Eating clean, training hard, and STILL bloated, exhausted, and stuck? You're focused on the wrong hormone. In this episode, we break down cortisol — the #1 hormone driving insulin resistance, weight loss resistance, fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalance in women. Learn why chronic stress suppresses progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones, how cortisol fuels belly fat and blood sugar chaos, and the exact steps to start regulating it today. If you're dealing with adrenal fatigue, gut issues, brain fog, perimenopause symptoms, or burnout — press play.

I Studied Nutrition and Still Made a Mess of Eating Snag your free Nutrition Self Check and Eat to Energize Menu!  What happens when a dietitian can't figure out her own body? In this episode, Jess gets honest about her personal journey with food — the parts that worked, the parts that didn't, and the discovery that changed everything. Jess traces her story from 90s fad diets and college bulimia, through a spiritual awakening abroad that helped her separate her identity from her appearance, to a decade of intuitive eating that served her well — until the demands of motherhood pushed her body past its limits. Years of fatigue, insomnia, and gut issues followed, and a perimenopause diagnosis finally prompted her to stop and ask a bigger question. The answer wasn't what she expected. Her nervous system had been running in sympathetic overdrive for years, quietly driving nearly every symptom she was experiencing. Learning to balance her sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems — and to value rest as much as activity — became the turning point. In this episode Jess also shares the three core beliefs that anchor her practice: The body is designed to be healthy when properly supported Most nutrition information is true, but not all of it is helpful for every person Food is deeply personal — and your nutrition plan should be too This is the story behind the Empowered Eating model, and an invitation to start your own journey.

Eating disorders are complicated illnesses that skyrocketed among teenagers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatrician Eva Trujillo says they "literally rewire the brain," decrease brain size, and make it harder to concentrate and to regulate emotions. Malnutrition can slow the metabolism, impact bone density and even lead to cardiac arrest. But Eva says, with the right treatment, people can also recover fully. She's the president of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and co-founder of Comenzar de Nuevo, a leading treatment facility in Latin America. Today on the show, host Emily Kwong talks about the physical and mental impacts of eating disorders with Dr. Trujillo and Moorea Friedman, a teen mental health advocate and host of the podcast Balancing Act. Plus, how to recover in a world steeped in diet culture. (encore)Want us to cover more mental health topics? Tell us by emailing shortwave@npr.org!

Could it be that your child’s uneaten lunch isn’t the problem… the schedule is? A simple shift happening in Aussie schools is transforming behaviour, boosting learning, and - finally - getting kids to actually eat their food. This episode unpacks the “play first, eat later” approach - and why it works far better than anything you can pack in a lunchbox. If your child comes home hangry, exhausted, or with a full lunchbox… this might be the missing piece. KEY POINTS Why kids skip lunch (and it’s not about the food) The “play first” model changing school behaviour and focus How movement drives appetite, regulation, and learning The hidden link between uneaten lunches and afternoon meltdowns Why the last 10 minutes of playtime often trigger the biggest issues A simple school-level change with measurable results QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Calories change kids. Food isn’t just fuel - it’s behaviour, focus, and emotional regulation.” RESOURCES MENTIONED ABC News article on “play first, eat later” school model Conversations with teachers and school communities School P&C (Parents & Citizens) groups as a starting point for change ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Start the conversation with your school or P&C about “play first” Focus less on perfect lunches and more on eating opportunity Talk with your child about when they feel hungry during the day Advocate for structural changes - not just lunchbox fixes Watch for after-school behaviour as a clue to under-fuelling See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Participatory governance in healthcare means asking the right people the right questions. Three stories where listening as leadership changed everything. Summary This episode is about listening as leadership — the gap between where knowledge lives and where decisions get made, and what it costs when we pretend that gap doesn’t exist. Three stories from my career as a nurse manager, quality director, and VP — three moments where participatory governance in healthcare produced the same result: a no to the status quo. Not a radical no. An obvious one. Obvious, that is, once someone finally asked the people living inside the system. Topics covered: Open visiting hours in the ICU — and what happened when staff pushed back Seven therapy visits, no prior authorization required — and what happened when the company was acquired A disability services resident on a board of directors — and the simple fix that improved every patient experience metric Why participatory governance is the fastest, cheapest diagnostic tool most health system leaders never use The honest difference between patient advisory boards and actually sharing power with patients What patient-centered care looks like when it moves beyond consultation into real shared decision making Click here to view the printable newsletter.

Contents Table of Contents Toggle EpisodeProemPart 1: ICU Doors OpenPart 2: Seven Visits, No Questions AskedPart 3: The Right to Say GoodbyeSynthesis: What's Common Across All ThreeReflection Podcast episode on YouTube Episode Proem I’ve spent most of my career in institutions, hospitals, managed care companies, and disability services agencies. These are large, slow-moving systems with their own inertia, logic, and knack for designing processes that work best for billing, and not so well for those receiving or providing services. I should know. I’ve been inside these systems as a clinician, boss, consultant, caregiver, and patient. The boldest changes I was part of didn’t come from a consultant’s report. They didn’t come from a board retreat or a leaders' strategic planning day off-site — though, Lord knows, I’ve sat through plenty of those. They came from the moment when someone, usually someone with very little institutional power, said: This doesn’t work. It’s hurting us. The hardest part wasn’t hearing that. The hardest part was finding the gumption to act. Institutions are good at explaining why things are the way they are. They have binders of policies for that. My secret as a consultant was embarrassingly simple: the people who hired me already had the answers they needed. The nurse who’d been there fifteen years knew. The member who couldn’t get her calls returned knew. I sought them out, listened, and translated their words into a PowerPoint that the boardroom could hear. I want to tell you about three times I got it right. Three moments when the change that mattered was a no. No to visiting hours that kept families from the people they loved. No to a prior authorization process that treated patients and clinicians like suspects and required an army to administer that suspicion. No to a system that let care aides disappear from people’s lives without warning or goodbye, as if the people whose lives they were in didn’t deserve a heads-up. None of these nos were mine originally. I heard them from a family pacing a waiting room, from a member who couldn’t get the help she needed, and from a man with a disability who sat on our board and told us, plainly, what it felt like to wake up one day to find that someone essential to his life was simply gone. Participatory governance sounds like it belongs in a policy manual, right between stakeholder alignment and learning organization. When participatory governance works, it's permission. Permission for the people living and working within a system to tell the truth about it. And the willingness, on the part of whoever’s in charge, to let that truth land. Even when it’s inconvenient. Especially then. Part 1: ICU Doors Open My first experience as a boss was as an ICU nurse manager, a job I got, I should mention, without ever having worked in an ICU or having been a boss. A story for another day. The honeymoon was short. Strictly prescribed visiting hours, ninety minutes in the morning, ninety in the evening, were leaving families miserable. I could see it. They could feel it. In collaboration with my bosses, the ICU medical director, and the chief nurse, I eliminated visiting-hour limits entirely. My staff, who had recruited me for the role, now deeply regretted it. I hadn’t consulted them or thought through the workflow implications. They were furious, and they weren’t wrong to be. But we kept the visiting hours open. Over time, something shifted. I learned how to be a boss. Nurses learned to include families in care and treatment. Patients and families arrived home better prepared. Physicians, for their part, didn’t much care either way. The lesson I learned: this was a story about control. Mine, the nurses’, and ultimately the families’. We eventually set up an informal patient and family advisory group, not because I had planned to, but because we needed them in the room. Part 2: Seven Visits, No Questions Asked My job title was Director of Quality at a behavioral health managed care company. If you’ve spent any time in managed care, you know what that means: Director of Trying to Get an A+ in Every Measure, Whether It Has Meaning or Not. Prior authorization was the centerpiece. A member needs therapy. Their provider submits a request. Someone on our end reviews it, approves or denies it, requests more information, waits, and follows up. The member waits. The provider waits. And somewhere in all that waiting, the person who needed help either got it, gave up, or got worse. I inherited this process. I did not invent it. My boss and I set up an advisory group with members on one side and providers on the other. We asked about their experiences with our company. They were not subtle. Members said the pre-auth process made them feel they had to prove they deserved care. Providers said the company’s default assumption was that they were lying. Neither response was a ringing endorsement. So, we experimented: seven visits, upon request. No authorization required. If a member or their provider asks, they get them. No forms, no review, no waiting. The result: outcomes held. Members received care faster. Providers stopped spending half their administrative time on the phone with us. And our call center, the engine room of the prior authorization machine, grew quieter. Then quieter still. A substantial portion of our staff spent all day managing a process that, in large part, was designed to manage itself. Strip it out, and you didn’t need nearly as many people to run it. The bureaucracy wasn’t protecting anyone. It was the cost. We had real data. Member satisfaction trended up. Providers, for the first time in recent memory, said something positive about the company. The advisory group had surfaced a truth that no quality metric had found, because no quality metric had asked the right people the right question. Then the company was acquired. New owners, new priorities, no appetite for any of this. The program was terminated, and the advisory group disbanded. I can only assume the prior authorization process resumed its proud tradition of making everyone miserable in the name of oversight. I learned that participatory governance surfaces the truth faster than most quality improvement methodologies I’ve encountered. But institutions don’t always want the truth. Sometimes they want the process. The process is familiar. It distributes responsibility. It means nobody has to decide. The advisory group uncovered a truth. It turned out that the people who bought the company got a veto. Part 3: The Right to Say Goodbye There’s a particular kind of organizational meeting where everyone knows something is wrong, the data is right there on the slides, and somehow the conversation goes nowhere. Lots of nodding. Lots of concern. Lots of commitment to further analysis. I worked as VP of Quality at an organization supporting forty thousand people with disabilities, many of them living in group homes, relying on personal care aides for the most intimate parts of daily life. Getting dressed. Eating. Toileting. Moving through the world. At my first Board meeting, we reviewed satisfaction survey results, which were poor. They were not nuanced, requiring careful interpretation. They told us something was bad. And we were doing what organizations do: analyzing, discussing, and scheduling follow-up meetings to review the analysis. We were not asking the people who lived there. The agency was committed to resident/patient participation in governance committees, including the Board; in this case, a resident of one of our group homes served on the Board. Not as a symbol. As a Board member. At one of these meetings, in the middle of what was shaping up to be another productive session of collective concern, he said something that stopped the room. He said: People leave without warning. A personal care aide, someone who helps you start each day, who knows how you take your coffee, which jokes make you laugh, and how you like your blanket folded, is just gone one morning. No notice. No goodbye. Someone new shows up, and you’re expected to adjust. He said it plainly, not as an accusation but as a fact. He apparently assumed, incorrectly, that we already knew. We didn’t. Or rather, someone knew. The people living in the homes knew. The aides probably knew. It just hadn’t made it into the meeting room until he put it there. The fix was insultingly simple. When an aide left, for any reason, residents would be told in advance. A chance to say goodbye. A proper introduction to whoever came next, rather than a key, an address, and good luck. That was the intervention. Advance notice, a goodbye, a hello — the basic courtesies we’d extend to anyone, anywhere, in any other context. Survey results improved dramatically in the next cycle. Not in one or two categories. Across the board. Because what was wrong wasn’t a program or a resource allocation. It was that the people living inside the system had been treated as though their experience of it didn’t count as information. The lesson I carry from that room is the simplest I know: the person living inside the system always knows. They know what’s breaking, what would fix it, and they’ve usually been waiting, sometimes for years, for someone to ask. You just have to put them in the room and believe them when they speak. The keyword is just. Just assumes a lot. Synthesis: What's Common Across All Three Three organizations. Three populations. Three problems, unresolved within systems staffed by smart, well-meaning people. In every case, the answer was already there. It lived in the wrong room. I want to be honest about something. Looking back, only one of these three was truly participatory governance: the man in the group home who served on our board. The ICU families and advisory group members had real influence but no structural authority. They could inform decisions, but they couldn’t stop them. That distinction matters, and I don’t want to paper over it. What they all shared was something simpler yet harder than governance design: someone with institutional power chose to ask, then chose to act on what they heard. The families pacing the ICU waiting room knew visiting hours weren’t protecting patients; they were protecting the unit’s sense of order. The members and providers in that behavioral health advisory group knew prior authorization wasn’t ensuring quality; it was ensuring paperwork. The man on our board knew what was breaking down wasn’t resources or staffing ratios. It was the simple human expectation of a goodbye. None of them needed a consultant. They needed someone with enough authority to ask the question and enough humility to sit with the answer. Here’s what I’ve come to believe: participatory governance, done seriously, is the fastest and cheapest diagnostic tool any leader has. Faster than a consultant. Cheaper than a task force. More accurate than a satisfaction survey that asks the wrong questions of the right people and calls it listening. The nos in these stories weren’t radical. They were obvious, embarrassingly obvious, once you asked the people who already knew. What made them feel radical was the gap between where the knowledge lived and where decisions were made. That gap has a name. Several, actually. We call it hierarchy, liability, chain of command, and expertise — the comfortable assumption that the people at the top understand a system better than those inside it every day. Sometimes that’s true. Often it isn’t. And the cost of acting as though it’s always true is borne by those with the least power to push back. The anxious family in the hallway. The member who couldn’t get through. The man in the group home who, generously, assumed we already knew what he was about to tell us. They were the experts. We had the org chart. Reflection Honestly, I’m proud of these three stories, but I’m not sure I deserve much credit. In each case, the hard work, the observing, the enduring, the knowing, was done by someone else. A family pacing a hallway. A patient who kept calling back. A man who showed up for board meetings and told the truth to a room that had been avoiding it. I contributed a willingness to ask and enough positional authority to act on what I heard. I'm struck by how long those answers had been waiting. The ICU families weren’t new. Frustration with prior auth wasn’t a surprise to anyone who’d navigated it. How long had group home residents been losing people without warning? Nobody seemed to know exactly, long enough that it had stopped registering as a problem and had started registering as just the way things were. That’s the part I can’t shake: the way systems normalize their own failures. The way this is how we do it becomes indistinguishable from this is the only way it can be done. And the people most hurt by that confusion are usually the least positioned to correct it. I got lucky. Three times, I was in the right seat, and the right person was willing to tell me what I needed to hear. Not every leader gets that, and not every leader goes looking for it. The question I’d leave you with — the one I still ask whenever I walk into a new system, a new organization, or any room where decisions are being made about people who aren’t present: Who already knows the answer? And what would it take to let them say it out loud? If you’ve been in that room — where someone finally said the quiet part and the right no was finally spoken — I want to hear about it.

A Relapse That Started in the Closet with Jessica Wood | The Hopeaholics Podcast In this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Jessica Wood shares her deeply emotional and raw story of addiction, trauma, eating disorders, relapse, and recovery, opening up about growing up under intense pressure, experiencing abuse, and turning to alcohol, cocaine, and heroin at a young age to cope with pain and identity struggles. She talks about her journey through treatment, being prescribed Xanax, losing opportunities due to addiction, and navigating recovery while being a mother, as well as the challenges of working in the medical field while battling substance abuse. Jessica also shares the reality of long-term sobriety, including a near relapse after 13 years, the moment she returned to alcohol, and how she found her way back, offering a powerful perspective on grace, accountability, and resilience. This episode dives into the complexities of relapse, the importance of community, and the truth that recovery is not always linear, delivering an honest message that even after setbacks, healing and hope are still possible. She also reflects on the emotional triggers that can resurface even after years of sobriety and how quickly old patterns can return without vigilance. Her story highlights the importance of staying connected, asking for help, and continuing to grow no matter how far along you are in recovery.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Best Of 2GG: Brooke is NEVER Eating Again because of this Documentary by Two Girls and a Guy

Listen to all my reddit storytime episodes in the background in this easy playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_wX8l9EBnOM303JyilY8TTSrLz2e2kRGThis is the Redditor podcast!

This episode begins the way many great human endeavors do: with a questionable decision involving scissors and a mirror. The hosts attempt to unpack the logic of DIY haircuts. The debate over shaving versus cutting spirals into theories about facial structure, evolutionary leftovers, and why mustaches somehow carry generational authority. Beards require maintenance systems that sound suspiciously like seasonal folklore, and every choice—trim, shave, or let it grow wild—invites commentary from others who are not dealing with your face. Even AI-generated edits and plastic surgery hypotheticals get pulled in. Food enters the conversation through sardines, which are presented as both a health miracle and a social risk. The hosts wrestle with how to eat something that is objectively good for you but emotionally challenging. This opens the door to spicy food theories, where culture, poverty, and taste preferences are examined. Eating habits expand into intermittent fasting, cheat hours, and the strange personal negotiations people make with themselves about food. What begins as discipline often turns into a scheduling loophole, and food “bucket lists” blur the line between curiosity and poor planning. Along the way, odd cravings and experimental habits raise the question of whether humans are optimizing their diets or just entertaining themselves. The conversation takes a sharp turn into information and belief, where fact-checking competes with nostalgia for clipping newspaper articles like tiny archives. The episode lands somewhere between observation and confession, tying together haircuts, sardines, and public policy with the same underlying method—try something, justify it later, and hope nobody asks too many follow-up questions.

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. 

Hey you filthy animals, welcome back to another steamy episode of Nikky After Dark — where your anonymous confessions get the spotlight they deserve and we all get a little hotter for it. I'm your host Nikky, and tonight we're diving deep into three confessions that are dripping with risk, taboo, and pure “I can't believe I did that” energy.An eight-months-pregnant woman runs into a tall, young Black mailman outside her building. What starts as flirty small talk and a number exchange turns into full pregnancy-brain blackout lust — she's already fantasizing about him giving her a very special “back-door delivery” right then and there.A woman reconnects with an older “family friend” she's known for over a decade — always the perfect gentleman — until he finally bends her over and fucks her brains out with insane stamina, choking, hair-pulling, and the filthiest talk she's ever heard… including lines about how her mom never deserved him but she does.A body piercer is in the middle of a clitoral hood piercing on a gorgeous customer when things get extremely unprofessional. He ends up face-deep in her pussy, making her cum hard on his tongue… only for his boss to call the second the customer leaves and reveal she watched the entire thing on the security cameras.Join us over on Discord. https://discord.gg/uqqxsCSDfwSupport Nikky:Patreon: Unlock exclusive confessions, bonus thoughts, and steamy Q&As at Patreon.com/DearNikky.

Today, the greatest health threats come from within rather than external sources. Dr. Torkil Færø, an emergency physician, believes that most hospital visits result from specific lifestyle choices.  He suggests that personal data devices like Garmin or Oura act as essential tools for navigating our well-being. These wearables allow individuals to monitor internal stress levels that our natural senses often miss. The Internal Health Speedometer We are living in a golden age of personal data. Smart gadgets are no longer just for elite athletes. They function as super tools that allow everyone to maneuver their health toward a better future.  For example, by  monitoring your heart rate throughout the day, you can identify hidden stressors like specific foods or environmental factors. When you can measure these internal changes, you gain the power to manage them effectively. The Power of Variability The most significant metric these devices track is the variation between heartbeats, known as heart rate variability. A high reading indicates that your body is in a restful state and fully prepared for recovery.  This daily measurement tells you exactly how much energy you have available Conversely, low variability signals a strained immune system that may struggle to function properly. Tracking this specific measurement daily is closely linked to many dangerous chronic diseases. These devices serve as a physiological speedometer to help you understand the hidden state of your nervous system. If your resting heart rate remains high during the night, look at your behavior.. Identifying Common Physical Stressors Using a wearable often reveals habits we find relaxing are actually physically taxing. Alcohol is identified as the most significant source of stress for the human body. Eating within several hours of bedtime also prevents the heart from reaching a truly restful state during sleep. Snacking on sweets while sitting on a sofa can trigger a high-stress physiological response. The data collected from such activity transforms abstract health advice into concrete personal evidence. Balancing Training and Rest While many use these tools to track exercise, their real value lies in measuring recovery. The goal: health normalization rather than reaching elite athletic performance. Keeping your physical fitness in the top half of the population can drastically reduce your medical risks. You can use your morning data to decide whether to push hard in the gym or take a rest day. Consistent recovery is the true secret to long-term health and vitality. In this podcast, you will discover: How heart rate acts as a truth teller for your internal state. Why heart rate variability is a key indicator for chronic illness. The negative impact of alcohol and late meals on your sleep. How to use morning data to decide your daily activity level. Why the best health strategies like sunlight and fasting are free. How a physician transformed his own life using personal data.   EPISODE RESOURCES Use the code torkil10 for a 10%  discount on https://superstate.no/collections/bioptimizers Instagram

Eating plant-based can be really confusing at times, especially if this is a completely new eating pattern for you. And sometimes manufacturers don't help. They tend to make the plant-based diet world even more overwhelming and confusing by the products they market to you.

In this episode, I'll tell you why you need to be smart when choosing plant-based or vegan commercial products to buy and why you can't just take packages at face value. I'll also share a fun personal story involving my husband related to this topic.

If your child has dropped food after food, won't try new things no matter what you do, and every mealtime feels like a battle — this episode is the first in a four-part series where I get personal.I'm sharing the story of my oldest son Cooper, who at his lowest point was eating only Honey Nut Cheerios out of a single specific bowl. I walked through grocery store aisles sobbing, frantically looking for protein bars he might eat. I watched him go through the SOS feeding protocol in occupational therapy and add foods only to drop them again. I tried sneaking vitamins into his chocolate milk. Nothing was gaining traction — and I didn't understand why.In this first episode, I walk you through the years before I had a PDA lens: my own food-focused parenting, the Montessori methods I tried that he refused, the escalating meltdowns around eating, the developmental pediatrician who shamed me for not cooking every meal from scratch, and the moment I finally understood that the root cause of Cooper's eating struggles was not primarily sensory — it was autonomy and equality based.I also talk about what happened when I stopped the SOS feeding protocol, lowered demands around food, and gave him true autonomy around what, when, and where he ate — and what his eating looks like seven years later.This episode is for parents currently in the fear of it, for parents whose children have been diagnosed with ARFID or anorexia and haven't responded to traditional approaches, and for feeding therapists and other professionals who are wondering if there is another way to think about what they're seeing.This is also the first episode in a four-part series. Part 2 covers the logic of viewing eating through a PDA lens. Part 3 covers practical accommodation strategies. Part 4 is tailored specifically to feeding therapy settings.Key TakeawaysThe mango slice that changed everything | 00:07:29 Cooper was about four and a half when he wanted a third or fourth mango slice and I said no. He physically fought me for it, and it escalated into a two-hour screaming meltdown. After that, he refused to eat mango slices entirely — dropping yet another food from his repertoire. That moment was one of the first times I saw the pattern, though I didn't have a framework for it yet.Why the SOS feeding protocol stopped working | 00:16:05 We started the SOS protocol — a 30-step sensory-based exposure approach — and early on it was progressing. Looking back, I understand now that there was novelty, one-on-one attention, and a lot of autonomy built into the early stages because he didn't have to actually eat anything. But when we moved the protocol into the home during the pandemic, the novelty and dopamine were gone, and the rigid structure became something his nervous system perceived as a demand. He stopped engaging entirely.Dropping foods rather than expanding them | 00:19:43 The occupational therapist noticed an unusual pattern: every time Cooper added a new adjacent food through sensory bridging, he dropped the one he had previously been eating. His repertoire wasn't expanding — it was staying flat. Through the PDA lens, I later understood that this was him exerting control to get back to nervous system safety: always needing to be in the position of the decider.The grocery store moment | 00:23:06 I was standing in the aisle of a grocery store frantically picking out protein bars in birthday cake and double fudge brownie flavors, anything I could have in my back pocket for him to potentially eat. I was sobbing. I had watched him drop chocolate milk — his one reliable source of protein. I didn't understand why nothing was working. That moment was when I knew that the frameworks I'd been using didn't apply.What shifted — and what seven years looks like | 00:26:46 When I finally understood that the root cause was autonomy and equality based — not primarily sensory — I made the decision to stop the SOS protocol, lower demands around food completely, and give him true autonomy: letting him choose what, when, where, and whether he ate, even if that meant Lay's potato chips, Pirate's Booty, and popcorn for almost two years. It was hard. There were moments I reverted, and I could immediately observe his eating reduce. But slowly, he began adding things back. Seven years later he eats carrots, apples, tacos, steak, salmon, pork shoulder, smoothies, pizza, and more — alongside processed food — and he is healthy and growing.Relevant ResourcesWhat is PDA? — Start here for a foundational overview.Free Burnout Masterclass — Cooper's eating crisis happened in burnout — learn more about burnout here.Is My Child PDA? — Take the free survey and/or class to help figure this out.

Coach Julie returns to the podcast for a conversation about building the “I can do hard things” identity. In this episode, Kathryn and Julie explore how the brain wants to keep us in what feels familiar, safe, and easy—and how that can keep us stuck in binge eating and other harmful habits. You'll learn how your capacity is greater than you think, how to start seeing yourself as someone who can do challenging things, and how small daily actions build real confidence over time. This topic applies not only to breaking free from binge eating, but also to anything you want to overcome, create, or accomplish in your life.

Is the “ick” factor of cannibalism nature or nurture? What does history tell us (& how much of it is a lie)? Bill Schutt, a PhD zoologist & author of Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History, answers these questions by sharing the history of human cannibalism. We discuss why accounts of historic cannibalism may have been exaggerated, cannibalism in Europe, eating placenta & taking holy communion. This episode originally aired July 11, 2022. If you liked this episode, you'll also like episode 327: HE ATE HIS OWN FOOT?!
