Podcasts about bulimia

Struggling with bulimia in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond? You're not alone. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores what bulimia can look like in midlife, why the internal chaos may actually intensify with age, and how to approach healing without shame. We dig into the unique emotional and physiological challenges of recovering from bulimia later in life, including how hormonal shifts, grief, caregiving roles, and long-term masking can impact eating behaviors. Dr. Marianne also unpacks how neurodivergence—especially autism, ADHD, and PDA—can intersect with bulimia symptoms, intensifying binge-purge cycles and making traditional recovery models inaccessible or even harmful. You'll learn why your body's responses make sense, how to regulate your nervous system with neurodivergent-affirming strategies, and what it actually takes to move toward healing—on your terms. WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE Why bulimia often resurfaces or intensifies in midlife How midlife stress, identity shifts, and cultural stigma contribute to internal chaos The link between bulimia, sensory overwhelm, and emotional regulation How neurodivergent traits like executive dysfunction, masking, and interoceptive challenges affect eating behaviors Why shame-based approaches don't work—and what actually helps Practical, compassionate tools for managing binge urges, purging, and nervous system dysregulation Why recovery in midlife is not only possible—but deeply liberating THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF... You feel stuck in a binge-purge cycle despite years of effort You're neurodivergent and traditional ED treatment hasn't helped You've been quietly struggling with bulimia in midlife and feel alone in it You want recovery tools that are sensory-attuned, autonomy-affirming, and realistic

Valuable insights can be understood through James Clear's work, which talks about three levels of behaviour change. This can be applied to eating disorder recovery. James is the author of the best-selling book, Atomic Habits which has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend that you do. He describes three levels of change: - 1. Outcomes 2. Processes 3. Identity Arguably, sustainable change will only occur with a deep shift in identity. I explore these themes more in this podcast episode.

Send us a textVery inspiring guest.  Dr. Sharnael was so humble and beautiful.  We connected to the point that we actually shared so many emotions of recovered adults with eating disorders.This woman was one of the most heartfelt guests I have had in sharing about being in ministry, and I loved that we are all teachers, that there are no teachers.  I understood that.  We can learn from others, but it is about you being your own teacher to heal and take care of yourself.Dr. Sharnael wants to do everything.  I can totally relate because I did until I found my peace.  I still want to do everything, but my peace side tells me to slow down.  :)Her book, The Science of Miracles that speaks to the energy belt of a human.  I agree with this.  Bodies have two functions... what goes out and what comes in.  And it's about DNA, thoughts, words, feelings, and the heart is the biggest magnet.  What we think about, what we talk about, everything brings it into that field.I asked if it was okay that I am okay that some people come into my field, and others I will move away from.  Dr. Sharnael explains this. Why I may have felt this.Dolphins and animals like dogs have a huge field.  Some humans, however, can have inverted fields, and they take from someone else.  Even plants do this, and you can see it on camera!!What a wonderful guest, speaking about being bulimic as well, and the signals that still come up after recovery.  Absolutely worth a listen to if you are struggling with bulimia or an eating disorder, not just for her experience, but also for her big heart in wanting to make sure she can help others.Beautiful guest.  We did cry together during this podcast, so make sure to pull out the tissues!I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Sharnael and you can find her at www.drsharnael.com, and you can also visit her Podcast at https://www.drsharnael.com/true-tvThank you, Dr. Sharnael, for being a heartwarming and heartfelt guest.Support the show

Who doesn't want to lose weight in 2025? Go onto your local high street in the UK and ask the first twenty people meandering your way, this potent question and I can guarantee that 95% will say a resounding yes. This will probably be true for people of all weights, shapes and body sizes. Because losing weight and pursuing thinness hold incredible social value in society. And there is a ton of stigma about being in a larger body. But can you pursue weight loss without screwing up your mental health?

Send us a textIt was wonderful having Amy Vincze on my show.  I had heard about tapping and I even indulged in it shortly but wanted to know more.I found it intriguing that Amy spoke to all children as if they were narcissists.  I tended to disagree, until I understood what she meant.  As children, it is about us.In late college, Amy became bulimic... she was soothing herself from not knowing who she was.  For years she had no clue what was causing it.  At 31 she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It was not genetic.  So she wondered why she would have it.  Why me? in curiosity, she asked herself.Amy found this amazing tool with a friend.  What is the tool?  Tapping.This is truly interesting and I highly recommend listening to.Thank you, Amy, for sharing this!Coming out of no longer feeling unlovable.You can reach out to Amy by going to www.soarwithtapping.com, and you can check her Soar With Tapping app by going online to your app store, or you can find her by simply Googling Soar With Tapping.Honoured to have had Amy as a guest.Support the show

‘I can't possibly be hungry; I've only just eaten,' is a phrase I have heard many a time in the therapy room. When you've overridden your body's signals unwittingly to well-meaning diet and wellness plans, it's no surprise that trusting hunger can feel like a dubious phenomenon. Feeling hungry may even feel downright wrong and shameful. You associate hunger with greediness and impulsiveness. You forcefully push the feeling down again and again. Unsurprisingly, you're no longer attuned to your body's signals. It's a jumbled knot. What is hunger? What is emotion? What is something else entirely? You don't know. This episode dives into hunger and helps you to reconnect with your body again. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

You might assume that eating disorders are mostly a young person's predicament, tangled up with puberty, exams stressors and the turbulent transitions of entering adulthood. And yes, young people are extremely vulnerable to struggling with food and body image concerns, but eating disorders impact people of all ages, and this shows up in the therapy room with clients from 16 to 70 years old (I work with adults mainly). This podcast talks specifically about some of the triggers behind eating disorder development post 40 years and some of the unique challenges and perspectives seen by the more mature person.

Healing your inner child can be a valuable step in your recovery journey. But what exactly does this mean? Inner child work is a process of recognising, understanding, validating and healing emotional wounds that you experienced in your childhood and that continue to unconsciously impact your adult life. If you are experiencing challenges in your adult relationships or with regulating your emotions, then it's highly likely that you have some inner child work to do. It's true for most of us. This episode dives into inner child healing. What is it? How to do it? The benefits of this work. I hope that you find it helpful.

Your mindset can make or break your healing journey. With 60,000 plus thoughts per day swirling through your mind and many being repetitive, you can see the power of your thoughts to potentially affect your mood and behaviour. Repetitive thoughts can become entrenched beliefs, which create habits, which ultimately shape your life. As Lao Tzu aptly said: - ‘Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny'. Your thoughts can be hugely impactful in your eating disorder recovery. In this episode, I explore practical tips to support you on your journey. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

As a recovered bulimic, I am deeply fascinated by the psychology of this eating disorder. The interest goes way beyond the surface symptoms and food focus. Although I stopped binge eating and purging over twenty years ago, it has been an ongoing healing journey to work on the deeper psychology which plays out in relationships, self-worth and emotional regulation. As eating disorder recovery is a holistic healing process. It's not just about food. Symptom removal is an invaluable step in the right direction, but true healing runs far deeper. When I think about bulimic behaviours, these are not only restricted to people who binge and purge through vomiting. The following patterns are also relevant: Normal eating and purging. Chewing and spitting. Binge eating and over-exercising. Binge eating and restriction. Any pattern is relevant that follows the ingestion and expulsion cycle. If you are neurodiverse, particularly if you have ADHD, you may find that the themes I talk about are even more amplified for you. Before, I dive in, as always, I am generalising here, and your experience may not fit neatly into my observations. Always value your own truth and take what is helpful and ignore that which does not resonate with you). I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

Her story is one of strength, transformation, and radical self-love.Together, we explore her journey of reclaiming balance between masculine and feminine energies, her passion for guiding women through healing, and what it takes to integrate wellness in the modern world, especially while juggling multiple roles.In this episode, we dive into:The healing power of yoga beyond the matHow to embrace both softness and strengthWhat balance looks like in business, motherhood, and self-careTanja's story will remind you that no matter how far off track you feel, there's always a way back to yourself, and sometimes that path starts with a single breath.

How do you know if you have a healthy relationship with food and your body? This is an acutely challenging question to answer, as the culture normalises extreme eating practices and body image preoccupation as the norm. Maybe you feel that you don't have a full-blown eating disorder or you're not thin enough to properly struggle with food? I would argue that is your eating is causing you distress, it may be worth taking a closer look at it. In this podcast, I'm going to explore different disordered eating behaviours and then suggest some thoughts about what a healthy relationship with food might look like. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

Intermittent fasting (IF) is wellness cool again. Its benefits are celebrated widely on many a credible health podcast and it consistently trends on social media, described as an elixir to youth and offering benefits such as improved memory, blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, fat loss and autophagy. What's not to love? IF involves eating during specific time windows and there are various ways to practice this. The less-intense approach involves a 12-hour fast and 12-hour eating window, whereas, more hardened fasters might restrict their eating, to only 8, 6 or even 4 hours. Alternatively, you may also have heard of the 5:2 diet, popularised by the late Dr. Michael Mosley, where fasters eat ‘normally' for five days of the week, whilst fasting on the remaining two (limiting calories to less than 800 on the fasting days). Like most wellness practices, fasting is a tool. For some people it is life enhancing and for others not so. In this episode, I explore IF as a tool and how it can interlink with eating disorders and disordered eating. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html  

In this deeply personal episode of Ditch the Binge, Renae shares the unexpected moment—during mile eight of a half marathon—when she realized she no longer identifies as bulimic. After over a decade of battling food, body image, and the shame that came with it, Renae reflects on how recovery slowly, quietly took root until one day… it just wasn't who she was anymore.She opens up about the years of bingeing and purging, the treatment programs, the obsessive research, and the painful identity that felt like it would always define her. But through consistent, messy, and unglamorous work, she found freedom.This episode is a raw, hopeful reminder that change doesn't always come in dramatic before-and-after moments—it builds quietly. And one day, without realizing it, you might just wake up and realize you're not who you used to be.Perfect for anyone in recovery, stuck in an identity they want to outgrow, or wondering if lasting change is really possible...Get Renae's book HERE.Follow her on IG here.Visit her website HERE.

Send us a textTim Thomas is the man who is passionate about sleep!  Tim likes candles to create a space because two people speaking in it brings healing.  We shared the story of my cow that Dad had gifted me.  I bought a new one and I travel with it.  And Tim asked me where I felt this.  I showed it to be in my heart.  He said it creates balance.   As long as it's not like a "Wilson" , per se. (The movie Cast Away).So to sleep.  Speaking to how bulimia was a problem for me to have a peaceful sleep.  Tim shares that he said he couldn't sleep and they "threw a pharmacy at him".  He lost a lot of memories with the pharmaceuticals, and he shares that there is no one who can share how to get off of them.Simple breath work changes your brain work.   Not meditation, breath work.He spoke about messing up the enemy's sleep when he was in Afghanistan.  "If you want to destroy someone, destroy their sleep.  If you care, care about their sleep."  Sleep is like the soil of a tree.Tim sits in a place that is just behind all the things you really want - all the energy you ever want.Tim shares that he is two people.  The one with a lack of sleep - not so nice, and the other person who gets enough sleep well - nicer, doesn't eat as much, and stronger for investing in "this vessel".Tim is a breath worker.  He shares this with others.  It is what helps you become stronger and empowered.  Tim offers his app to people who struggle with sleeping, which helps with this breath chemical override.  He has breathwork at night and breathwork when waking up in the morning.Interesting that I spoke to my anxiety and did not know why.  Tim explained that I am high stimuli, so a stand-up desk with a stepper or something to keep me moving would help.  Being upright, or on a treadmill, would help with my anxiety.  It would help with my anxious energy.  So Tim shared the experience of breath with me and my listeners, and I said "I do" three times.  I never thought I would say "I do again" after my first marriage. :)  But this was worth it.  Saying "I do" to my own self three times.  I hope my listeners do this exercise.  It was very enlightening.We are electrical energy.  Hunching over pinches off our nerves and energy supply.  This I know and am aware of; however, on a daily basis, I forget, become aware, and forget again.The breath of possibility - hold on to it and bring it on.  Turbo buttons are your index and middle fingers pressing against your thumbs and work as a circuit breaker.  Breaks the rumination (over thinking) by using this and breath.Breath of Peace is where you need to be in a safe place.  You do the same breath techniques, but you wriggle it.  Interesting that Tim said our tension is often what we feel supports us.  Breath and relaxation with a chair, will allow your support. One thing to change your life and sleep - check this out.And then...  Tim shared with us how to find his app and contact him.Here is his email to me to help you find him. :)These links are for immediate and natural sleep improvement; They're my company's online resource called - The ‘Breathwork in Bed' app. The app will guide you to sleep with peace and out of bed with power. What's more is that we are currently GIVING AWAY 28 days free sleep.

Send us a textI can't tell you what a revealing Podcast this was.  Kat is wonderful.   Great guest.I was intrigued.  What is a Family Constellation Facilitator?  Who is this host of Healing with Kat?  Who may speak to my intrigue about past lives and future lives?  Healing when you have an eating disorder, or any disorder, is important to find a good person to help you, and you need a person who resonates with your belief in how you can overcome bulimia.This "future" and "past" self was interesting, because although I am always questioning my beliefs and thoughts of what is real and true and unexplainable, I met my ex-husband at 18 on my birthday, and went and told my friend I met my future husband.  7 years later, we were married.  15 years after that, we were divorced, and with 3 children.  I never ever thought I would marry, have kids.  I wanted to be single my whole life.  I am single now, and no regrets for what-ifs.  And I literally married that guy, I said was my future husband.  And a fun fact.  When I first saw him, it was like I had known him my whole life.  Or another life?  I always wondered.This is where I love Kat, because it was interesting to speak to the future self.  Kat also talks about the mom's wounds and the dad's wounds.  That is so my next podcast with her, because although my Podcast is hoping to help my listeners recover, I believe some of these issues are a part of our bulimic relationship with food.  Sounds strange, right?  A relationship with bulimia?   Not at all.  Bulimia can become our friend, and anything that is outside in the world that is real pain.  Food is not real pain, it's a kind of pain, except like anything else that is a "crutch" to go to.  It can pain you from being around people, knowing yourself, and your worth.I believe in what Kat is doing.  I am still not sure about my past self, but future self 100%, yet it has intrigued me for my whole life.  Why would I meet someone and say I will marry him with no idea?  My future self.  I believe that.  My future self also knew he would want me to go.  Dreams tell you that, too.  It wasn't all him... nor me... it was meant to be, and I could see it.  My future self was telling that... and to that I love what Kat believes in.  I believe too.  I also speak to my younger self, and she keeps asking me why we didn't make it as a movie star.  I tell her we came as close as possible and in a better way... I do videos every day for my Clients before they arrive for their vehicle.  I show the vehicle inside and out.  And I am thanked every day for little nothing thank you videos.  This is the answer.  We ARE mini movie stars every day.  Nothing has to be big to be beautiful.Kat, thank you so much for looking over my life, like you will do with everyone else.  Seriously, thank you.  I believe in you.I had to share my experience to make you understand, listeners, that you may not be sure.  I am.  My future self, I believe in.  She is there today and listen to her.  Kat can help you do that.Let Kat find yours.  Yes, past too, but fun fact is anyone who is intuitive like Kat will tell you, and she will teach you, how to reach out to your future self.  I absolutely believe.  :) With all my heart.I highly recommend you reach out to Kat at https://www.katdaou.com/Support the show
