't to force yourself to keep food in the house or allow yourself to eat it whenever you think about it.The goal is to help your brain feel safe enough that you can enjoy the food without automatically spiralling into guilt, overeating or bingeing.JOIN TRUST WITH TRIGGER FOODSCONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

In this episode, I'm continuing last week's conversation about GLP-1 medications, but this time I brought in someone who actually is the expert. Dr. Matthea Rentea, a board certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, joins me to answer the questions I'm not qualified to answer myself. Maybe you're on a GLP-1 right now and know there's more to it than what your last appointment covered. Or maybe you're considering one and don't know where to start. Either way, we get into what these medications actually do in the body, who they're really for, and what almost nobody tells you about using them well for the long haul. What you'll discover:Why GLP-1s target a hormonal problem, not a willpower oneThe warning signs of losing muscle too fast, and how to prevent itWhy going without the right support can backfireHow to tell if your medical team is helping or hurting youIf you've ever wondered whether you're using a GLP-1 the right way, or whether it's the right choice at all, this conversation is for you.Previous episodes referenced:What a GLP-1 Can't Do for Your Binge EatingIf this conversation left you with more questions, Dr. Rentea has answers waiting. Her free podcast roadmap lets you search by exactly what you want to know, whether that's a specific medication, protein, fiber, or anything else that came up for you today.

Binge Eating Recovery: Finding Real Joy Before Reaching Your Goal Weight [Podcast #703] Original copyrighted content published April 09 2026 at https://fearlessfatloss.com/podcast/binge-eating-recovery-finding-real-joy-before-reaching-your-goal-weight

This is actually a pretty wild story. During my first year in my PhD, a woman reached out to me through the contact form on my website and was like, "Hey, we're doing similar work! I would love to connect." I starred the email as something I needed to follow up on and then it got completely buried in my inbox. Then, several months later, one of my teachers emailed me and said, "Did you see this dissertation defense coming up? It is on binge eating." I immediately marked it in my calendar as something I had to attend. I arrived at the Zoom dissertation defense and as soon as I see this woman's name I was like, "Why is this person's name sound so familiar?" I sneak off into my inbox and look up her name and lo and behold, it was the same person who emailed me a few months prior. Honestly, I initially felt mortified I had not followed up with her sooner, but I immediately emailed her after the defense was over. We scheduled a Zoom chat and it was amazing how much we had in common. We come from a similar lens that binge eating recovery needs a body-based approach. It is the body and experiencing it internally and externally that is missing from most recovery modalities. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Kristina Dobyns, PhD, MA, Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and certified Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention facilitator, about: What worked and didn't work in Kristina's binge eating recovery journeyWhat she discovered in her research on binge eatingThe importance of building somatic awareness and interoceptionThe role of sensory strategiesUtilizing nutrition as a part of binge eating recoveryChallenging conventional recovery approachesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/body-based-strategies-for-binge-eatingYou're about to receive some game changing binge eating recovery strategies and I hope it feels helpful!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Kristina here: Website: https://www.BeyondBingeEating.comYoutube: www.BeyondBingeEating.com/@BeyondBingeEatingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/BeyondBingeEating/FREE Eat-With-Awareness Bundle: https://beyondbingeeating.com/opt-in/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

"I just don't trust myself around food." If that sentence is familiar, this episode is for you. Today I'm unpacking what self-trust actually is, and what it isn't, because most of us are working toward a version of self-trust that was never achievable to begin with. And that definition is quietly keeping us stuck.What You'll Discover:Why the most common definition of self-trust sets you up to fail before you even beginWhat self-trust actually isThe difference between self-monitoring and self-awareness, and why one creates more shame while the other creates real changeWhy respect is often more accessible than love, and how practicing respect with your body builds the safety that self-trust actually requiresIf you've ever dismissed your own progress because you didn't get it perfect, this episode will give you a different place to stand.Mentioned in this episode:The Gathering is a monthly guided experience for women who want to slow down and learn how to trust themselves. Each session, I bring the topics I'm personally working through and the patterns I keep seeing in my clients, and we go there together. Our most recent session was a full conversation on self-trust, self-respect and self-love.

If you've ever wondered why binge eating or emotional eating seems to happen at the same times of day, after work, after lunch, on Sunday nights, or when you get home from a trip, this episode is going to reframe everything. The answer might not be about food at all. It might be about transitions.In this episode I break down what transitions actually are, why the brain finds them so hard to navigate, and how so many binge eating triggers are really just transition moments your nervous system didn't know how to get through. Whether you're dealing with the small daily transitions that fly under the radar or a bigger life change that's been quietly driving your eating, this episode will help you finally understand what's happening and what to do about it.What You'll Discover:Why your brain treats transitions as a threat and how that drives binge eating and stress eating urgesThe daily transition moments most people never recognize and how to spot the ones that are hardest for youHow to tell if a big life transition is behind your current food struggles and the question to ask yourself right nowHow to minimize transitions where you can — a nervous system strategy that also happens to be a productivity strategyA practical framework for navigating the transitions you can't avoid so food stops being your brain's default relief valve If you've ever found yourself reaching for food after work, during a stressful season, or at the same time every day without knowing why, this episode will help you finally connect those dots. Binge eating triggers aren't random. And understanding them is the first step to changing them. Do you want help navigating big or small transitions?

If you struggle with binge eating and feel like you're holding it together on the outside while something quietly unravels on the inside, this episode is for you.A contestant on the survival show Alone had everything he needed to win and tapped out on day eight anyway. Not because of anything going wrong on the outside. Because of everything he had never learned to be with on the inside. His story reveals something important about why binge eating happens and why willpower will never be the answer. What You'll Discover:Why high-achieving people who struggle with binge eating often don't recognize their own coping mechanismsWhat binge eating and emotional avoidance have in common — and what the body is actually reaching forThe difference between a willpower problem and a capacity problem — and why it changes everything about binge eating recoveryWhy building capacity to be with difficult emotions is hard to do alone — and what support actually looks like If you've ever wondered why you binge eat even when life looks fine from the outside, or why staying busy feels easier than slowing down, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on underneath. If you're ready for support with your relationship with food, schedule a Breakthrough Call today. Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

I tried a GLP-1 for 30 days… and what happened genuinely shocked me. In this episode, I'm sharing my completely honest experience trying a GLP-1 as an emotional eating coach, including both the incredible upsides and the concerns that made me rethink the conversation happening online.We're also diving deep into the science behind: • What GLP-1s actually are • The difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide • What peptides are • Why food noise disappears • How GLP-1s slow digestion • Why protein and strength training matter SO much • The truth about hair loss on GLP-1s • Nutrient deficiencies nobody warns women about • Why these medications are NOT a long-term identity replacementThis is not an anti-GLP-1 episode.And it's not blind hype either.It's the honest conversation women deserve to hear.If you've ever wondered: “Would a GLP-1 help me?” or“Why are these medications changing people's lives?”…this episode will give you a balanced, educational, deeply personal perspective.⭐ If this episode helped you, please leave a review and share it to your Instagram stories and tag me so I can repost you!Get Kylie's exact weight loss BlueprintGet Kylie's Free Weight Loss CourseFollow Kylie on InstagramBOMBSHELL BLUEPRINT WEIGHT LOSS FOR EMOTIONAL EATERS

Most people have a picture in their mind of what it looks like to finally break free from binge eating — a switch that flips or a moment that changes everything. The reality is different. And in a lot of ways, it's more hopeful. In this episode, I walk through the phases people often move through on the journey to food freedom, not as a prescribed timeline, but as a map of recognizable places you might find yourself. Wherever you are, you'll be able to identify yourself in one or more of these phases.What You'll Discover:Why breaking free is not linear, and what to expect insteadThe phases most people move through on the way to real food freedomThe recalibration phase, the most misunderstood and most common exit point in the journeyWhy the journey takes longer than we want it to, and why that's not a sign it isn't working If you've ever wondered whether what you're experiencing is normal, or whether the progress you're making is real even when you can't see it, this episode is for you. Ready to explore what it would look like to get support on your journey?

Erin's was inside my world for 2 months & already learnt so much from everyone in the community. She just saw I hosted 1.0 and it looked like such an amazing time & knew she couldn't miss 2.0. Erin's an introvert so the idea of going way out of her comfort zone for an entire weekend was something she wanted to challenge herself with. It wasn't something she would normally do but she wanted to be more spontaneous so she said: "I'm doing this, I am going!"She's most excited to meet all the other ladies who also have a growth mindset.Her biggest motivation is her kids especially her 3 daughters. She wants to be the best role model for them because she never would want them going through what she did with her relationship with food.If you want to be around other incredible badasses who are so committed to stepping into the greatest versions of themselves, join us at the UNSTOPPABLE Badass Event 2.0!An intimate woman's retreat where you will finally step into the badass woman within you.Msg me "TICKET" for details!CONNECT WITH LORNA:---＞ Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/ ---＞ TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

CONQUER BINGE EATINGHelena came to me struggling with her relationship with food & bingeing since she was 12 years old. She would come home from school and binge on a bunch of snacks when her parents weren't home.She tried therapy, eating disorder treatment and worked with dieticians but always felt like she was the exception. She had thoughts that maybe she'd just struggle with bingeing & thinking about food for the rest of her life.Until she found my podcast, joined CONQUER & decided to trust the process and believe that she could CONQUER. She was fully open to a new approach of rewiring her brain after understanding that binge eating was a habit. (THIS IS KEY!!!)

In Part 2 of the Food Noise series, Kathryn explores how the modern food environment and intense cultural pressure around bodies and weight contributes to an overabundance of thoughts about food. This episode is designed to help you better understand why the noise shows up, so you can approach it with less self-blame and more self-compassion. Kathryn acknowledges that some people are more sensitive to today's environment than others and uses a thoughtful comparison to other natural drives to show that increased “noise” doesn't have to dictate your actions.

Emotional eating isn't about willpower — and for many women, midlife is when it finally becomes impossible to ignore.In this powerful episode of Asking for a Friend, Michele Folan sits down with emotional eating expert, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Tricia Nelson to unpack what emotional eating really is, why it intensifies during midlife and menopause, and how women can finally break free from decades of dieting, shame, and self-blame.Tricia shares her deeply personal story — from childhood emotional eating and binge drinking to sobriety at 21 — and explains why food is often used as a coping mechanism for stress, unprocessed emotions, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout. Together, Michele and Tricia explore how hormonal shifts, caregiving roles, identity changes, and boundary struggles collide in midlife, making emotional eating patterns louder and harder to manage.This conversation goes far beyond food rules and meal plans. You'll learn how emotional eating shows up as pain-killing, escape, and self-punishment, why dieting alone never solves the problem, and what it actually takes to heal your relationship with food — without restriction, guilt, or obsession. Tricia also addresses the misunderstood link between emotional eating, addiction, alcohol, and highly processed foods, and explains why healing requires addressing emotions, stress, and daily habits together.If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of “doing everything right” but still struggling with food, weight, or self-trust — this episode will feel like someone finally put words to your experience.Tricia is the author of Heal Your Hunger and founder of Heal Your Hunger, a proven program helping women end emotional eating by addressing the root causes — not just the symptoms.
