Join us in today's episode as we dive into one of the most pervasive thoughts in the binge-restrict cycle: 'I'll make up for it tomorrow.' We'll explore how this seemingly harmless thought is a clustered cognitive distortion, combining all-or-nothing thinking, future tripping, moral reasoning, should statements, and magical thinking. Learn how this mindset disconnects you from the present, adds emotional pressure, and often leads to more binge behaviors. We'll also discuss practical ways to reframe this thought and steps to build a mindset grounded in steadiness and self-care. If you're ready to replace unhelpful thoughts with tools that support recovery, this episode is for you. 00:32 Unpacking the Thought: 'I'll Make Up for It Tomorrow'01:00 The Cognitive Distortions Behind the Thought03:28 The Effects of 'I'll Make Up for It Tomorrow'04:51 Scientific Evidence on Anticipated Restriction07:07 Reframing the Thought for Recovery10:18 Conclusion and Support OptionsConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Disordered eating is something that so many people, especially women, have experienced. Sometimes this is so normalised by society that we don’t even realise our approach to food is disordered or could be defined as such. We’re joined by psychiatrist Dr. Kieran Kennedy. Kieran is consultant psychiatrist specialising in the diagnosis, support and treatment of a range of eating disorders and body image struggles; everything from binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, body dysmorphia and the intersection between fitness, appearance pressures & mental health. Today we speak about: How you may have disordered eating without even realising it Women identify more with disordered eating but rates of men and all genders are increasing - ‘muscle dysmorphia’ The messaging around weight and eating is deeply ingrained in our culture ‘Health and fitness’ may be disordered eating in a different costume Our relationship with food can impact our social and romantic lives Whether you can comment on someone’s body Body image in the ‘ozempic era’ The link between disordered eating and depression, OCD, anxiety and ADHD Binge eating disorder is by far the most common eating disorder How we can recognise concerning body image thoughts in loved ones and kids If you’d like to check out Dr Kieran Kennedy’s Instagram You can access Dr Kennedy’s clinical practice here You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion GroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I really aware of how much social media and online content is influencing my kids? Have I noticed my kids becoming overly focused on their physical appearance or diet? How do I handle conversations about nutrition and fitness at home? If you've noticed your son obsessing over his physique or protein intake, or your daughter silently struggling with self-worth because of what she sees online, this episode is for you. Larry and Rich dive deep into how today's digital landscape is distorting kids' perceptions of themselves, driving issues like body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and unhealthy relationships with food and fitness—affecting boys and girls earlier than ever before. You'll hear real talk on what warning signs to watch out for, how to foster healthy conversations about food and body image, and the steps you can take to protect your kids from the relentless pressures of curated perfection online. Plus, learn practical strategies for monitoring your child's digital world and discover why it's crucial to model resilience, open dialogue, and authentic self-worth in your home. Whether you're a dad, coach, or mentor, this episode is your wake-up call and toolbox—because the world is changing, and as fathers, we need to step up, disrupt the status quo, and help our kids build unshakeable confidence in themselves. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Why Social Media Is A Game-Changer: Unlike the occasional magazine we grew up with, today's kids are constantly exposed to unrealistic body standards, curated feeds, and supplement ads designed to make them feel “less than.” The result? Kids (especially boys ages 12-14!) are reporting anxiety, body dysmorphia, compulsive exercising, and disordered eating at skyrocketing rates. Spot the Warning Signs: It's not just about undereating—obsession with protein grams, excessive workouts, and constant flexing in the mirror can all point to an unhealthy relationship with food and body image. Smart Conversations, Not Confrontations: The episode shares actionable tips to open up dialogue with your kids. Watch "Generation Flex" together, use it as a springboard for honest conversation, and focus on how food and fitness make us feel—not just how we look. Model Healthy Habits: As dads, it's not about being perfect—it's about showing our kids that food isn't “good” or “bad,” and that balance is key (yes, you can have that burger and a salad). Digital Safety for Peace of Mind: Larry also highlights tools like Bark, which alert you to concerning activity on your kids' devices—so you're not left in the dark about what they're seeing online. If you care about raising healthy, resilient sons and daughters in an always-connected world—and want to know the practical steps you can take at home—this episode is for you Here's what research and observation highlight about Studies show that hospitalizations for pediatric eating disorders rose by 139% from 2002 to 2018, with the largest relative increase seen in males aged 12 to 14 Boys and men now represent a third of all eating disorder diagnoses today Nearly 100% of kids with internet access are exposed to carefully curated or unrealistic fitness/body images daily. thedadedge.com/bark  thedadedge.com/alliance  https://menshealth.com @menshealthmag @richdorment Read more about Men's Health's documentary "Generation Flex": https://www.menshealth.com/generationflex Watch Generation Flex on Apple TV+:https://tv.apple.com/us/clip/generation-flex Watch Generation Flex on Amazon Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DJCND11R

Disordered eating is on the rise in Australia and there are some common signs of eating disorders that parents and carers often miss. Disordered eating can range from the more well known restriction on the amount of food, to only eating one or two specific foods or being afraid to eat because you're worried you might choke. Another potential sign of disordered eating can be an obsession with clean eating or a restrictive so called “healthy” diet!If you have ever wondered about those tell-tale early indicators of an eating disorder then the Nourish Nurture Notice program's Masterclass is something every carer needs to see.This podcast episode is an edited version of that Masterclass video, which is part of Australia's first ever online eating disorder prevention program for parents, that focuses on early identification and intervention in disordered eating in young people.Nourish Nurture Notice, which also includes free drop-in sessions, was developed by Eating Disorders Families Australia along with the Embrace Collective and is supported by The Queensland Government.In the full Masterclass video we speak to Paediatric Dietitian Dr Lyza Norton and Paediatrician Dr Penny Larcombe about their experience speaking to thousands of carers, what they hear the most about the early signs carers miss and what to do next.As well as personal stories and advice from EDFA's Executive Director Jane Rowan and Fill the Gap counsellor Rowena Brookes.Nourish Nurture Notice is an Australian first and an important step in eating disorder prevention.#edfa#embracecollective#eatingdisorders#whatisdisorderedeating#adviceforcarers#edadvice#eatingdisorder#ARFID#bulimia#anorexia Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we delve into the latest research on Binge Eating Disorder (BED), exploring its most common causes and effective treatments. Recent studies new findings show BED's connection to brain activity and reduced impulse control. Research also demonstrates the roles of systemic inflammation and the gut-brain axis in BED. You will also hear us share about the significance of interoceptive awareness, and the strong correlation between ADHD and binge eating. One of the most the important treatment methods for BED continues to be cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is becoming even more accessible through digital CBT. We also discuss the promising results of GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide for reducing binge eating episodesTo no surprise for many of you, we will emphasize that BED is not a result of poor willpower but a complex condition influenced by various biological, emotional, and psychological factors. That is why our approach tackles BED as a whole body condition.

Happy Independence Day! In this inspiring episode, Lindsey connects the spirit of American independence to your personal freedom from disordered eating. Drawing from Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," she breaks down the four human endowments that give us ultimate freedom: self-awareness, conscience, independent will, and creative imagination. If you're tired of living for everyone else's approval and ready to declare independence from your eating disorder, this episode will show you exactly how to break free using the power you already have within you. What You'll Learn The 4 human endowments that create ultimate freedom (from Stephen Covey) How your eating disorder hijacks your internal guidance system Why you get stuck in the "capacity to act" phase of recovery How to reconnect with your creative imagination and dreams The power of asking "What's the best that could happen?" How to put on your "full armor" against disordered eating The 4 Keys to Ultimate Human Freedom 1. Self-Awareness Allows you to think about your thoughts Key to taking responsibility for where you are and where you want to go Action Step: Write your Best Self Statement (Episode 51 reference) 2. Conscience Your internal guidance system for right and wrong Connects actions to your highest values (your "True North Compass") Gets jaded when eating disorder is in the driver's seat 3. Independent Will Your capacity to act and break patterns Where many people get stuck in recovery The part of you that's "starving for independence" 4. Creative Imagination Gives you purpose and dreams beyond current reality Hard to access when living "chained in the disorder" When attached to willpower, makes you unstoppable Key Questions to Ask Yourself "What's the best that could happen if..." I surrender control? I sit with my dreams and imagine life without unhealthy behaviors? I stop counting calories or weighing myself? I become the natural version of me I'm supposed to be? Powerful Episode Quotes "Independence is freedom from the need of everyone else's approval." "You have the key. No one else. Freedom isn't really free - it's won by you, but you don't have to go at it alone." "When your willpower is attached to your creative imagination, nothing can stop you." "Fears keep us stuck. The fear of weight gain is real... but it kept me stuck for so long. These are the handcuffs around you, and you have the key." Biblical Foundation - Ephesians 6:10-18 Lindsey references putting on the "full armor of God" to stand against the eating disorder, including: Belt of truth Breastplate of righteousness Shield of faith Helmet of salvation Sword of the Spirit Resources Mentioned Best Self Statement: Pinned in Her Best Self Society Facebook community Episode 51: "Why Some Find Freedom from Disordered Eating and Others Don't" Stephen Covey: "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" Private Facebook Community: www.herbestselfesociety.com  Ready for Recovery Coaching?

As the midday host for Tampa Bay's NPR station, WUSF, Lisa Peakes keeps us company as we work, eat lunch, run errands, sit in the school carline or whatever else we happen to be doing in the afternoon. Lisa reads the news, shares the weather report and tells us about local events, all in that friendly, soothing voice that's become a constant companion.

If you've been intrigued by all the benefits that intermittent fasting claims to offer, you are not alone, and this week's podcast episode is for you. I'm joined by a special — and beloved (so you've told me) returning guest — my husband, Jeb!Jeb gives his own thoughts on the research behind intermittent fasting, his personal experience with addiction and how it reflects some of the same behaviors, and provides the comic relief, as he likes to say. Though I am clearly the funnier of the two of us. I also talk about how fasting showed up in my own disordered relationship with food, even though I never intentionally followed a time-restricted diet.Some of the things we discuss include...* The origins of intermittent fasting* Different types of fasting protocols* Why intermittent fasting proponents claim it's “not a diet”* Intermittent fasting's connection to Silicon Valley, body optimization, and biohacking* What the research says about intermittent fasting's claims to better health, increased productivity, mastering glucose levels, mental clarity, and more* Whether IF has any long-term health benefits* The emotional and mental impact of intermittent fasting, including on your relationship with food* Physical health implications of fasting* Intermittent fasting's connection with disordered eating behaviors* Where do we go from here if we're still intrigued?Enjoying this podcast?

Send us a textI've known Amber for a long time. She was an OG at SOS and back then I could sense something was off, but I didn't know the full story. I didn't know she was quietly fighting a battle with food, control, and over-exercise that was stealing so much more than just her energy—it was stealing her presence. Her joy. Her health. Her period.It wasn't until we recorded the Infertility Series that I learned the whole story—and damn, it hit me hard.In this episode, Amber gets brutally honest about what it's like to live inside the mental spiral of orthorexia and exercise addiction. We talk about how that level of control shows up in everyday life, how it impacts relationships, and what it takes to finally break free. Because this isn't just about food or fitness. This is about being so consumed by the need to control, that you miss out on life itself.She talks about:Losing her period for years—and why that was the wake-up callHiding disordered habits behind “health”Why presence is the real flexThe little moments that helped her start healingWhat it looks like to work out and eat because you love yourself, not because you hate your bodyIf you're listening and your stomach is turning a little, or you're recognizing something in yourself or someone you love—listen all the way through. Amber's story is powerful, but more importantly, it's proof that healing is possible.You don't have to stay stuck. There's a way out. The door is open.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes registered dietician Jackie Silver, who specializes in nutrition for neurodivergent people. They discuss the unique challenges faced by the neurodiversity community, including sensory differences, interoception, and executive functioning barriers that complicate meal planning and nutrition. They also talk about practical strategies to support the neurodivergent people in your life with making good dietary choices. They identify and analyze disordered eating patterns, and discuss the significance of self-compassion in the journey towards better nutrition. TAKEAWAYS Many dietitians overlook the unique needs of neurodivergent clients. Meal planning can be overwhelming for those with executive dysfunction. It's important to work within people's "safe foods." Sensory sensitivities can greatly impact food choices and preferences. Interoception plays a crucial role in recognizing hunger and fullness cues. Mechanical eating can help those with suppressed appetites due to medication. Small, manageable changes can lead to significant improvements in nutrition. Disordered eating patterns are common among neurodivergent people, especially with ADHD. The window will open soon to join the Educator Hub! If you're a teacher, administrator, school counselor, or parent of a neurodivergent student, this community is where you can share, ask questions, and find training that will help you along your journey. Please come join us. Jackie Silver is a NYC-based Registered Dietitian and founder of Jackie Silver Nutrition, a virtual private practice specializing in supporting neurodivergent kids, teens, and adults with ADHD, ASD and IDD. Her practice is neurodiversity-affirming, nonjudgmental, and weight-inclusive. he holds a Master of Health Science in Nutrition Communication from Toronto Metropolitan University and has additional training in mindful eating and sensory-based feeding therapy. Jackie works with clients across New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ontario, and beyond, offering support with meal planning, selective eating, digestive health, chronic disease management, and more.

For years, I thought nutrition had to be all or nothing… you either perfectly tracked your food, followed a strict diet, or you were "failing." I spent so much time overthinking every meal, trying to find the “perfect” way to eat, only to end up feeling stressed, guilty, and frustrated.I thought true health meant rigid rules, obsessive tracking, and pushing myself to stick to the latest diet trend.But the truth? Nutrition should be about fueling your body, building strength, and creating habits that support your life, not controlling every bite.In today's episode, I'm answering your top nutrition questions: from intermittent fasting, to how to actually hit your protein goals, to healing your relationship with food in a way that feels empowering, not exhausting.If you've ever struggled with overcomplicating nutrition, feeling lost with protein targets, or rebuilding trust with your body, this episode is for you!I Also Discuss:(00:00) Nutrition Myths You Still Believe (and What Actually Works)(07:41) How Much Protein You REALLY Need (Without Going Crazy)(16:17) Healing Your Relationship With Food (Without Strict Diets)(18:07) Navigating Sobriety When Your Partner Still Drinks(24:47) Why Broads Is Different: Strength Over ScalThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads App – Get structured, progressive training and a powerhouse community to keep you strong, consistent, and unstoppable.

In today's episode I sit down with with Dr. Tom Hildebrandt, clinical psychologist and director at Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, to unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders—and why that distinction matters.
