This week we are talking about binge eating and how to feel relaxed around food with Isabel Foxen Duke. Isabel has been influential in both of our journeys to recovery from dieting and also our progression into becoming anti-diet coaches and developing our understanding of binge eating. She has an incredible amount of knowledge about food and how restriction of food ultimately affects our ability to trust ourselves with what we need and want. In this episode, she shares her knowledge and over a decade of experience with us on how to truly understand why we feel so out of control around food. Isabel Foxen Duke is the creator of Stop Fighting Food, a Video Training Series & Master Class for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food." After years of trying to overcome binge eating disorder through weight-normative approaches, Isabel discovered the critical role of acceptance, surrender and social inquiry in the binge eating recovery process—and has been sharing her insights with clients and professionals ever since. A thought leader in the Intuitive Eating and Body Positive movements, Isabel has been featured in publications like Elle Magazine and Refinery 29, and has been widely praised by influencers like Ricki Lake and Lena Dunham. Isabel lives in San Francisco where she runs virtual group coaching programs for clients and professionals around the world.

Isabel Foxen Duke shares on PHIT for a Queen Her first diet was as a child encouraged by her pediatrician from that point felt she was always in a dieting cycle. Finally, after years went to treatment for binge eating learning that binges are caused by dieting. The constant pursuit was the problem in itself. We must separate health from weight. Making a wellness mask for vanity. There is NO evidence that larger bodies cause chronic illnesses. “Blaming poor health on fatness is like blaming lung cancer on yellow teeth” Linda Bacon Culturally we have given people the opportunity to make dieting a moralistic value. We now know that dieting leads to bias thus making weight a status symbol Stop saying healthy when you mean skinny Trying to lose weight by dieting is like trying to win money with the lottery Most people that have lost weight on a diet have had some rebound. We must address our own weight bias I was taught to fear weight gain and thin was rewarded Prioritize mental health as part of your health equation! My mental health is avoiding the judgment of my food and body.

I am so excited to share with you my guest interview with Isabel Foxen Duke. I have to admit to being a little bit of a fangirl of Isabel and her work. I have struggled through a lot of the stuff that Isabel is so brilliant with working with women on like weight-cycling, food issues, and emotional eating. She helps women stop feeling crazy around food. So, are you always on the diet wagon or waaaay the f**k off it? I myself have zero neural pathways around healthy thinking or belief systems as far as food goes. Sure, I’ve learned a few things through therapy and from doing the work, but I still am really early in my own weight recovery journey. I can guess that many of my listeners are in a similar boat. And that’s why I invited Isabel to the show. She shares her expertise on letting go of the struggle with food and also offers great insight on weight recovery and its effect on relationship dynamics. Show Highlights Isabel shares openly about her experience with diet culture starting at the age of 3 years old (yes, you read that correctly - she was put on a diet at the age of 3) (5:42 seconds) Letting go of the struggle and how Isabel came to the work she is doing now (21:22) Surrendering to ‘bottoming out’ and understanding that eating a cookie when you are sad is a-okay (28:55) The delusion of control and how recovery is the process of surrendering over and over again (29:27) What surrendering actually looks and feels like (32:00) Weight restoration, understanding that gaining weight when you stop dieting is completely healthy and recovering from post-diet trauma (33:31) Shame over clothing sizes, body image issues and cutting through your own B.S. rationalizations (45:19) Healthy weight gain post-recovery, its effect on relationships, and being with someone who does not support your recovery (47:20) Dealing with family and friends who you can’t divorce and do not understand your weight recovery journey (1:03:20) Learn More About Isabel: Isabel Foxen Duke is the Creator of Stop Fighting Food — a free video training program for women who want to "stop feeling crazy around food."

Isabel Foxen Duke is a force: she gets right at what she perceives is imprisoning women in the cycle of dieting and then, inevitably, binging. She fearlessly calls out restriction as the root cause of all binging, and discusses what is rarely talked about in the conversation about women and food: the possibility that our bodies have a weight that they want to be, and that trying to manipulate that will inevitably get us into trouble. In this interview, we discuss: Why women are so afraid of gaining weight Why thinness has become the ideal of attractiveness in our cultural milieu Why binging is a sign of health Is food really addictive? The difference between what Isabel teaches and "Intuitive Eating" How we can live surrounded by cultural stigma and still have a happy and fulfilling life And so much more.

In today's episode, you'll hear Isabel's top 3 tips for creating joy in life, work, and love, which are: 1. Embrace uncertainty in life. Remember every morning that you have no idea what's going to happen. Shed yourself of expectation. Let that be a thrill. It won't all be figured out right now, and it doesn't need to be. 2. Don't resist the moment. Allow what's happening to happen. Sink in and get comfortable with whatever human experience you're having. 3. Practice the skill of enjoyment. Practice enjoyment as an active verb, rather than a passive one. With Isabel's wisdom and my curiosity, we were guided into such a beautiful, spiritual conversation. Isabel, thank you so much, Sister, for showing up so big on today's episode. I'm forever a fan! Have an amazing weekend you guys and don't forget to connect with Isabel. She's amazing!
