ADHD and eating disorders often overlap in ways that treatment misses. For adults with late-diagnosed ADHD, chronic restriction, binge eating, bulimia, ARFID, food inconsistency, and repeated eating disorder relapse may reflect more than fear of food or resistance to recovery. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne discusses how ADHD executive dysfunction, time blindness, hyperfocus, decision paralysis, sensory needs, emotional dysregulation, and difficulty recognizing hunger can interfere with eating disorder recovery. Knowing what to do does not always mean your brain can consistently organize and complete the steps required to do it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Learn why late-diagnosed ADHD can change how you understand a long-term eating disorder, including years of forgotten meals, accidental restriction, intense nighttime eating, rigid food rules, and difficulty maintaining progress after structured treatment ends. Dr. Marianne explains how missing meals can contribute to the binge-restrict cycle, why eating disorder rules may provide structure for an ADHD brain, and how food can support dopamine seeking, stimulation, comfort, and sensory regulation. She also discusses the grief and relief that may follow an adult ADHD diagnosis after years of being described as unmotivated, inconsistent, or resistant to treatment. ADHD, EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION, AND EATING Eating requires many executive-function skills. You must notice hunger, stop another activity, choose food, prepare it, tolerate the sensory experience, eat enough, and remember to repeat the process. ADHD can interrupt this sequence at several points. A person may understand their meal plan and genuinely want recovery but still struggle with task initiation, transitions, food preparation, working memory, or decision fatigue. When clinicians treat these difficulties as psychological resistance, they may overlook the accommodations that could make nourishment more accessible. LATE-DIAGNOSED ADHD AND CHRONIC EATING DISORDERS Many adults with late-diagnosed ADHD spent years compensating through anxiety, perfectionism, overachievement, or rigid routines. Food rules, calorie tracking, repeated meals, restriction, or compulsive movement may have provided organization and urgency when daily life felt chaotic. This does not mean ADHD is the only cause of a chronic eating disorder. Trauma, autism, sensory processing differences, weight stigma, chronic illness, food insecurity, and the effects of malnutrition may also contribute. Recognizing ADHD simply widens the treatment picture and helps explain why insight alone may not create lasting behavioral change. ADHD-AFFIRMING EATING DISORDER RECOVERY Dr. Marianne shares practical ways to reduce the executive-function burden of eating, including accessible convenience foods, visible snacks, grocery delivery, mechanical eating, body doubling, scheduled reminders, sensory accommodations, and low-effort meal options. Recovery does not have to look polished to count. Frozen meals, repeated breakfasts, phone alarms, snack baskets, preferred dishes, or eating with a familiar television show may all support consistent nourishment. The goal is not to make eating look conventional. The goal is to create an eating disorder recovery plan that works with your neurodivergent brain. WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR This episode is for adults with ADHD and eating disorders, people diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and anyone living with long-term anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or recurring binge-restrict cycles. Providers and loved ones will also benefit from understanding how executive dysfunction can be mistaken for a lack of motivation.

Send us Fan MailKelsey Buchalter cycled through hospitals, medications, and every conventional treatment psychiatry could offer for twenty years to treat anorexia, bulimia, and anxiety. None of it touched the underlying problem. What finally helped her was a single instruction from a nutritionist: eat only red meat and eggs for ten days.She is now a health coach at Ovadia Heart Health, and recently sat down with Dr. Philip Ovadia and Jack Heald on the Stay Off My Operating Table Podcast to trace the biological mechanism behind that shift and to challenge a premise that most mental health experts never question- that the mind can be repaired while the body remains inflamed and malnourished.She draws a sharp distinction between disordered eating and dietary intervention, one that has nothing to do with what's on the plate and everything to do with why it's there. Before psychology can do its work, biology has to be stabilized first, and for Kelsey, that meant confronting the idea that her mental illness was never a character flaw but a body in crisis.Kelsey is also a young singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, nutrition advisor, and host of The Human Theatre Podcast. Kelsey's music creates an intimate, soulful, and soft-pop ambiance and although her original music is her main focus, she does include selecting cover songs in her act. Kelsey is accompanied by her brother, Josh Buchalter who is the lead guitarist for popular 5-piece rock band Rock Steady.Find Kelsey at-IG- @kelseybuchalterPodcast- The Human Theatre PodcastTEDx Talk- Knowing Thy SelfFind Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!

Can you have anorexia and struggle with binge eating, too? If you find yourself moving between food restriction and binge eating, you may wonder whether your eating disorder has changed or whether you're somehow failing at recovery. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne talks about the binge-restrict cycle, why eating disorder symptoms can shift over time, and what it means when binge eating shows up during anorexia recovery. Binge eating after restriction does not automatically mean you have binge eating disorder (BED). Extreme hunger, reactive eating, subjective binges, and eating that feels out of control can all occur in the context of restriction and long-term eating disorder recovery. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Dr. Marianne discusses why restriction can make food feel increasingly urgent, why returning to restriction after a binge can keep the cycle going, and why subtle forms of restriction are easy to miss. She also explains why restriction may feel safer or more familiar than binge eating, especially for people who have lived with anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders for years or decades. For neurodivergent people with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, food restriction can also become intertwined with routine, sensory needs, predictability, executive functioning, autonomy, and nervous system regulation. You'll learn why binge eating doesn't erase a history of anorexia, why eating more isn't automatically evidence of BED, and why the goal isn't necessarily to determine which eating disorder you "really" have. BREAKING THE BINGE-RESTRICT CYCLE What happens after a binge or an episode of eating more than you intended matters. Skipping meals, delaying breakfast, cutting portions, avoiding certain foods, or exercising to compensate can restart the restriction-binge cycle. Instead, Dr. Marianne discusses returning to consistent nourishment, identifying hidden restriction, getting curious about what preceded the binge, and resisting the pull to romanticize anorexia when binge eating feels frightening. For people with chronic or long-term eating disorders, progress may mean recognizing the cycle sooner, reducing its intensity, and responding to difficult eating experiences without punishment or compensation. EATING DISORDER THERAPY & SUPPORT If you're navigating anorexia, binge eating, bulimia, ARFID, or a long-term eating disorder that doesn't fit neatly into one diagnostic category, Dr. Marianne offers neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, trauma-informed eating disorder therapy.

In this episode, I share a beautiful reflection written by a Brain over Binge Group member who is now living free after decades of bulimia. She captures in a profound way what it's been like to step out of the binge-purge cycle and discover the presence, peace, and ordinary joys that recovery makes possible. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late for you to recover, I hope these words will give you hope, help you believe that there is a way out, and inspire you to discover the life that is waiting for you beyond bingeing.

What happens when you've spent years working on eating disorder recovery, but anorexia or bulimia still shows up? Long-term eating disorder recovery can feel exhausting, especially when you understand your patterns but still struggle with restriction, bingeing, purging, compulsive exercise, or persistent food and body image thoughts. Knowing why something happens doesn't always make it easy to change. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores what it means to feel stuck in recovery from chronic anorexia and bulimia and shares five practical strategies for approaching long-standing eating disorder patterns differently. Through the fictional story of Tiana, a woman whose eating disorder has shifted between anorexia, bingeing, purging, and compulsive exercise over many years, Dr. Marianne examines how recovery can continue even when progress doesn't look dramatic. What You'll Learn You'll learn how to recognize eating disorder recovery progress beyond complete symptom elimination, identify smaller places to interrupt the binge-restrict cycle, and create an eating plan that actually works when your capacity is low. Dr. Marianne also discusses why persistent eating disorder behaviors may serve important functions, how neurodivergence can complicate eating and recovery, and why you don't have to feel completely ready before taking a recovery-supportive action. The episode includes practical strategies for mechanical eating, low-lift nourishment, binge eating and restriction, purging urges, compensatory exercise, body image distress, and getting back to regular eating after a difficult day. Chronic Anorexia & Bulimia Recovery Can Still Change Living with an eating disorder for years or decades does not mean every part of your recovery will always look the same. Sometimes getting unstuck means eating breakfast after a binge or purge instead of compensating. It might mean keeping easy foods available when executive functioning is low, eating lunch before extreme hunger hits, or recognizing that one difficult meal does not have to become a week of restriction. For people with ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence, eating disorder treatment may also need to account for sensory needs, interoception, hyperfocus, executive functioning, transitions, and nervous system regulation. Recovery doesn't always happen through one major breakthrough. Sometimes meaningful change starts with making the next recovery-supportive choice easier to access.

What if binge eating isn't a willpower problem at all? Dr. Marianne welcomes back nutritionist and eating disorder specialist Marcelle Rose @marcellerosenutrition, author of The Binge Freedom Method, for a conversation about binge eating recovery without dieting. Marcelle works with people experiencing binge eating, bulimia, restrictive eating, and emotional eating, and her approach looks beyond food to understand what may actually be driving these patterns. What You'll Learn Dr. Marianne and Marcelle discuss why dieting and restriction can fuel binge eating, how sleep and physiology can affect hunger and cravings, and why reducing shame matters in binge eating recovery. They also talk about body image, weight stigma, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust with food and your body. Marcelle shares the four pillars of The Binge Freedom Method: Nourish, Balance, Think, and Feel. Her framework incorporates nutrition, physiology, thoughts and beliefs, emotions, and body image rather than treating binge eating as simply a problem of self-control. Check out a free chapter of the book HERE! ADHD and Binge Eating A major focus of the conversation is the connection between ADHD and binge eating. ADHD can make eating consistently difficult, especially when executive functioning challenges, distraction, overwhelm, or hyperfocus interfere with recognizing hunger and stopping to eat. Marcelle and Dr. Marianne discuss practical ADHD-friendly strategies such as simplifying meals, eating familiar foods, using reminders, creating flexible routines, and reducing the cognitive load around breakfast and meal planning. They also discuss why support and accommodations can matter more than rigid expectations when neurodivergent people struggle to eat regularly. Binge Eating, Body Image, and Food Freedom Recovery involves more than stopping binge eating. Marcelle shares how clients can gradually move away from self-blame, chronic dieting, and the belief that they simply need more willpower. You'll also hear about body image healing, weight stigma, diet culture, regular eating, self-compassion, and what it can look like when food finally takes up less space in your mind. If you struggle with binge eating disorder, emotional eating, ADHD and binge eating, the binge-restrict cycle, chronic dieting, or body image, this conversation offers a compassionate alternative to another diet.

ZuZu shared insights about the body's autonomic nervous system, explaining how people can shift from "confined" to "free" states by asking curious questions and feeding their gut bacteria with diverse fiber. She recommended specific products like Sun Fiber and discussed her work at Lily Field Center in Hawkinsville, Georgia, where she runs retreats and offers holistic health services.

Drawing on more than three decades of experience, Andrew explores how our experiences and conditioning can shape the way we think, feel and behave, often without us even realizing how deeply those patterns have become embedded.Our conversation looks at the possibility of moving beyond simply managing behaviours and instead becoming curious about what lies underneath them. Andrew's approach to personal change offers an interesting perspective for anyone who has ever wondered why certain patterns can feel so difficult to break and how greater self-understanding can help us move toward a freer and more authentic life.Connect with Andrew Parr Website: https://andrewparr.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewparr.realyou/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-parr-54230118/ Book: The Real You: How to Escape Your Limitations and Become the Person You Were Born to Be by Andrew Parr, published by Penguin Life.More information about Andrew, his work and The Real You can be found on his website:https://andrewparr.org/Support the show

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder. People often suffer in silence as it's not a visible condition and there is much shame and secrecy associated with the illness. In this episode, I do a deep dive into bulimia, sharing 9 surprising facts about the disorder. Time slots: 1. 0:51 The restrict/binge/purge cycle. 2. 2:59 Emotional pendulum. 3. 5:03 The habitual nature. 4. 7:49 Not feeling good enough. 5. 9:34 Splitting - the shiny outer and hidden shadow. 6. 12:06 Physical complications. 7. 14:18 When you don't binge, but purge. 8. 14:58 First diagnoses of bulimia. 9. 15:46 Isolation and shame.  

Could GLP-1 medications play a role in treating bulimia or binge eating disorder? In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Paige Gordon and psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lutter about Paige's personal experience using a GLP-1 medication for treatment-resistant bulimia, and why researchers are beginning to explore the neurobiology of binge eating.Paige shares how years of therapy and medication never quieted the overwhelming binge urges that drove her bulimia. After hearing someone describe their experience on a podcast, she began exploring GLP-1 medication and saw a profound change in her urges and eating patterns. Dr. Lutter adds the scientific context, including genetic findings that may help explain why some people with binge eating or bulimia respond strongly to GLP-1 medications.They cover:How Paige's bulimia began and why standard treatments didn't fully helpWhat “food noise” felt like in her lived experienceWhy GLP-1 medications may affect appetite, reward pathways, and binge urgesHow genetics may help identify who responds to GLP-1sWhy eating disorder treatment needs more precision-focused researchThe risks of using GLP-1 medications in people with restrictive eating disordersWhy stigma keeps many people from discussing this treatment openlyThis conversation explores an emerging area of eating disorder research with hope, caution, and a clear need for larger clinical trials.

Tina has done so much healing, and her question becomes: when is recovery “enough”?In this conversation, listener Tina shares a recovery story that will feel deeply familiar to many listeners: years of restriction, calorie counting, binge eating, fear foods, food obsession—and then a long, thoughtful climb toward something much steadier.She's no longer trapped in the binge-restrict cycle. Food doesn't dominate her life the way it once did. She can eat fear foods. Enjoy social meals. Loosen the rules. And yet…She still has some food noise. She still loosely knows the numbers. She'd still happily snap her fingers and lose a few pounds. So does that mean she's not really recovered? Or is this what recovery actually looks like for many people, not perfection, but a sustainable middle ground?In this episode, we talk about the so-called “messy middle” of recovery, the pressure to achieve perfect food freedom, and why all-or-nothing thinking can sneak into healing just as easily as it sneaks into dieting.In this episode, you'll hear: Whether “fully recovered” is even a meaningful or realistic standard  Why the internet's version of recovery can sometimes create unnecessary pressure  The difference between disordered eating and normal human imperfection  When calorie awareness is useful, and when it becomes a problem  Why some structure can support recovery instead of sabotaging it  The difference between occasional overeating and binge eating  How perfectionism can distort your expectations of healing  Why recovery may be less about arriving somewhere and more about ongoing flexibility  How to decide whether your current relationship with food is actually costing you anything This is such an important conversation for anyone who has ever wondered:If I still stress about food sometimes… am I doing recovery wrong?Because maybe healing isn't about becoming a perfectly intuitive, salad-in-a-meadow person.Maybe it's about building a relationship with food that gives you your life back.New to the show?

What happens when things are actually going well—and your brain immediately starts waiting for something to go wrong?In this episode, we talk about emotional confidence: the ability to trust yourself with change, uncertainty, disappointment, and even happiness. You'll hear why bracing for future pain doesn't protect you from it, how recovery involves learning to tolerate normal variation rather than trying to keep life perfectly steady, and why confidence is often built by remembering what you've already survived.We also explore the difference between recognizing a helpful “tailwind” and slipping into a restrictive famine mindset, how to treat body weight as information rather than a verdict, and why there is no making up for yesterday—there is only taking care of yourself right now.This week's experiment: choose one emotion you're still learning to handle without eating, restricting, numbing, or escaping, and practice telling yourself, “This is a feeling I'm building confidence with.”New to the show?

Does it matter whether your eating disorder therapist has personally recovered from anorexia or bulimia? In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I explore that question from two perspectives: as an eating disorder therapist and as someone who spent about 25 years navigating anorexia, binge eating, orthorexia, bulimia, compulsive exercise, and the long road to recovery. Lived experience does not replace professional training, and professional training does not require lived experience. Both forms of knowledge have value. In this episode, I share how my personal recovery has shaped my clinical work and why that perspective can be especially meaningful for autistic people, ADHDers, AuDHDers, and other neurodivergent adults recovering from anorexia and bulimia. What You'll Learn You'll hear five lessons that have transformed the way I understand eating disorder recovery. We discuss why what appears to be resistance is often nervous system overwhelm, how to tell the difference between neurodivergent traits and eating disorder symptoms, why shame rarely creates lasting recovery, how safety supports sustainable healing, and why recovery ultimately becomes about building a meaningful life instead of simply eliminating symptoms. Why Neurodivergent People Often Need a Different Recovery Conversation Traditional eating disorder treatment does not always account for sensory processing differences, executive functioning challenges, autistic burnout, ADHD, interoceptive differences, or the ways trauma and neurodivergence can intersect with anorexia and bulimia. In this episode, I explain why understanding your nervous system can make recovery feel more compassionate, more realistic, and more sustainable. Rather than forcing yourself to fit a rigid recovery model, you can begin building an approach that respects both your neurodivergence and your recovery goals. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia, bulimia nervosa, chronic eating disorders, or long-term restrictive eating. It's also for autistic adults, ADHDers, AuDHD adults, highly sensitive people, therapists, dietitians, parents, caregivers, and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder treatment.

Although the course focuses on ARFID, many of the concepts also apply to neurodivergent people recovering from anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders.

One unplanned food choice can quickly turn into “I already blew it, so I might as well keep going.” In this episode, Georgie explains why eating-because-I-ate urges are a form of pain-relief eating: food is used to escape the guilt, fear, or disappointment caused by the previous eating.You'll learn how to interrupt the loop with a simple response, and why dietary imperfection is a skill worth practising. Georgie also shares practical steps for stopping the escalation without restricting, compensating, or turning one imperfect moment into an entire day of eating.In this episode:Why one off-plan choice can trigger more eatingHow guilt and shame fuel the urgeWhat “damage control” actually meansWhy compensation makes the cycle worseHow to practise dietary imperfectionWhat to do in the moment when “might as well” appearsFor coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

In this episode, we're talking about pain relief urges: the urge to eat because something hurts and food feels like the fastest way out. That pain might be physical, emotional, or both stacked together — and food may genuinely offer comfort for a little while. But comfort is not the problem. Cost is the question.We'll look at how to tell when food comfort stays low-cost versus when it turns into a high-cost binge, and how to build a wider comfort plan that includes physical care, sensory soothing, connection, movement, expression, and support from other people. Because pain is a normal part of life, but you don't have to meet it with only one tool.This week's experiment: look back over the last seven days and notice what kinds of pain or discomfort showed up most often. If you used food for comfort, ask how much it cost you — then build a lower-cost comfort plan with at least two options, one of which can be food if you feel confident keeping it reasonable.For coaching, visit confidenteaters.com.

Autopilot urges happen when your brain recognizes a familiar scene and says, “This is when we eat,” or “This goes with food.” These urges can show up as snacking, grazing, emotional eating, or a full binge before you feel like you've really chosen anything.In this episode, we'll look at why certain places, activities, times of day, and transitions can trigger automatic eating patterns. We'll talk about why these urges often appear when we're stressed and want to check out, or when we finally relax and want to stop putting effort into anything.We'll also explore why separating food from entertainment can help you enjoy both more. When eating happens on autopilot, you may consume the food without actually receiving much pleasure or satisfaction from it.This week's experiment: choose one automatic eating script, such as TV and snacks, road trips and candy, or after-dinner sweets. Name the script, ask whether the activity would still be good without the usual snacks in tow, and audition one guardrail — a new choreography, substitute, or environmental change — to help your brain practice a different route.For help with binge eating recovery, visit confidenteaters.com.New to the show?

In binge eating recovery, many people believe they should be able to keep every food in the house, eat every food casually, and handle every food environment without support. But recovery is not about proving you can do everything the hard way.In this episode, we talk about guardrails: practical supports that make desired behaviors easier and reduce the setups that tend to make eating feel chaotic. Guardrails might include buying smaller portions, putting certain foods out of sight, using a Kitchen Safe, asking for help at home, planning food when traveling, or choosing the conditions that make a tricky food feel calmer.You'll learn why guardrails are not the same as bans, why needing support does not mean you're failing, and how to tell the difference between a supportive guardrail and punitive restriction.New to the show?

What do you see when you look in the mirror, and what story have you been telling yourself about your body? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle steps into one of the most personal conversations she has ever had on the show, drawing from her own experience with disordered eating to offer a spiritual perspective on what it means to pursue genuine freedom in the body. Speaking not as a clinician but as a Bible teacher, Lisa identifies two specific ways we stay stuck, and the one question from John 5 that cuts to the heart of it all.  Please note: this episode contains a trigger warning for eating disorder content, including specific discussion of behaviors. It is not recommended for young or developing children.

In this episode, we're talking about exhaustion urges: urges to binge, graze, order food, snack compulsively, or keep eating when your system is depleted and food starts to look like the fastest available relief.Instead of focusing mostly on what to do once you're already too exhausted to care, we're moving upstream. Exhaustion urges often start earlier than the urge itself, when your battery is being drained by skipped breaks, overpacked schedules, under-planned recovery, travel, big events, and pushing through when you are already under-resourced.You'll learn how to use the Battery Check, why breaks work best before you desperately need them, how to tell growth discomfort from depletion, why rescheduling can be a recovery skill, and how to use the simple in-the-moment tool Get Horizontal when you're already below 20%.New to the show?

Opie roasts Ron's Bette Midler mug and triggers a full meltdown into Opie's disgusting college dating disasters — bulimic girlfriends, vomit breath makeouts, Red Lobster regret, and one girl who gave his hand “bad breath” for a 7-hour drive. Plus city pools are literal fecal soup, Mamdani's suit-pool stunt, turtle soup Fourth of July, and way too much chlorine chemistry. Classic Opie & Ron chaos.

In this episode, we're looking at restriction urges: the urges that say, “Get it while you can.” These urges are often not just about hunger or cravings. They are scarcity alarms. Sometimes the scarcity is physical, like not eating enough or going too long without food. Sometimes it is psychological, like food rules, guilt, or the feeling that you are technically allowed to eat something but still shouldn't want it. Sometimes it comes from the threat of future restriction: “Tomorrow I'll be good,” “After this weekend I'm stopping,” “I need to drop a few pounds before vacation,” or “This is the last time.”The main question from this episode is: “What am I afraid there is not enough of?” Maybe the answer is food, satisfaction, dessert, time, pleasure, freedom, permission, comfort, choice, or rest. Once you can hear the scarcity signal, you can respond with reliable permission instead of more control.New to the show?

If eating still feels overwhelming after years of living with anorexia or bulimia, you're not alone. Long-term eating disorders often make every meal feel mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting, even when you're deeply committed to recovery. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, eating disorder therapist Dr. Marianne Miller shares five practical, compassionate strategies to help reduce eating overwhelm, manage food anxiety, and make meals feel more manageable. If you're recovering from anorexia, bulimia, or another long-term restrictive eating disorder, this episode offers realistic tools that support sustainable recovery instead of perfection. Why Eating Can Still Feel So Hard Many people believe eating should feel easy after years of recovery work. In reality, long-term anorexia and bulimia often leave behind deeply ingrained patterns involving the brain, nervous system, and learned responses to food. Dr. Marianne explains why eating can continue to feel overwhelming long after someone decides they want recovery, and why those struggles do not mean you're failing or doing recovery incorrectly. Five Practical Ways to Reduce Eating Overwhelm Dr. Marianne walks through five strategies that can help make meals feel more manageable. She discusses how breaking eating into smaller, achievable steps can reduce overwhelm, why simplifying food decisions conserves mental energy, and how shifting your definition of success away from comfort can support long-term healing. She also explores ways to support your nervous system before and during meals and explains why consistency matters more than striving for the perfect recovery day. Recovery Is Built One Meal at a Time When you've lived with an eating disorder for years, it's easy to believe that every difficult meal means you're moving backward. This episode offers a different perspective. Recovery rarely happens through dramatic breakthroughs. More often, it develops through ordinary moments of choosing nourishment, returning after setbacks, and continuing to practice recovery skills even when eating still feels difficult. Those small decisions add up over time and become the foundation for lasting change. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia, bulimia, chronic restrictive eating, or long-term eating disorders who continue to feel overwhelmed by meals. It's also helpful for family members, loved ones, and clinicians who want to better understand why eating can remain challenging even after years of treatment and recovery work.

Bingeing can be painful and costly, but it often persists because it is doing a job.Not working because it is harmless or because you want to keep doing it, but because it may have been doing something important for you. Bingeing may provide relief, comfort, rest, numbness, pleasure, rebellion, privacy, or a way to get through moments that feel impossible.In this episode, we look at bingeing as a coping strategy that may have helped you survive, especially if it began when you were young and had fewer choices. The goal is not to romanticize bingeing, but to understand what need it has been meeting so you can begin meeting that need earlier, more directly, and with less harm.New to the show?

The First 60 Seconds: Don't Let the Urge Become a Story (The Urge Proof Life — Episode 4)There's a tiny moment when an urge first appears—before the binge, before the “might as well,” before the story starts writing itself. In this episode, Georgie explains why the first danger often isn't the urge itself, but the meaning we attach to it: I can't handle this, I already know how this ends, I'm going to binge.You'll learn the “two waves” of an urge: the first wave is sensation, and the second wave is interpretation. The skill in the first 60 seconds isn't to make the urge disappear or diagnose it perfectly, it's to meet it with boring neutrality: “This is an urge. That's all. It'll be here for a while, and then it will leave.” From there, you can choose one small support, and later use the Urge Map if needed.Try this week: Practice the boring sentence three times when an urge appears. You don't have to stop eating, solve the urge, or do anything perfectly. Just notice what happens when you decline the story.New to the show?

Stop Arguing With Your Cravings: A Conversation with Dr. Glenn LivingstonThis episode is a rare guest conversation on Breaking Up With Binge Eating. Georgie is joined by Dr. Glenn Livingston, psychologist, author, and creator of Defeat Your Cravings, for a wide-ranging conversation about binge eating, cravings, food rules, self-trust, and why insight alone often isn't enough to change an eating pattern.Glenn shares his own history with compulsive overeating, including how years of therapy and self-understanding helped him become kinder to himself, but did not automatically stop the binge eating. Together, Georgie and Glenn explore why emotional pain can be part of the picture without being the whole cause, how the brain can use old wounds as justification for continuing a pattern, and why clear lines or “guardrails” can sometimes reduce the mental negotiation that keeps cravings alive.They also talk about the modern food environment, hyper-palatable foods, intermittent fasting, perfectionism, self-forgiveness, and why it is often easier to prevent cravings upstream than to fight them once they are roaring. Glenn offers practical tools for identifying the thoughts that try to talk you into eating against your own best judgment, while Georgie brings in her perspective on under-eating, over-productivity, emotional needs, and the importance of responding to both hunger and fullness cues with care.A key theme in this conversation is that recovery does not have to be built on shame. You can aim clearly without attacking yourself when you miss. You can protect your recovery without making your life smaller. And you can become someone who takes your own needs seriously, even when that means being a little “weird” in public, packing food, skipping the dessert you don't want, or refusing to harm yourself with food for someone else's comfort.Try this week: Notice one craving or urge and write down the thought that tries to justify it. Is it futility? Permission? “I deserve this”? “I'll start tomorrow”? Then ask: what would actually support me here?You can learn more about Dr. Glenn Livingston and access his free resources at DefeatYourCravings.com.New to the show?

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.
