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?

In this episode, I give three insights about bulimia recovery that most people never hear:Permission to stop treating bulimia as the enemy — Understanding what your bulimia is protecting you from, rather than being at war with it.Widening the gap before the urge appears — Why the real work happens in your everyday baseline, not just in crisis moments.Distraction doesn't work alone — What actually helps when urges hit, and why reducing intensity matters more than "winning" against bulimia.Resources mentioned:Eating for Recovery Guide10 Days to Stop Overthinking Food email course Join my free email communityDisordered eating & hypothalamic amenorrhea 1-1 support details
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?

Nos habita la imperiosa necesidad de ser y actuar como ecológicos. Dice Joaquín Araújo que “ser ecológicos sería, en parte, la propuesta anunciada por Schiller, Unamuno, Ortega y Pessoa, de convivir con todo, de fundir mente y corazón sin privilegios para ninguna de las partes". Hoy nos situamos contra la bulimia energética. Hablemos de energía nuclear.Y añade Araújo que “toda vida es una forma de combustión que necesita alimentarse, perpetuamente, con recursos energéticos. Y que toda cultura es una forma de encauzar energía en una determinada dirección. El momento civilizatorio actual, se caracteriza por un hiperconsumo de energías fósiles, despilfarradas por la notable ineficacia de los artefactos, que nos permiten un alto grado de comodidad. Pero también, también notabilísimos daños en los sistemas naturales”. Además, ya lo habrás oído, Francia está limitando su energía nuclear, por problemas de refrigeración, causados por la ola de calor. Y es que siguen surgiendo causas, efectos secundarios y otras cuestiones derivadas de las nucleares, años y años después.Escucharemos el texto escrito por Lucía Gimeno Berga, bióloga y educadora ambiental, titulado “Educar para el futuro, sobrevivir en el presente. Por qué nuestra dignidad laboral es la mejor herramienta contra el cambio climático”. Para que el futuro sea verde, feminista y rural. También contamos con Simone Firmani (que nos irá adelantando, semana a semana, los contenidos del Foro Social y músicas del próximo Rototom Sunsplash). Nos ilustran Ignacio Abella y Eduardo Galeano. Club de Hojarasca: José Manuel Sebastián, Arturo Martín Lafuente, Amaya Prieto y Álvaro Soto.Y ahora, recuerda que una de las más bellas y justas peleas que se libraron nunca, fue ésa que preside un sonriente sol, y el universal slogan de ¡NUCLEAR, NO GRACIAS!, porque, como dice Chus García, en su poemario “Gaia”: una vez replegadas las tropas, solo queda escuchar el rumor de viento, sin duda, un viento conmovido… ¡Arriba las ramas!HT: #EcoslógicosRadio3Escuchar audio
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?

Why do some people with ADHD feel like no amount of food is ever enough? Why can you finish a satisfying meal and still find yourself searching the pantry, thinking about dessert, or feeling like something is missing? In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I explore the often-overlooked connection between ADHD and binge eating disorder (BED). I explain why many ADHDers describe feeling like a "bottomless pit" around food, why satisfaction can remain elusive even when physical hunger has passed, and why traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) doesn't always address the executive functioning and nervous system challenges that drive binge eating. Using the fictional case example of Zoe, we look beyond willpower and self-control to better understand how ADHD can shape reward processing, food thoughts, understimulation, sensory needs, and the search for regulation. If you've ever wondered why your relationship with food feels different from what most recovery advice describes, this episode offers a compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming perspective. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN You'll learn why ADHD and binge eating frequently occur together, how executive functioning differences can influence eating behavior, and why the feeling of "never being satisfied" isn't always about physical hunger. I also discuss why food often becomes a source of stimulation after mentally demanding days, how shame keeps many people stuck, and why ADHD-informed eating disorder treatment may look very different from traditional CBT. WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR This episode is for adults with ADHD, binge eating disorder, compulsive overeating, chronic food thoughts, or food noise. It's also for anyone who has worked on emotional eating, stopped dieting, or completed eating disorder treatment but still feels confused by persistent urges to eat. Therapists, dietitians, and other eating disorder professionals who work with neurodivergent clients will also find this discussion helpful. IN THIS EPISODE We explore why binge eating isn't always driven by restriction, how ADHD changes the way many people experience reward and satisfaction, why executive functioning matters in eating disorder recovery, and what clinicians often miss when they focus only on changing thoughts or behaviors. I also explain how approaching binge eating with curiosity instead of self-criticism can open the door to more effective, sustainable healing.

Send us Fan MailIt was so fun to meet Mike Allen, known as "the sugar-free man," to discuss his journey into sugar-free living and his work helping others with food addiction. Mike shared how he became the sugar-free man during the pandemic after growing up in a family where sugar was heavily consumed as a form of "love," and how his recovery from alcohol addiction at age 28 led him to eliminate sugar from his diet. He explained the scientific connection between sugar consumption and dopamine regulation in the brain, describing how sugar affects the same reward pathways as drugs and how metabolic psychiatry is revealing the brain's response to sugar consumption. Mike discussed his coaching program, book writing, and the Quit Sugar Summit events, while sharing insights about different types of sugar users and the challenges of going sugar-free in a world where sugar is pervasive in food products. The conversation also touched on the connection between sugar consumption and conditions like Alzheimer's disease, based on Mike's personal experience with his mother's dementia and the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen.Support 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?

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?

Send us Fan MailQuick recapLaurieAnn interviewed Lee Atherton, founder of Phoenix Rising and a psychiatric service dog advocate, for her podcast "Bleep Bulimia." Lee shared her personal journey with bulimia and how her service dog Shadow helped her through depression and anxiety after losing her brother to a drug overdose. They discussed the potential for training service dogs to assist people with bulimia, including alerting others when someone is engaging in harmful behaviors and providing comfort during recovery. Lee explained her foundation's mission to make psychiatric service dogs more accessible to those who need them, particularly highlighting the high cost of fully trained service dogs at approximately $45,000. The conversation also touched on Lee's upcoming book project collecting service dog stories and various ways listeners can support Phoenix Rising, including financial donations and social media assistance.My words are that she is so delightful and so transparent. Lee Atherton shared great information about not only the service dogs, she shared about her own struggles with bulimia.

Send us Fan MailThis was a podcast interview between LaurieAnn, the host of "Bleep Bulimia," and Sherry Shaban, the creator of the Make Peace With Food method and an anti-diet health coach. Sherry shared her journey from a chemistry master's student to a health and fitness professional, explaining how her disordered eating patterns emerged after years of following various diet trends. She described how her nervous system became triggered to fear food and overeat as a survival mechanism, leading her to develop her method focused on addressing the root psychological and biological causes of unwanted eating behaviors rather than just dietary restrictions. The conversation explored how diet culture creates fear around food and discussed the importance of body awareness and support systems in recovery. Both participants shared personal experiences with eating disorders and discussed how making peace with food involves reconnecting with internal body signals rather than relying on external rules or validation.This was a beautiful interview.

Kamy described how his eating disorder began at age 13 when his mother taught him purging techniques, and how he struggled with binge eating and purging throughout his teenage and young adult years despite professional success in engineering and startups. He explained how his healing journey began with meditation and a 10-day silent retreat that helped him process suppressed emotions, leading him to found Step Together, which primarily works with parents to create healthier home environments for their children struggling with eating disorders. The organization focuses on helping parents understand that they must address their own emotional coping strategies before effectively supporting their children, as many parents are either unaware of or denying the issue in their homes.To reach out to Kamy you can find him by going to steptogether.us.To my guest my sincerest apologies for introducing him as Kamy Moussari instead of Moussavi. ☹️Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEBE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-here Pick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.Show Notes: Have you ever thought, “I don't even like this that much… so why do I still want more?” In this episode, Georgie explains the difference between wanting and liking—and why urges can stay loud even when pleasure is fading.You'll learn how wanting and liking are supported by partly different brain systems: dopamine-heavy motivation circuits help generate the “go get it” drive, while pleasure is more tied to hedonic circuits involving opioid and endocannabinoid signaling. 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.

But behind the results was a man who had been badly bullied at 13, carried an eating disorder through marriage and fatherhood, went through divorce, and lost a son. In this episode he strips it all back: where the darkness came from, how long he carried it, and why he wouldn't change any of it.We also get into the fitness myths Scott has spent eight years dismantling. Why calorie deficit is the wrong focus, how you can party twice a week and still keep your results, what food actually does to your hormones, and what it really took to turn Rylan Clark from a malnourished nine stone into the person he became.

Lezione numero 08 del Corso sulla Nutrizione nel ciclo di vita.Nel decimo modulo di Nutrizione nel ciclo di vita viene approfondita una delle fasi più delicate dal punto di vista nutrizionale, psicologico e identitario: l'adolescenza.La lezione parte dai fabbisogni nutrizionali dell'adolescente, con attenzione al fabbisogno energetico, proteico, idrico e ai nutrienti fondamentali per la crescita, come calcio e vitamina D. In questa fase della vita il corpo cambia rapidamente, aumenta la richiesta di energia e si modificano composizione corporea, percezione di sé e rapporto con il cibo. Per questo l'adolescenza rappresenta un momento cruciale sia per consolidare abitudini sane sia per intercettare precocemente situazioni di rischio.Ampio spazio è dedicato al rapporto tra attività fisica e disturbi del comportamento alimentare, mostrando come lo sport possa essere un fattore protettivo, ma in alcuni casi anche trasformarsi in un contesto in cui si amplificano pressioni estetiche, controllo ossessivo del corpo e comportamenti disfunzionali. In questo quadro vengono analizzati il mito della magrezza e il mito dell'ipertrofia, due polarità apparentemente opposte ma spesso accomunate da insoddisfazione corporea, rigidità alimentare e forte vulnerabilità psicologica.Una parte centrale della lezione riguarda i DCA in adolescenza, con una riflessione sui fattori familiari, sociali, culturali e psicologici che possono favorirne l'insorgenza. Vengono affrontati temi come pressione dei social network, idealizzazione del corpo, bassa autostima, perfezionismo, bullismo e difficoltà nella costruzione dell'identità.Il modulo approfondisce inoltre il tema della vigoressia, una condizione ancora sottovalutata, in cui la ricerca di muscolarità e perfezione fisica si trasforma in ossessione, isolamento sociale, dipendenza da allenamento, alimentazione rigida e, nei casi più gravi, uso di sostanze farmacologicamente attive. La lezione chiarisce la differenza tra cura del corpo e comportamento patologico, mostrando come il problema non sia l'interesse per l'attività fisica, ma il grado in cui questo interesse compromette salute, libertà personale e vita relazionale.Un ulteriore approfondimento è dedicato a schema corporeo, immagine corporea, dismorfofobia e disturbo da dismorfismo corporeo, per comprendere come si costruisce la percezione di sé e come possa alterarsi sotto l'influenza delle emozioni, dello sguardo degli altri e dei modelli culturali dominanti.La parte finale della lezione affronta i rischi clinici associati a questi quadri, inclusi gli effetti di allenamenti estenuanti, squilibri nutrizionali, isolamento sociale, alterazioni endocrine, uso improprio di farmaci e condizioni come la LEA/RED-S, che collegano bassa disponibilità energetica e compromissione multisistemica.Questa lezione è pensata per chi desidera comprendere l'adolescenza in tutta la sua complessità, evitando letture superficiali del rapporto tra cibo, corpo, sport e salute mentale.
New to the show? 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 Psychology of Self-Injury: Exploring Self-Harm & Mental Health
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.

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.

New to the show? 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.
