The pursuit of thinness and body perfection is raging as strongly as ever. With popular podcasts, YouTube, and TikTok influencers delivering extreme food regimes daily; countless people using the skinny jab; AI making online beauty standards even more unachievable; it's no wonder that the average human spends many minutes of each day obsessing over food choices and body proportions. You may not have a full-blown eating disorder fitting neatly into a diagnostic box. But, if you are experiencing high levels of body distress and intense preoccupation around food, then this needs to be taken seriously, as it will be impacting your mood, body image and life. This podcast explores 20 disordered eating behaviours that have become normalised in 2025 daily living. I hope that you find it helpful.

In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller explores one of the most misunderstood experiences in eating disorder recovery: binge eating and shame. She explains why binge eating is not caused by lack of willpower. It develops from deprivation, unmet emotional needs, and internalized shame. You will learn how restriction fuels binge urges, how shame keeps you stuck, and how compassion-based recovery helps you rebuild trust with food and your body. Why Binge Eating Isn't About Willpower Many people believe binge eating happens because they lack control. In truth, binge eating is a biological and emotional response to restriction. When your body senses scarcity, it does what it was designed to do: it pushes you to eat. Dr. Marianne discusses how diet culture and fear-based food rules create deprivation and shame. The body responds to this deprivation by seeking safety through eating, sometimes in large quantities. The solution is not to control yourself more, but to give your body the consistent nourishment and compassion it needs. How Shame Fuels the Binge Cycle Shame is one of the strongest emotional drivers of binge eating. After a binge, thoughts like “I failed again” or “I'll start over tomorrow” appear. Those thoughts lead to more restriction, which triggers another binge. Dr. Marianne explains how shame disconnects you from your body and keeps you in a cycle of punishment and control. The shift begins when you replace blame with curiosity. Asking “What does my body need right now?” helps you reconnect to your needs instead of silencing them. The Biology Behind Binge Eating Binge eating is a predictable response to restriction. When your body does not receive enough food, hunger hormones increase, reward pathways in the brain intensify, and cravings become urgent. Binge eating is your body's attempt to restore balance. Mental restriction has the same effect. When you label foods as bad or forbidden, your body perceives danger and increases urgency around those foods. Regular meals, adequate nutrition, and permission to eat satisfying foods restore body trust and calm the nervous system. Emotional Safety and Recovery Binge eating is often a way to self-soothe when emotions feel too big or overwhelming. If you have been taught that sadness, anger, or fear are unsafe, food may have become your most accessible form of comfort. Dr. Marianne talks about creating emotional safety through self-soothing, sensory grounding, and compassion. When your nervous system feels supported, the intensity of binge urges begins to soften. From Control to Compassion Recovery is not about fighting yourself into change. It begins when you stop using control as protection and start practicing compassion. Dr. Marianne shares ways to replace critical self-talk with kind, curious reflection. Instead of saying “I have no willpower,” try “My body is asking for care.” That language shift helps rewire your nervous system to expect gentleness instead of punishment. Reclaiming Pleasure and Satisfaction Food is meant to be enjoyable, not a test of discipline. When you allow yourself to experience satisfaction without guilt, eating becomes calmer and more connected. Dr. Marianne encourages listeners to practice mindful eating, notice textures and flavors, and reconnect with the sensory experience of food. Pleasure is not indulgence; it is information that helps you understand what your body needs. Content Caution This episode includes open discussion about binge eating and emotional distress related to food and body image. Please listen with care and take breaks as needed. Who This Episode Helps This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in binge-restrict cycles or wants to understand the emotional roots of binge eating. It is also helpful for clinicians supporting clients with binge eating disorder, and for neurodivergent listeners who need a sensory-attuned and trauma-informed approach to recovery.

"how much space (the eating disorder) took up".  So true.What is your hunger?  This podcast is such an open eyer!!  Caroline is honest and open.And now recovered, she is out there helping.  We speak about having someone helping you who have been through it.  I agree.  Find someone who can associate with you.  If about nutrition, find a kind person.  Not a nice person, a kind person who will be honest with you.How to let got of your best friend and not so much your best friend.  Bulimia is a liar.  Food isn't.I love that she said that bulimia or any eating disorder is good, it serves a purpose.  I agree.  OCD, anxiety all are a part of this. This Podcast is so real.  Thank you Caroline!!  Love it. She recommends Life Without Ed.  I downloaded it as a Kindle.  Great book.  I can't write enough about this episode.  I  connected so well and I know you will.To find Caroline go to BE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

Send us a textRaj Khedun is the inventor of the 3:3 insomnia hack.  I asked what his inspiration was to follow this path.  He tells the story of when he was three years old.  It was in a library.  Two books he picked guided him more than any other books. One book was about dinosaurs.  He explains about how he was fascinated with evolving.  The other about planets.  He was fascinated by the colours, and the fact that Mars is empty, while next to it earth is full of life.School bored him, but fitness and sports kept him interested.  Raj said everything was handed to him as a young man.  He describes himself as arrogant.  Until his mother took him to India.  His arrogance took a slap.  It was when he met an avatar.  He explains it's a power incarnated into a human.  He goes on to share that this avatar said he brought him to India and knew everything about him.  His message to Raj is "you need to be humble, you need to listen to the voice within."  A smashing of his ego put him in his place and he had to face that.From 20 to 30 he went into "monk mode".  He thought about what one thing most people are missing is breath.  Breath is not air or oxygen, it is more;  light, electricity and magnetism.   Listen to find out more about how your breath can help you...You can reach Raj at https://33insomniahack.com/  BE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

Send us a textA quiet prayer sets the tone, then the truth rushes in. We sit with Concetta as she maps a childhood of tight control and big love, school years tangled by dyslexia and undiagnosed ADHD, and a relentless need to be seen that bloomed into bulimia and blackout drinking. No melodrama, just the kind of detail you only share when you're done hiding: raisins in the lunchbox while everyone else had Ding Dongs, a first drunk that turned into a public spectacle, and the way shame can feel like destiny when approval seems tied to your body and behavior.College offered freedom without guardrails. She gamed the system, outdrank everyone, and used her eating disorder to extend the party. An arrest exposed cracks her family tried to plaster over with treatment aimed at food, not booze. A fast-track marriage checked every box on paper—older attorney, big wedding, picture-perfect home—but left her starving inside. Motherhood brought a pause, then the restlessness roared back: secret affairs, a devastating choice, and the slow collapse of boundaries that once felt unbreakable.Then came the track. A racehorse named after her. A triple that hit. A pick six that nearly did. Gambling lit up the same circuits as alcohol and bulimia—risk, reward, attention, control—without the mess, until the mess caught up. Concetta's candor is the point: how control and shame can incubate addiction, how smart people make impossible choices, and how honesty can start to pry open a way out. We end on a cliffhanger—twenty-six arrests and four counties of probation—with part two on the way.If this story moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

You can grow revenue and still go broke. In this episode, Genea sits down with Kimberly Spencer to unpack a pattern most entrepreneurs don't see coming: money bulimia.  It's the cycle of bringing in more revenue while watching profits vanish, expenses pile up, and cash flow disappear.  Kimberly knows this pattern intimately because she lived it first with food, then with relationships, and finally with business.  She traced it back to childhood chaos, the need to control what felt uncontrollable, and a deep-seated belief that she didn't deserve to keep what she earned. This conversation goes beneath strategy and into the subconscious drivers that keep capable entrepreneurs repeating the same financial patterns over and over. You'll hear:

Send us a textEmma Lyons is a trauma informed healer and founder of the Trauma Matrix. Emma was very depressed as a child, the invisible kind of depression that nobody really sees unless they really look.  All her life she thought she was the problem. She says she was brought up with this idea there's something wrong with her. It wasn't until much later in life that she started looking at the family dynamic and started to recognize that her family is actually quite dysfunctional. She says her mom ticks a lot of the boxes of a covert narcissist. Also her family is very emotionally repressed. As a child she had no one to talk to apart from Google and was very lonely and very isolated.More recently she realized that dysfunctional and narcissistic families choose an individual, usually the most sensitive child, to be kind of the scapegoat. Emma explains you become "the landfill for all the unprocessed intergenerational trauma, shame, all kind of gets dumped on you and that can lead to a lot of internalized shame that's above and beyond what most people experience."She believes this shame is one of the one of the core drivers of self-destructive behavior.Emma feels that pretty much all the dysfunctions, including addictions, are because of this shame.  It's not like fear or anger because fear and anger are warning signs that something bad is could be around the corner. What she realized is that shame is a function of empire and it's about controlling people. "We're kind of gas lit in our society to believe that shame is somehow a good modifying behavior modifier. And it's absolutely not. When we shame people, people close in. They're less inclined to shame to change their behavior. So shame is actually does the opposite of actually changing. It makes people hide. It makes people less inclined to take responsibility." The inner narcissist, she explains, ticks all the boxes of the narcissist, but the call is coming from inside the house.  Unlike a narcissist doing it to you,  it does it to yourself, coming from inside the body, inside your brain. "And so it's not manipulating other people necessarily, although it does use triangulation." Emma helps people break up with shame. Her acronym is break. B R E A K.  Make sure to listen to find out what it stands for.You can follow Emma on all social media by looking up trauma.matrix.  She is also on Substack as trauma matrix - traumamatrix.substack.com. She has a free gift for listeners. "If you're raising your hand and thinking, "Wow, I resonate with this. I do have a lot of shame and this is a good word for it." I have a free gift for you guys. It's called five signs it's time to break up with your inner narcissist. And it's like a it's you're going to see yourself in this if you go through it. Um It's about five classic signs that you need to break up with your inner narcissist that like now is the time you can't wait. And it also gives you some strategies and tools about how to really make that happen.

Send us a text"A lot of times CEOs will just let a person go and not really kind of think about it and just kind of see what happened.  I let them know what's the cost of really digging in to see if there was a problem because man, if you can help them figure out what that problem is, that loyalty and that brand recognition of you were there for them at their lowest really stands out. So, I'm really trying to change a lot of the culture and the way that uh people will think in that method, especially when it comes to turnover with employees.""The crazy thing is you could actually quantify the cost is when they've gone through and done samples and studies on it, it's about two and a half to 2.8 times. So two and a half times that you're going through that cycle of a new employee. So if you have two employees leave, the average is you're going to go through five people to replace those two good employees. Think about all that time and that like training and all that you put into that. It's just not worth it when you can maybe coach up someone who's already there that you know has a history and a track record of performing for you and how we can get them back on track to where they were their best." "I highly suggest try this because it's it's really it's just brain science and neuroscience of how your brain works is pretty much on average the last 10 minutes before you go to sleep and then the first 10 minutes when you wake up your brain is still in a partial theta state which means you're highly suggestible your subconscious it's almost like you're talking to your subconscious and that is when you should be doing your affirmations talking about how you want your day to be. prime your brain of this is going to be a great day. I have so much energy. I've got this project or this presentation and I'm going to just like I this is how it's going to go. So in those 10 minutes before after you go to sleep, try to actively think of how that's going to go. How do you want it to go and like really like dig into the positives of that and I'm telling you what you will feel when you wake up the next morning." "Literally shame and humiliation are two of the lowest ranking range of emotions of it's the worst that you can feel about yourself.  So a great trick also that I can throw in is gratitude is the same part of the brain that processes the nasty emotions, anger, sadness, depression, frustration, fear, all those. And that part of the brain can only really those emotions at a time. So if you start feeling that overwhelm or the anxiety kick in or any of those things, and this is the big thing is be looking for it is once you feel that your stomach feeling that knot, kind of like you just almost have to stop and breathe for a second. As soon as you feel that try to again feel how grateful you are, like what's something you're grateful for whether it's your children, your parents, whatever it is for whoever what is something you can be truly grateful for." You can reach David at anotherangleconsult@gmail.com.

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.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Making sense of your eating disorder through psychological formulation If you're lost in the jungle of your eating disorder, without a map to guide you safely, you probably feel intense confusion and overwhelm. Why can't I just eat normally? Why the constant obsessions with food? What is wrong with me? You likely feel terribly alone. To begin to unravel the tangled ed vines that have wrapped themselves tortuously around you, and to shed some awareness and understanding of the complexity of the issue, therapists sometimes use the tool of psychological formulation. Psychological formulation aims to piece together the different parts of the jigsaw, to bring light and clarity. It provides a zoom-out perspective of the eating disorder, as a coping strategy. It peels back the different layers of the psychological onion offering insights and hope around change. In this episode, I explore a psychological formulation and how you can use this as a tool in therapy. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Send us a textConscious Love.  What is it all about?Christian grew up in Cuba and moved to the US, where he spent his time working on relationships and working with women's empowerment as well.What was his calling for this?  He felt he had had that feeling since he was a child.  He wanted to be a priest at a young age.  Shift in consciousness is how he sees his work.  His empowerment of women?  "We have been going so off course".  When women are 50% in power, we will have a strategically different focus.I ask about the overwhelm.  Trying to be in power while holding on to all the "motherhood" requirements is a huge responsibility.Trying to take control can make you lose control.Christian speaks of serving.  To neglect yourself is an act of arrogance.  He speaks it beautifully in being a tripod.  The book.  Conscious Love.  We haven't been trained about relationships.  HOW TRUE.  I love what he said, that it was unfair to put your happiness into someone else's life.Interesting view of his levels one, two, and three.  Listen to find out about that... but his number two is the juicy one. If someone is doing something that gets our goat, likely it is something we do ourselves.  I heard that so many times, and it's true.About Karma... It's not.  Christian, I believe, knows that things happen, and if you want love, it will come to find you.  Most people have been hurt, and then we close our hearts.  He said we can't close it selectively.  This is where forgiveness is so important.  It's about taking ownership of all aspects of our lives.  I like the "tearing up the poor me card".  Beautifully said.It begins with self-awareness.  Step one is to be most compatible with yourself.  Interesting to think of making sure to see the blind spots.Christian's books, Conscious Love, Transforming a Relationship to Relationships, and Awakening The Soul of Power, not about power, not pushing people down, are available on Amazon, your local bookstore, or reach out to Christian at soulfulpower.com.Wonderful guest.  Thank you, Christian, for taking your time to share your story.Support the show

Send us a textHilary Momberger Powers wants to send a message to this audience.  Recovered bulimic, but more so not leading with your wounds as a motivational speaker, life coach, and author.Hilary's mother was an anorexic, alcoholic, and drop-dead good-looking, and a Jackie Gleason girl.Now, with that being said, the daughter of the "Jackie Gleason Show" had to deal with this "having to give up her career for her children".And that her mother told her that she would never be as beautiful as her?  How could you not feel not good enough?  As the voice of Sally on Peanuts, she's living her trauma with the reptilian brain and has become a people pleaser.  From that, she became the bad girl.What a compelling story!  Some people think it is a good thing that parents want to get their children into show business with their connections.  Hilary says she loves her Mom, even after living in a foster home.  Listen to her words...Beautiful and open woman with her story and I am honoured to have had her on my Podcast because I could relate in so many ways about the people pleasing, the lies and the power and the people pleasing.  I didn't run away from home; my parents were not my reason. However, many stories on my Podcast, that's where it goes.  My issue was society, and back then our social media was not Instagram, or FB or... it was magazines... Cutouts on the fridge to be the Twiggy that her mother grew up with, that she has to reset what her mother couldn't.Bulimiaisms.  Love that word.  That is something recovered bulimics need to be aware of.  What activates?  Old coping mechanism.  Hilary, your story speaks volumes!  I loved relating to someone who knew at least some of what I went through, and you sharing your story!!  I feel you, and thank you.  I was honoured to have you on my Podcast.And finally, I love that you spoke about your senses. Very interesting.Hugs to you.  I aligned with you, and I hope my listeners do too.Find Hilary at www.hilarypowers.com, and she is on IG and LinkedInAnd check out her new book Peanuts to Percoset.  We have all had dark times.  I know for me as for Hilary, asking for help was the best solution.If you are in a spot where you are feeling well, remember you can become the best version of yourself.Support the show

Have you ever reached for food when you were stressed, lonely, or overwhelmed, only to feel guilty afterward? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, explores the guilt so many people carry around emotional eating and why that guilt does more harm than the eating itself. She shares how comfort eating has always been a part of human connection, memory, and regulation, and why diet culture has twisted it into something we're told to feel ashamed of. CONTENT CAUTION This episode includes discussion of emotional eating, guilt, diet culture messages, and eating disorder recovery. Please take care while listening and step away if you need to. WHAT'S IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE ON EMOTIONAL EATING Dr. Marianne discusses what she's noticed while eavesdropping at restaurants when people turn down dessert by saying they “don't want to be bad.” This everyday example highlights how morality gets tangled up with food, especially with foods that often bring us joy and comfort. Instead of labeling emotional eating as wrong, Dr. Marianne reframes it as information about what we need in the moment. Listeners will learn practical strategies for releasing guilt, including naming emotions before and after eating, shifting language around food choices, and building a toolkit of regulation strategies that includes but isn't limited to food. Dr. Marianne also speaks directly to neurodivergent listeners, offering sensory-based and executive functioning supports like low-lift eating, grounding practices, and compassion for how food can play an important role in daily self-care. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in the cycle of eating for comfort, feeling guilty, and then eating again to soothe that guilt. Dr. Marianne offers a liberation-based perspective, showing how every act of compassion toward yourself is also resistance to diet culture, fatphobia, and ableism. If emotional eating has ever left you feeling guilty, this conversation will help you release shame and see food as a source of connection, care, and freedom.

In eating disorder recovery, you'll be searching for the latest mindset hack or magic technique to miraculously propel you out of food obsession and into the land of peaceful eating. You're absorbing YouTube recovery content like it's a full-time job and following the progress of inspiring recovery warriors on socials. You might watch ‘What I Eat in a Day Content' on repeat, in a search of the perfect meal plan, so that your body can recover in the ‘right way'.  The ideal recovery fantasy is a thing! Perhaps you are fixated on healthy eating, bordering on orthorexia whilst searching for the plan that will transport you to recovery land, without having to embark on embracing your forbidden foods or anything that could contaminate your system. Sometimes you can search for every possible solution without returning to some of the basic and fundamental recovery practices. You're metaphorically rearranging the skidding deckchairs on the sinking Titanic, rather than addressing the core issue that's sinking you deeper into the sea. It is the boring and unsexy work of regular eating in eating disorder recovery. In this episode, I explore the importance of regular eating and how to practically put it into practice.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   To find out more about my work:- Go to my Website ONLINE COURSES - link to all courses HERE Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating - a course to help you heal your relationship with food.

Eating disorders hide in plain sight, often disguised as diet culture, fitness goals, or "healthy eating." But beneath these socially acceptable lifestyles lie deadly mental health conditions that claim more lives than almost any other psychiatric disorder.In this episode, we break down the clinical realities of various eating disorders while exploring the profound ways they impact both individuals and their loved ones. We examine anorexia's deadly grip and how it combines food restriction with a distorted body image so powerful that even severely underweight individuals see themselves as fat. The disorder's perfectionism and need for control create a psychological prison that's hard to escape.We discuss bulimia's binge-purge cycle, where out-of-control eating episodes are followed by compensatory behaviors like vomiting or excessive exercise.  We also discuss binge eating disorder and the lesser-known ARFID, which involves food restriction based on sensory issues rather than weight concerns.As you probably already know, these disorders can be incredibly hard on the family dynamic. Eating disorders transform dinner tables into battlegrounds and marriages into war zones. We cover strategies for supporting loved ones without enabling disordered behaviors, emphasizing the importance of family therapy and creating an environment that de-emphasizes weight and appearance.Whether you're worried about someone you love or seeking to understand these complex conditions better, check out KulaMind to get support and community around loving someone with eating disorders. Resources:Hannah, L., Cross, M., Baily, H., Grimwade, K., Clarke, T., & Allan, S.

Former tax lawyer Zarina Del Mar was working out twice a day, seven days a week—running in the morning, gym sessions midday, and CrossFit at night. She was chasing an impossible body standard while fighting her genetic baseline, until she realized she couldn't feel her own body anymore. In this Fitness Friday episode, Zarina explains how one movement session changed everything. We dive into the psychology of obsessive exercise, why GLP-1s are creating more problems than they solve, and how understanding your body's construction can replace the need to count calories forever. Zarina Del Mar is a fitness personality who transitioned from practicing law to teaching body awareness and sustainable movement practices to women worldwide. What we discuss: Her "Exercise Bulimia" Phase: Two Workouts Daily for Years The GLP-1 Problem: Fighting Your Genetic Baseline How One Movement Session Changed Everything Why Detailed Instructions Matter More Than Exercise Type The Plank Revolution: Feeling Your Fingers and Feet From Calorie Counting to Balanced Plates Forever Why Most Gyms Don't Teach You to Feel Your Body Thank you to our sponsor: Momentous: Shop this link and use code Jen for 20% off Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss both healthy eating and clinically recognized eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. I explain how brain circuits, hormones such as leptin and reward systems interact to regulate appetite, satiety and overall eating behaviors. I also discuss the serious health risks associated with anorexia, explain how disrupted eating habits contribute to its development and highlight evidence-based treatments for anorexia. Finally, I explore binge eating and bulimia, discussing the underlying causes and the pharmacological treatments commonly used to support recovery. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
