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.

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?

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.

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?

Her insights are deeply grounding, and I'm so excited for you to hear this conversation that left me feeling more connected, present, and whole. Topics Discussed: How do I heal my relationship with food and body image? What is conscious eating and how can it improve my health? Is over-exercising harmful to your body and mental health?

If you've been around the UDE fam for a while, you'll remember her from our earlier episode on secrets and eating disorders (if not, press pause and go listen to that one first—we'll wait).

We don't look at the toll they take on the mind or the body." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe "Secrets also make us very aware of where our boundary lies." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe “ Transparency and sharing the content of a secret or information that might be private is not the point here. It's not about the content. It's not about people knowing.

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.

In this episode of All Things Endurance, host Rick Prince chats with running coach and psychotherapist, Brant Stachel. Regarding his work as a psychotherapist, his focus is on sports performance and disordered eating. As both an endurance coach and disordered eating specialist, Brant brings a unique and very informed perspective to this very important topic. Below are some of the main topics that Brant discusses:1. Could you tell our listeners about your background?2. Disordered eating is becoming more of a topic these days. What does disordered eating encompass?3. Do you think that endurance athletes have an increased chance of having an eating disorder due to the desire to lower their body weight to become more competitive.4. Are there any signs that coaches should be aware of in regard to disordered eating?5. If a coach believes that their athlete may have an eating disorder, how should a coach proceed – both in terms of what to say to them, and what should be the first person that they are recommended to?6. As a therapist who focuses on individuals with eating disorders, do you work closely with registered dietitians?7. What should a coach do if an athlete does not admit to having an eating disorder, and/or admits to it but won't seek help?8. What can a coach do to best help and support an athlete that has an eating disorder?9. A lot of endurance athletes are type A personalities. As such, do you find that many of them have addictive personalities and that instead of being addicted to drugs or alcohol, some are addicted to exercise and disordered eating?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara are diving into a conversation that hits way closer to home than most of us like to admit—disordered eating. We're not talking full-blown eating disorders here. We're talking about the ways so many of us have been conditioned to see food as "good" or "bad," to feel guilt for having a cookie, or to obsess over eating “clean.” Our amazing guest co-host Jodi Dolo from Mindful Muscle joins us for a raw and honest chat about the toxic narratives around food, the damage caused by unsustainable plans, and why “cheat meals” need to die already. We laugh (a lot), we rant (obviously), and we dig into what it really means to have a healthy relationship with food.Be sure to follow Jodi on social media where she shares her 90+ pound weight loss journey (and how she's kept it off!), along with inspiration, motivation, and all-around badass-ery.Follow Jodi on InstagramFollow Mindful Muscle on Instagram and don't forget to catch new episodes every Thursday!Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Ever wonder why you keep reaching for food, even when you're not hungry?In this episode, I open up about the deeper layers of emotional and unwanted eating — the stuff we usually try to avoid or push down. I talk about how being curious (instead of judging ourselves) can really help us understand what's actually going on beneath the cravings.I share how your nervous system, the culture you grow up in, and even past experiences all come together to shape the way you eat. It's not just about willpower — there's so much more to the story.You'll hear some personal stories and examples as I walk through the biological, psychological, and environmental reasons we turn to food. I also dive into how fear plays a big role in your choices and why it's so important to surround yourself with the right kind of support — the people and communities who help you grow instead of keep you stuck.Here's what real transformation looks like: small, consistent steps, understanding your own unique metabolic blueprint, and even how hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for change and shedding the layers of trauma, emotional dysregulations and limiting beliefs..Topics Covered:Curiosity Over Fear: Transforming Eating Habits Through Self-UnderstandingUnderstanding Cravings Through Biopsychosocial and Environmental FactorsUnderstanding the Complexities of Disordered Eating and TraumaInner Child Healing and Overcoming ResistanceUnderstanding Weight Struggles Beyond Diet and ExerciseJoin Make Peace With Food for Personal Growth and SupportEmbracing Change When Traditional Healing Methods FailThe Power of Community and Environment in Personal GrowthExploring Emotions and Uncovering Subconscious Patterns Through MeditationEmbrace Incremental Change and Join Our Supportive CommunityIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about the deeper connection between approval-seeking, the need to prove ourselves, and the quiet ways these patterns can shape our relationship with food and our bodies.I share my own journey—growing up in a household where performance and perfection were tied to love, and how that created a deep fear of doing it wrong, being too much, or not enough. Like many women, I internalized thebelief that being good meant being small, quiet, and in control. For me, that showed up in disordered eating—but it could show up as over-achieving, people-pleasing, or self-neglect.We'll explore:*How childhood experiences of needing approval can turn into perfectionism and body control*Why many women feel “safe” when they're hungry or productive*The role of culture and generational patterns in shaping our self-worth*What healing looks like when we stop trying to earn love—and start offering it to ourselvesIf you've ever felt like no matter how much you do, it's never enough—or you've struggled to make peace with your body or your worth—this conversation is for you. You're not broken. You've been taught to abandon yourself. But you don't have to stay there.✨ Reflection Prompt:What was your earliest memory of “being good” or “doing it right” to get love, attention, or approval? How did that shape the way you treat yourself today?
Have you noticed a pattern in your life where you use food to solve all the things? Whether you are cold, tired, behind schedule or intimidated or unsure or angry, does your brain say "should we eat something?" Even if you aren't hungry at all?This is exactly how emotional eating makes us act: We find ourselves using the same action (eating) to respond to any kind of feeling rather than stopping to discern what's actually happening and choosing a response from the many available options.Well, my friend, you are not alone! Emotional eating is fairly common and "just trying to stop" is rarely successful.Join Georgie and Christina in today's episode, which is the third and final installment of our Emotion Regulation series as we cover some of the more advanced skills that we teach our clients to help them leave behind emotional eating and binge eating.Find Part 1 of the episode HERE.Find Part 2 of the episode HERE.Check out the graphic on Emotion Regulation tools here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZbhXbx4mmeuQKEYSAConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

This episode of "Behind the Bite" explores the overlap between eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Dr. Cristina Castagnini interviews Allyson Ford, a therapist specializing in both disorders with personal experience. Ford shares her journey with orthorexia and anorexia as a teenager, which later led to the realization of underlying OCD tendencies. The discussion covers the similarities between OCD and eating disorders, such as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and emphasizes the importance of screening for OCD in eating disorder treatment. Ford and Castagnini delve into examples of OCD and eating disorder behaviors, the role of compulsions, core fears, and the amount of time these thoughts and behaviors consume. The episode aims to shed light on the often-overlooked connection between eating disorders and OCD, providing insights and potential "light bulb" moments for listeners who may be questioning whether their behaviors are crossing the line into something more serious.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite

Jo reflects on the challenges of feeling at home in her body, letting go of perfectionism, and why it's so hard to reach out for help when we're struggling. Listen to hear more about: What's on Jo's plate—literally and metaphorically Navigating life as a collection of niches and identities The ongoing nature of recovery and learning to set things down Why self-compassion is essential in the healing process How childhood experiences shape our coping mechanisms The role of food and alcohol as tools for survival The intersection of gender identity and substance use How therapy offers tools but isn't a quick fix The pivotal moment of moving beyond coping mechanisms The importance of support and community in building a new life Grief as a part of understanding identity and healing The parallel journeys of sobriety and gender transition How chronic illness can complicate the recovery process Why recovery is non-linear, layered, and deeply personal The role of self-love in living authentically Finding a sense of home in one's body Reaching out for support as an act of strength Letting go of moral judgments around food and prioritizing self-care Embracing uncertainty as part of being human You can access the first 30 minutes for free, but if you want access to the whole episode, subscribe on Patreon right here! More about Jo: Jo Anne Walduck (pronouns she/they), is in her late 30s, a Brit who's lived in France for almost all her adult life, a trauma-informed business, life, and recovery coach, a cat lover, a woman in recovery, a writer, a dreamer, a napper. A storyteller and a delighter in the growth and healing that happens when we turn our nurturing energy inwards and let it overflow outwards, rather than focussing on everyone else and gasping for the dregs. A trans femme living with chronic illness and fatigue, a human navigating the waves of generational trauma, familial grief, and queer joy. Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?
