The takeaway: drive and pleasure can decouple. That's why food can feel magnetic even when it's not actually delivering much satisfaction.Georgie also walks through three common reasons wanting can run hotter than liking: cues and habit loops, scarcity, and stress or depletion. You'll learn how to use a not worth it list, a pleasure check, and the concept of diminishing returns to interrupt the trance of “more will fix it.”Try this week: Pick one risk food or one risk time when wanting tends to get loud. If you eat, pause partway through and ask: “Am I actually liking this, or am I chasing relief?” If liking is low, try one re-route action from your urge map: nourishment, soft landing, soothing, permission with structure, or breaking a cue chain.Coming next: What to do in the first 60 seconds of an urge—before it escalates and before you start negotiating with yourself.

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.Show Notes: In this episode, Georgie gives you a practical “urge map” to answer the question that matters in real life: what kind of urge is this? Because the same pantry moment can come from very different mechanisms—and if you use the wrong tool, it's easy to assume you “did it wrong” when you were simply solving the wrong problem. The core skill is matching the tool to the mechanism.You'll learn five common urge types and what each one actually needs: the Low-Fuel urge (under-fueling—food that counts), the Depletion urge (low capacity—less load and a soft landing), the Pain Relief urge (emotional or physical discomfort—soothing and often connection), the Scarcity/Rebellion urge (restriction and “I can't” energy—a believable yes and permission with structure), and the Autopilot urge (cue chains—pattern interruption, not self-criticism). You'll also get a quick five-question check-in to identify what's driving the urge in the moment, plus concrete examples of “permission with structure” and simple ways to break an evening cue chain.Try this week: Pick your most common urge type and run one experiment for seven days—data, not a test. (Afternoon anchor snack; a 10-minute downshift after dinner; a two-word feeling label + one moment of contact; a planned “yes” with structure; or breaking one link in your autopilot routine.)Coming next: Why urges can feel so persuasive even when the eating isn't that enjoyable—wanting vs liking.

You show up. You succeed. You keep functioning. Meanwhile, food, eating, body image, or restrictive behaviors may quietly consume an enormous amount of mental and emotional energy. In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores the hidden reality of high-functioning eating disorders and why so many people get overlooked simply because they appear “fine” from the outside. This conversation examines how anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other restrictive eating patterns can exist inside people who maintain careers, relationships, caregiving roles, and daily responsibilities. Dr. Marianne also discusses why perfectionism, masking, executive functioning challenges, and neurodivergence can make eating disorders harder to recognize and harder to treat. Why High-Functioning People With Eating Disorders Get Missed Many people assume eating disorders only become serious when someone visibly falls apart. This episode challenges that belief and explores how people with eating disorders often continue functioning at a high level while struggling privately with food obsession, body image distress, binge eating, restriction, compulsive exercise, or sensory-based eating challenges. Dr. Marianne discusses how high-functioning individuals often minimize their own suffering because they are still meeting expectations at work, school, or home. She also explores how healthcare providers, loved ones, and society frequently overlook eating disorders in people who do not fit narrow stereotypes. Neurodivergence, Executive Functioning & Eating Disorders This episode also explores the connection between neurodivergence and eating struggles. Dr. Marianne discusses how ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, and executive functioning challenges can complicate meal planning, eating consistency, food variety, hunger awareness, and nervous system regulation. You'll hear discussion around low-lift eating, food predictability, sensory-safe foods, masking, and the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly pushing through internal distress while appearing capable on the outside. Intersectionality & Invisible Struggle Dr. Marianne also examines how anti-fat bias, gender expectations, neurodivergence, and other intersecting identities shape who gets believed, diagnosed, and supported. Many high-functioning people spend years feeling dismissed because they do not look like the stereotype of someone with an eating disorder. This episode highlights why eating disorders deserve attention long before someone reaches a visible crisis point. Recovery Support for High-Functioning Eating Disorders Dr. Marianne shares compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming approaches to recovery that reduce overwhelm instead of increasing pressure. She discusses building supportive structure around eating, reducing friction with meals, reconnecting with internal cues, and allowing support into areas of life that may have stayed hidden for years. If you've ever thought, “I'm still functioning, so maybe it's not that bad,” this episode is for you.

In this season opener, Georgie reframes urges as signals, not commands, and explains why urges get so loud when pressure rises and capacity drops. You'll learn why the goal isn't to eliminate urges, but to keep them from escalating.This episode also tackles a common trap: the belief that you have to binge to make an urge go away. In reality, urges can rise, peak, and pass without a binge—and bingeing often creates more urges by reinforcing the relief loop and adding extra pressure afterward (shame, fear, compensation thoughts, and scarcity). You'll also learn what fuels escalation in the moment—panic language, negotiating, future-tripping, shame/secrecy, and all-or-nothing thinking—and how to step out of that spiral.You'll get a simple four-step “first move” for any urge: label it (“signal, not order”), use neutral language (“uncomfortable, not dangerous”), take a small pause to restore choice, and ask what the urge is actually asking for (food, rest, relief, connection, or predictability).Try this week: Catch and label three urges. Don't make it a test of whether you eat—just reduce escalation by 10% and treat it as data, not a verdict.Coming next: Episode 2 builds your Urge Map—how to identify what kind of urge you're having and match the tool to the mechanism.

In this episode, Beka shares why structured elimination diets can be transformative for both physical and mental health — especially for those struggling with binge-purge cycles, food addiction, body dysmorphia, and other eating disorders. She challenges the mainstream “intuitive eating only” approach used in many treatment programs and highlights stories of radical healing through whole-foods elimination protocols and carnivore eating.Beka emphasizes that the body wants to heal when given the right conditions, and that food directly impacts brain chemistry, mood, and even psychiatric symptoms. She stresses this is not medical advice and encourages listeners to trust their own experience.Why many people feel worse on intuitive eating (bloating, fatigue, anxiety, constant food noise)The mind-body connection: How nutrient deficiencies (like B12) can mimic serious psychiatric and neurological conditions, including symptoms misdiagnosed as MSTwo powerful elimination diet approaches:Vital Mind Reset (Dr. Kelly Brogan): A 30-day paleo-style whole foods protocol + 3 minutes of daily meditationCarnivore Diet: Meat, salt, and animal products only — especially helpful for severe food sensitivities, addiction, and autoimmune issuesHow elimination diets create safety in the nervous system and allow repressed trauma/emotions to surface and healThe “masculine energy initiation” of setting protective boundaries with foodInspiring recovery stories: Reversal of bipolar, PTSD, fibromyalgia, Graves' disease, Alzheimer's, brain cancer, stage 4 ovarian cancer, MS symptoms, severe anorexia, and bulimiaKey TakeawaysNot all foods are equal — some trigger inflammation, cravings, and psychological symptomsThe body can heal itself dramatically when processed foods, sugars, and common irritants are removedHealing eating disorders may require temporary structure, not constant access to “forbidden fruit”30 days can give you undeniable evidence of what your unique body needsWeight regulation often happens naturally once the body feels safe and nourishedYou are capable of showing up for yourself — this can rebuild self-trust and agencyResources MentionedDr. Kelly Brogan's Vital Mind Reset (program + randomized controlled trial on depression) - outcomes: https://www.kellybroganmd.com/outcomes?fb590fe2_page=8PubMed study on the Vital Mind Reset protocol - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7346300/Carnivore diet recovery stories (YouTube interviews linked in full show notes)Alzheimers: https://youtu.be/uOCXQn2xJHA?si=y14LcvaDuhy6ELTUBrain Cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnGVhVrXNVMOvarian Cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoEmCwTMDX8Another Ovarian Cancer spread to spine/kidneys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5UOwyYBMfEMS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxw832nmMyA&t=1304sStudies - Keto:Anorexia: https://journalofmetabolichealth.org/index.php/jmh/article/view/84/254Binge Eating: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6988301/Interviews with women who healed severe anorexia/bulimia through carnivoreAnorexia: https://youtu.be/C75SjgX7joI?si=Nor67Y2xRt5V0n_pAnorexia & Bulimia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kU0WfQCF5bwMaggie the Rancher – 65 years carnivoreSoul Huddles – Free weekly community Zoom calls (Sundays) - www.bekeaelle.com/coaching#soul-huddles1:1 Coaching & upcoming group membership with Beka www.bekaelle.com/contactI am not a doctor and this should not be treated as medical advice.

If eating feels chaotic, unpredictable, or hard to keep up with, especially with ADHD, there are real reasons for that. This episode breaks down why eating can feel all over the place, not because you are doing something wrong, but because your brain is being asked to manage a process that depends heavily on executive functioning, timing, and regulation across the entire day. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores the connection between ADHD, binge eating disorder, and bulimia, including how impulsivity, dopamine, and executive function challenges shape eating patterns in ways that are often misunderstood. You will hear why eating may feel easy to delay and then suddenly urgent, why follow-through can feel inconsistent, and why this pattern is not about willpower. ADHD and Eating Disorders: Why Eating Feels So Chaotic Eating regularly requires more than hunger. It depends on time awareness, task initiation, decision-making, and the ability to shift attention. ADHD directly affects these processes, which means eating can feel disorganized, delayed, or unpredictable. This episode explains why chaotic eating patterns often reflect executive function challenges, not a lack of effort or care. Impulsivity, Dopamine, and Binge Eating Impulsivity in ADHD is not just about acting quickly. It reflects differences in how the brain pauses and redirects. When binge urges show up, they can feel immediate and intense. At the same time, dopamine differences in ADHD can make food a fast and effective way to shift focus, regulate emotions, or create relief. This episode explores how these systems interact and why food can become a powerful regulator. Executive Function Challenges and Follow-Through With Eating Executive function challenges can make it harder to plan, prepare, and initiate eating, even when you want to. You might forget to eat, delay eating, or feel overwhelmed by decisions. This episode breaks down how these patterns develop and why eating consistency is not just about intention, but about access to executive functioning in real time. Restriction, Glucose, and Intensified ADHD Traits When eating gets delayed or inconsistent, even unintentionally, glucose levels can drop. This affects the brain's ability to regulate attention, impulses, and emotions. Lower glucose can intensify ADHD traits, making it even harder to initiate eating or pause during urges. This episode explains how this cycle develops and why it can feel so hard to interrupt. Why This Is Not About Willpower Chaotic eating patterns are often framed as a lack of discipline, but this episode reframes them through a neurodivergent-affirming lens. When your brain is under-fueled and your executive functioning is stretched, it makes sense that eating feels harder to manage. Understanding this can reduce shame and open up more supportive approaches. Related Episodes Midlife Bulimia Recovery: Coping With the Internal Chaos on Apple and Spotify.

Not because it's quick or simple, but because binge eating and emotional eating aren't random or a personal flaw—they're understandable system responses to pressure, depletion, and the search for relief. This episode reframes what real progress looks like: not dramatic turning points, but quieter shifts—more time between binges, shorter spirals, urges that don't hijack you the same way, and hard days met with steadiness instead of punishment. You'll hear a new definition of progress (“what happened next?” and “did I reduce pressure anywhere?”), a compassionate way to understand setbacks as data (pressure exceeded capacity), and a framework for moving from self-surveillance to self-understanding. If you take one thing from this finale, let it be this: you're not failing—you're learning a pattern that responds to understanding, steadiness, and support. You're allowed to keep learning at your own pace, and you don't have to do it alone. 

The term "self-harm" is an umbrella term, encompassing a broad range of behaviors, under which is included substance abuse and misuse, suicide, nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and even eating disorders. In this episode, Dr. Katie Gordon, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Fargo, North Dakota, discusses the prevalence of self-injury among individuals with eating disorders and the prevalence of eating disorders among those who self-injure. She explains the relationship between the two behaviors, including common risk factors.  You can purchase Dr. Gordon's book The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook: CBT Skills to Reduce Emotional Pain, Increase Hope, and Prevent Suicide on Amazon here.  Below are links to some of Dr. Gordon's research as well as resources referenced in this episode: Kiekens, G., & Claes, L.

Long-term anorexia and restrictive eating are often missed, misunderstood, or minimized—especially when they don't match the stereotype. Anorexia can occur in all body sizes, yet many people in larger or mid-sized bodies go undiagnosed or unsupported for years. If restriction has been part of your life for a long time, this episode offers a different path forward—one that centers harm reduction, flexibility, and real-life support instead of all-or-nothing recovery. What Is Long-Term Anorexia and Restrictive Eating? Long-term anorexia, sometimes referred to as chronic anorexia, involves persistent patterns of restrictive eating that can last for years or decades. These patterns may ebb and flow over time, often influenced by stress, life transitions, health changes, and systemic pressures. Restrictive eating disorders do not always look extreme or obvious, and they are not defined by body size. People in all bodies can experience serious restriction, even when others fail to recognize it. Anorexia Exists in All Body Sizes Weight stigma continues to shape how anorexia is diagnosed and treated. Individuals in smaller bodies are more likely to receive early intervention, while those in larger bodies are often overlooked or even praised for restrictive behaviors. This creates significant barriers to care. Restrictive eating in any body is valid, serious, and deserving of support. The body does not become protected from the effects of restriction based on size. Why a Harm Reduction Approach Matters in Eating Disorder Recovery Harm reduction is a powerful and often underutilized approach for long-term anorexia and restrictive eating. Instead of focusing only on complete symptom elimination, harm reduction prioritizes reducing risk, increasing nourishment, and improving quality of life. This approach is especially important for people who feel stuck in all-or-nothing cycles or who have not found traditional recovery models accessible or sustainable. Strategy 1: Shift From Cure to Harm Reduction Recovery does not have to be all-or-nothing. Shifting from a cure mindset to a harm reduction mindset allows for meaningful progress without perfection. This might include eating something instead of nothing, shortening long gaps between meals, or building in one consistent eating time each day. These changes reduce risk and support stability over time. Strategy 2: Use Mechanical Eating to Support Consistency Mechanical eating is a structured approach to nourishment that does not rely on hunger cues. Long-term restriction can disrupt hunger and fullness signals, making intuitive eating difficult or inaccessible. Eating at regular intervals can support metabolic stability, reduce restriction cycles, and provide a foundation for more consistent nourishment. Strategy 3: Expand What “Enough” Means Restrictive eating often comes with rigid rules about portion sizes, food types, and timing. Expanding what “enough” looks like can happen gradually. Increasing portions, adding foods, or building on safe meals can support progress without overwhelming the nervous system. “Enough” is flexible and can evolve over time. Strategy 4: Support the Nervous System Around Eating Eating is not just behavioral—it is sensory, emotional, and neurological. For many people, especially those who are neurodivergent, food experiences can feel overwhelming or unpredictable. Supporting the nervous system may include creating a consistent eating environment, reducing sensory input, or pairing meals with regulating activities. When the body feels safer, eating becomes more accessible. Strategy 5: Challenge Weight Stigma in Eating Disorder Care Weight stigma plays a major role in delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment for long-term anorexia. Recognizing that anorexia exists in all bodies is essential for effective care. Challenging these biases—both internally and within systems—can open the door to more accurate support and validation. The Reality of Long-Term Eating Disorder Recovery Long-term anorexia and restrictive eating often involve periods of improvement and periods of increased struggle. These shifts are part of the process and do not mean failure. A harm reduction approach allows for flexibility and adaptation as life circumstances change, supporting ongoing care instead of restarting from scratch.

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.The morning after a hard night of eating can feel heavy—physically and mentally—and it's easy for your brain to start reaching for a “fix”: skipping meals, tightening rules, stepping on the scale, promising to be “very good” today. In this episode, Georgie explains why compensation usually turns into overcompensation, and how that swing adds more pressure to an already unsettled system—making another binge more likely. Instead, this episode lays out a stabilizing approach: listen to your body, return to regular meals, and treat the aftermath with steadiness rather than correction. You'll hear a simple framework for “the morning after” that starts with body stabilization (predictable nourishment, hydration, sleep, gentle care), then mental stabilization (language that keeps choice online—“pressure exceeded capacity” instead of “I blew it”), and finally emotional stabilization (safety and connection instead of shame and isolation). Try this: After a hard eating episode, do nothing dramatic. Eat your next meal, drink water, rest, and get curious about what increased pressure—not how to redeem yourself.

If you have ADHD and struggle with bulimia or binge eating, it may not be about willpower at all. It may be about dopamine, impulsivity, and a nervous system that has been trying to regulate itself the only way it knows how. In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with psychiatric nurse practitioner Kirsten Book to unpack the often-missed connection between ADHD and eating disorders. We move beyond surface-level explanations and into what is actually happening in the brain, including how dopamine dysregulation, executive functioning challenges, and emotional intensity can drive patterns of bingeing, restricting, and purging. ADHD and Bulimia: The Dopamine Connection Kirsten shares her lived experience of recovering from bulimia and being diagnosed with ADHD later in life. She describes how starting ADHD treatment shifted everything. Instead of feeling constantly out of control, she experienced something many people with ADHD and eating disorders rarely feel, which is a pause. A moment to decide what to do next. That shift in impulsivity and regulation can be a turning point in recovery. We break down how ADHD affects dopamine regulation and why the brain begins to seek out stimulation through food. Binge eating, restriction, and purging can all increase dopamine in the short term, which reinforces these patterns even when they create long-term distress. Why ADHD Gets Missed in Eating Disorders Many people, especially girls and women, are never screened for ADHD. Instead, they are diagnosed with anxiety or depression. This episode explores how untreated ADHD can show up as emotional dysregulation, difficulty focusing, chaotic eating patterns, and a constant sense of being overwhelmed. Kirsten explains why comprehensive screening matters and how identifying ADHD can completely change the direction of treatment. When ADHD is addressed directly, many people experience a reduction in binge eating urges and a greater sense of stability with food. Executive Function, Impulsivity, and Eating Patterns ADHD affects the brain's executive functioning, including planning, organization, and follow-through. This makes consistent eating much harder than it looks from the outside. Skipped meals, irregular eating, and impulsive food choices are not random. They are connected to how the brain manages energy, attention, and motivation. We also talk about interoception and why people with ADHD may feel disconnected from hunger and fullness cues. This disconnection can lead to both undereating and overeating, creating cycles that feel confusing and hard to interrupt. The Role of Dopamine in Binge Eating and Restriction This episode offers a clear explanation of how different eating disorder behaviors interact with dopamine. Binge eating and highly palatable foods can create a surge in dopamine, reinforcing cravings and compulsive eating. Restriction can also increase dopamine in a different way, which helps explain why it can feel rewarding even when it is harmful. Over time, these patterns can change how the brain responds to reward, making it harder to feel regulated without them. Understanding this helps reduce shame and opens the door to more effective, targeted support. ADHD Treatment and Eating Disorder Recovery We talk through how psychiatric medications can support both ADHD and eating disorder recovery. This includes the role of stimulants, SSRIs, and other medications in improving impulse control, emotional regulation, and the ability to follow through with consistent eating. Kirsten also addresses common concerns about medication, especially for parents. She emphasizes the importance of asking questions, understanding risks and benefits, and approaching treatment with openness rather than fear. Medication is not the only tool, but for many people, it creates the stability needed to fully engage in recovery. This Is Not About Willpower If your eating feels chaotic, impulsive, or out of control, there may be more going on beneath the surface. ADHD changes how the brain processes reward, attention, and regulation. When that is not understood, eating disorder behaviors can become a way to cope. You deserve support that looks at the full picture, including your brain, your nervous system, and the ways you have learned to get through the day.

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.This episode is about the moment before things fully blow up—not the binge itself, and not the morning-after panic, but the point where you start to feel… off. When your schedule changes (weekends, travel, illness, late nights, company), the day can lose its scaffolding and pressure quietly accumulates until eating starts to feel urgent and chaotic. You'll learn why “anchors” matter—regular meals, transitions, and small rhythms that reduce uncertainty—and what to do when those anchors disappear. The core tool is helping the day “land” more gently: creating one clear pause where forward motion stops, nothing urgent is required, and choice can come back online. You'll also hear practical examples of what that landing looks like (sitting down to eat, plating food, taking five quiet minutes, changing clothes to mark a transition, deciding when the day is done) and how to use as many small pauses as you need—because staying steady on a disrupted day isn't about discipline, it's about responsiveness. Try this week: On the first day you notice the slide starting, don't try to “reset perfectly.” Choose one small anchor and one landing pause, and treat it as support—not a test.

Not all eating disorders follow a short or linear recovery path. For many people, anorexia and bulimia become long-term, shifting over time rather than disappearing. In this episode, Dr. Marianne explores why eating disorders become chronic, how symptoms can wax and wane across life stages, and what this means for recovery, support, and understanding your nervous system. This episode offers a deeper look at chronic eating disorders, including the roles of nervous system regulation, trauma, neurodivergence, and environmental stressors, while challenging the idea that long-term symptoms reflect failure. Why Do Eating Disorders Become Chronic? Many people search for answers to why anorexia and bulimia become long-term. This episode reframes that question by focusing on function rather than blame. Eating disorders often persist because they provide structure, predictability, and a way to regulate overwhelming internal states. Dr. Marianne explains how anorexia can create a sense of control and stability, while bulimia can help discharge emotional intensity and reduce distress. Over time, these patterns become deeply learned and reinforced, making them more automatic, especially during periods of stress or uncertainty. Chronic Eating Disorders Change Over Time A key theme in this episode is that chronic eating disorders are not static. Symptoms often wax and wane depending on life circumstances, developmental stages, and stress levels. Periods of stability may bring some quieting of symptoms, while transitions, uncertainty, or increased demands can lead to intensification. Dr. Marianne explores how both micro-stressors, such as daily overwhelm, and systemic stressors, such as financial strain or societal pressures, can influence the presence and intensity of eating disorder behaviors. This perspective helps reframe symptom shifts as a nervous system response, rather than a personal setback. The Role of the Nervous System in Long-Term Eating Disorders Chronic anorexia and bulimia are deeply connected to nervous system regulation. Eating disorder behaviors can shift emotional states, reduce overwhelm, and create a sense of safety when other forms of support are not accessible. This episode explains why behavior-focused approaches alone are often not enough. Without alternative ways to support regulation, the body will often return to familiar patterns that have provided relief in the past. Understanding this connection is essential for long-term change. Trauma, Neurodivergence, and Chronic Eating Disorders This episode explores how trauma and neurodivergence intersect with long-term eating disorders. Eating disorder behaviors can help manage trauma-related distress by creating distance from overwhelming emotions or offering a sense of agency. For neurodivergent individuals, including those who are autistic or ADHD, eating patterns may also be shaped by sensory needs, routine, and predictability. What is often labeled as rigidity can be understood as an adaptive response that helps maintain equilibrium in an overstimulating or unpredictable world. Why Eating Disorder Treatment May Not Stick Many people with long-term anorexia or bulimia have engaged in treatment multiple times. When symptoms return, it can lead to frustration or self-blame. This episode offers a different perspective by highlighting how treatment may not always address the underlying functions of eating disorder behaviors. Dr. Marianne discusses how approaches that focus only on symptom change, without addressing nervous system needs, lived experience, and environmental context, may not lead to sustainable shifts. This insight helps explain why eating disorders can persist even when someone is deeply committed to recovery. Rethinking Recovery for Chronic Eating Disorders Recovery from chronic eating disorders does not have to follow a rigid or time-limited model. This episode introduces a more flexible framework that centers on understanding function, increasing support, and expanding options over time. Dr. Marianne explores how recovery can include harm reduction, gradual change, and nonlinear progress, while still being meaningful and valid. This approach allows for a more compassionate and sustainable path forward for individuals living with long-term anorexia or bulimia.

High achievers are often seen as disciplined, driven, and successful. But behind that external competence, many people are navigating intense internal pressure, perfectionism, and a deep disconnection from their bodies. In this episode, Dr. Marianne explores why high achievers are more vulnerable to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, and how these patterns are often hidden in plain sight. You will learn how perfectionism, control, and chronic stress shape eating disorder behaviors, why anorexia and bulimia can feel regulating in the short term, and how high-achieving identities can make recovery more complex. Dr. Marianne also shares from her own lived experience with bulimia, where overexercising functioned as a compensatory behavior, and how her relationship with food and her body shifted over time. High Achievers and Eating Disorders: Why Anorexia and Bulimia Often Go Unnoticed High achievers are less likely to be identified as struggling, even when eating disorder behaviors are present. This section explores how achievement, productivity, and external success can mask anorexia and bulimia, allowing patterns to continue without recognition or support. Perfectionism and Eating Disorders: The Link Between Control, Anorexia, and Bulimia Perfectionism plays a central role in both anorexia and bulimia. Learn how rigid standards, fear of mistakes, and performance-based self-worth contribute to restriction, binge eating cycles, and compensatory behaviors like overexercising. Anorexia vs Bulimia: How Eating Disorders Show Up in High Achievers This episode breaks down how anorexia and bulimia can present differently while serving similar functions. Understand how restriction, rigidity, and control show up in anorexia, and how cycles of eating and compensatory behaviors, including overexercise, show up in bulimia. Chronic Stress, Nervous System Activation, and Eating Disorders High achievers often operate under sustained stress, which can disrupt hunger cues, increase rigidity, and contribute to cycles seen in anorexia and bulimia. Learn how nervous system regulation plays a key role in understanding and healing eating disorders. Neurodivergence, Sensory Needs, and Eating Disorders Many high achievers are also neurodivergent. This section explores how sensory processing, executive functioning differences, and a need for predictability can intersect with anorexia and bulimia, shaping eating patterns and recovery needs. Intersectionality, High Achievement, and Eating Disorder Risk The pressure to achieve is not experienced equally. Dr. Marianne explores how systemic factors, identity, and marginalization can increase vulnerability to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Eating Disorder Recovery for High Achievers: Moving Beyond Control Recovery does not mean losing your drive or ambition. Learn how to build a more flexible, sustainable relationship with food and your body while maintaining your strengths as a high achiever.

In this episode, we talk about why calm can feel unfamiliar when effort has been your survival strategy—and how real recovery looks more like stabilization than intensity.We'll break down what stability actually means (predictability, not perfection), why stability lowers urges and reduces escalation, and why many people fear stability because it can feel like “losing control.” You'll learn the three pillars that support steadiness—consistent nourishment, predictable rhythm, and humanizing your standards—plus a practical reframe: choose the simplest support plan you can repeat most days, the one that's “crappy-day proof.”

In this episode, I'm joined by Mel Nelson, a qualified counsellor, Senior Counsellor at an eating disorder charity (SWEDA), and autism-informed practitioner, to discuss the intersection of undiagnosed neurodiversity, compulsive exercise, and eating disorder behaviours.Mel spent over 25 years working in the dance and fitness industry before retraining as a counsellor, and she brings together a really rare combination of lived experience and professional expertise. We got into some really honest territory in this one, and I think so many of you are going to hear yourselves in this conversation.In this episode, we cover:Why bulimia stays hidden for so long (and the shame that keeps it that way)The "fitting in" feeling and why it can make an eating disorder so hard to spotHow neurodivergence and eating disorders can look so similar from the outsideWhy routine isn't always just a neurodivergent thing (and how to tell the difference)What compulsive exercise and purging have more in common than people realiseThe late diagnosis that changed everything, and why it's never too lateWhy recovery sometimes has to start with the smallest of changesConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Mel via her website (newday-counselling.co.uk) or Instagram (@newday_counselling)⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, compulsive exercise, bulimia, depression, and neurodivergence.

In this episode, we focus on what to do once the urge is already here—so you reduce escalation instead of making it worse.In this episode, you'll hear the key reframe that an urge is not an order—it's a signal, why fighting, shaming, arguing, or “just giving in” often escalates urges, and what actually fuels escalation (all-or-nothing thinking, “if I start I won't stop,” negotiation, and future-tripping). I'll walk you through a simple protocol—Pause, Change Context, Choose the least-pressure next step—along with neutral language that keeps your thinking brain online. We'll also cover how to eat in a more regulated way if you do choose to eat (seated, plated, with a check-in partway through), and what to do after urge-driven eating so you don't accidentally make the next urge stronger.All Access: Want more support between episodes?

In this episode, Georgie talks with Mehek Mohan, cofounder of Kahani, an app designed to offer personalized, on-demand support for eating disorder recovery, and Elena, who uses the app in her own recovery and helps guide its development.You'll hear how Kahani aims to lower cognitive load on hard days through check-ins and tailored activities, why a nonjudgmental space can help when shame is loud, and how the app navigates the common “weight loss vs. binge/restrict” trap without turning into diet culture in disguise.In this episode, we talk about:Why urges can spike during transitions and at night—and what “in-the-moment” support can look likeThe relief of having somewhere to “get it out” without feeling like a burdenElena's take on shame and silence—and why repeated disclosure to loved ones can sometimes backfireHow Kahani's check-ins and personalized activities are designed to reduce cognitive loadWhat makes the app feel more “recovery-literate” (ED-specific language + that “quasi recovery” middle space)The “I want to lose weight but I'm stuck in binge/restrict” dilemma—plus an example of how the app respondsGuardrails: why Kahani isn't a replacement for treatment, and how it's meant to augment supportMehek's personal “why” for building this, and how they're iterating based on user feedbackLinks & resourcesLearn more about Kahani: https://getkahani.com/georgieImportant noteThis episode is educational and supportive, not medical advice.

Dr. Jeffrey DeSarbo is a neuropsychiatrist and eating disorder specialist who draws on decades of clinical experience to examine the realities of modern-day eating disorder treatment. His insight on the evolution of ED treatment is derived from working at all levels of care, including hospitalization, residential, PHP, IOP and private practice. He discusses the evolution of treatment professionals, treatment centers, the expansion of virtual care, the insurance and monetary climate, and the increasing pressures placed on patients, families, and clinicians alike.Eating disorder care has changed dramatically over the past decade, but not all change is progress. While not dismissive of progress, Dr. DeSarbo does not shy away from difficult truths. This is an open, thoughtful dialogue grounded in clinical experience, research, and advocacy with an emphasis on placing patients and families at the center of the conversation rather than professional comfort or institutional balance sheets of the current state of eating disorder care, how it has changed over the past decade, where we are today, and where we may be headed with AI and super intelligence.This discussion also examines how clinicians are trained, where education succeeds, and where it falls short. It addresses the growing tension between research, clinical practice, and real-world outcomes, and openly acknowledges the role that financial and structural incentives can play in shaping treatment systems.

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.So many people believe: “Once I lose weight, I'll finally feel calm around food.” In this episode, we unpack why that belief often backfires—turning food into a high-stakes performance, increasing stress and rigidity, and making emotional eating and binge eating more likely. We'll also explore a stability-first approach: lowering pressure first so eating can become steadier, calmer, and more consistent.In this episode, we cover:How weight loss becomes a “permission slip” for rest, ease, and self-trustWhy dieting pressure doesn't create consistent healthy living—it creates swingsEmotional eating as relief (“I need a break”) vs binge eating (“I can't hold this together anymore”)The trap of making peace conditional on being smallerA simple weekly exercise to get what you want without putting weight loss in chargeWant more support?If you want to go deeper, check out All Access—my paid subscription where you can hear real coaching sessions (shared with permission) and the practical conversations that help people move from distress to stability with food.  Join at georgiefear.com/podcast (or subscribe right in your podcast app).

But binges don't come out of nowhere—they come out of pressure.In this episode, we zoom out and name two beginnings:the day-to-day start (quiet pressure, depleted capacity, emotional eating, guilt, tightening control), andthe long-ago start (early dieting messages, unfairness about who “gets” food, and what kids learn about being lovable and acceptable).You'll also hear why chronic pressure can make it hard to find a “first domino”—and what to do instead.This week's practice: Pick one recent binge or near-binge and gently rewind the tape:Where did pressure start to rise?Where did I start muscling through instead of supporting myself?Where did guilt add fuel?Want in on the All-Access episodes?

In this episode, we slow that moment down and explain why loss-of-control eating is a predictable state shift that shows up more often under stress and restriction. You'll learn what's happening in your brain and body—and how to interrupt the spiral without needing perfection.What we coverWhat “loss of control” really means (it's about the internal experience, not just quantity)The 4 forces that create the “brakes gone” feeling:Food as relief: your brain predicts food will helpScarcity thinking: “I shouldn't / I can't / I'll make up for it later”Body vulnerability: under-fueling, fatigue, stress, depletionThe switch-flip thought: “I blew it / might as well”How stress-amplifying thoughts (“I don't have enough time,” “this is too much”) fan the flamesA core strategy for relief: Turn to people, not food (connection lowers pressure)Tools you can try this weekStabilize your baseline: consistent, adequate meals earlier in the day (especially if nights are hard)Plate + Pause (for risk moments): eat your first portion normally, then pause 30–90 seconds and ask, “What do I need right now?”Remember: every binge has ended—you can influence when it ends next time. Any interruption counts.Coming nextWe'll zoom out to how these patterns form over time—and where the cycle actually starts.Work with me: Coaching details are in the show notes.

Restricting food to fix binge eating is like using gasoline to put out a fire. It just won't work! In today's episode, I sit down with Amber Romaniuk to explore the root causes of binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction that most people completely overlook. Amber shares how low progesterone triggers insatiable cravings by disrupting your hunger signals and mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters, why candida and parasites hijack your brain to demand constant sugar, and how unworthiness created in childhood keeps you trapped in self-sabotage cycles for decades.  We explore practical solutions such as hormone testing, building energetic boundaries as an empath, healing your inner child, and stopping the all-or-nothing perfectionism that makes every diet backfire.   "Once you heal and have your power back, nothing externally influences you anymore. Nothing. You're free." ~ Amber Romaniuk   In This Episode: - From childhood trauma to eating disorders - Root causes of bulimia and binge eating - How parasites and candida drive cravings - Why women struggle with self-sabotage - Unexpected triggers to binge eating - How diets make eating disorders worse - Tools to start your healing journey - Working with Amber and Body Freedom Program   Products & Resources Mentioned: Body Freedom Program: Book a complimentary 30-minute Body Freedom consultation at https://amberapproved.ca  Free Eating Behavior Quiz: Available at https://amberapproved.ca  Bon Charge Blue Light Blocking Glasses: Get 15% off when you use code WENDY at https://boncharge.com Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get an exclusive deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Visit https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Amber Romaniuk: Amber Romaniuk is an expert in emotional eating, digestive health, and hormones, with 12 years of experience helping high-achieving women build body confidence and optimal health through mindset healing and overcoming self-sabotage with food.
