Releasing excess body fat, getting stronger and getting healthier doesn't require more discipline, more restriction, or trying harder, but learning to relate to yourself differently.In this episode, I explore 9 reframes that change the way you approach your body, food, emotions, and the process of body transformation.These mindset/paradigm shifts will move you from resistance to relationship aka from fighting yourself to working with yourself so that instead of feeling like a drag, it feels empowering to make healthy choices.Instagram: @mindful_shapeGet the FREE Building Momentum 4 Part Video TrainingFree Self Coaching ResourcesInterested in getting coached by me?

Send us Fan MailDo you ever feel like your brain is constantly talking about food?What you should eat. What you shouldn't eat. Whether you're really hungry. What you'll have later. Whether you've eaten too much. Whether you should start again tomorrow…In this episode, we explore food noise: that exhausting, often relentless mental chatter around eating that can take up far more space in our minds than we realise.We'll look at why food can become so mentally consuming, how restriction and food rules can actually make the noise louder, and why emotional needs such as stress, tiredness, loneliness or simply needing a break can sometimes show up as thoughts about food.Most importantly, we'll move away from the idea that food noise is a sign of poor willpower or a lack of discipline. Instead, we'll explore what happens when we become curious about the noise rather than fighting it.Because perhaps the answer isn't to shout louder than the voice in your head.Perhaps it's to listen more kindly.A warm, honest conversation about food, our minds, and finding a little more peace around eating.Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.Philippe
"If it's in my house, I'll eat the whole thing. So I just don't buy it." Ice cream, chips, cookies, the good chocolate — whatever yours is, you've been handling it by keeping it out. And that works fine… until the food shows up at work, or at a party, or at your friend's place, or on the dessert menu. Because you can keep it out of your house but you can't keep it out of your life. This came from a question on a live Q&A call with my Thrive Academy for Overeating members. I'm walking you through the actual skill — how to be around that food without fighting it, and how it eventually stops being interesting at all. Chips were one of my biggest foods. They never lasted. Now there are half-open bags in my cupboard going stale because I forgot about them. I know that sounds impossible right now. I promise you it isn't. Listen to the full episode today to learn how.

Have you ever watched someone eat one homemade chocolate chip cookie with a cup of tea and then casually move on with their day?Meanwhile, the moment you eat something sweet, it feels like something switches in your brain.You have one cookie, immediately want another and start telling yourself:“I should only have one.”“Why can't I stop?”“I've already messed up.”Before you know it, you've eaten several cookies, feel painfully full and promise yourself you'll do better tomorrow. You might even throw out whatever is left or swear you'll never bake cookies again.But the people who can eat one cookie and move on usually aren't forcing themselves to stop at one.They aren't following a strict rule.Their body and brain simply feel content and satisfied.In this episode, I'm breaking down why putting pressure on yourself to “just have one” can actually make you feel more impulsive around food and what needs to change for stopping to begin feeling natural.You'll learn:Why the rule “I can only have one” can activate your inner rebelHow guilt after a second cookie can turn into an all-or-nothing bingeWhy being ravenously hungry makes it harder to feel satisfiedWhy being overly full can also trigger continued eatingThe difference between eating from a craving and eating from an urgeWhy feeling calm and regulated matters when eating a trigger foodWhy simply keeping trigger foods in the house does not automatically build trustHow your beliefs about a food influence how in control you feel around itHow to begin rebuilding trust with cookies, peanut butter, bread, chocolate, chips, ice cream or another triggering foodI also share client examples of women who are beginning to feel safer around foods they once ate frantically, secretly or straight from the package including peanut butter and bread.You are not broken, and you are not the exception.No matter how many times you've binged on a specific food, your brain can learn a new association with it. You can rebuild trust one experience, and one food at a time.Inside my four-week program, Trust With Trigger Foods, I walk you through the process of rebuilding trust with one specific food.You'll learn how to:Choose the right food to begin withReduce the fear and anxiety surrounding itRewire the beliefs that make you feel out of controlUnderstand when it is supportive to eat the foodCreate a calmer and safer eating experienceUse the same process with other trigger foods in the futureThe goal isn't to force yourself to keep food in the house or allow yourself to eat it whenever you think about it.The goal is to help your brain feel safe enough that you can enjoy the food without automatically spiralling into guilt, overeating or bingeing.JOIN TRUST WITH TRIGGER FOODSCONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/lorna_bingeeatingcoach/---> TikTok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach https://www.tiktok.com/@lorna_bingeeatingcoach

Why do you keep going back to the same eating patterns… no matter how disciplined you try to be?In this episode, I dive into the hidden connection between fear, restriction, and feeling out of control with food.If you're tired of starting over, feeling frustrated, and not understanding why this keeps happening, this conversation will give you clarity—and a completely different way to look at your relationship with food.The Root of the Cycle: Fear-Based EatingFor a long time, my relationship with food was rooted in fear.Fear of “bad” foods. Fear of breaking food rules. And when food becomes tied to fear, your body doesn't feel safe.It goes into protection.What I didn't know was when I restricted food — whether physically or mentally — I activated a very primitive part of my brain.The part that says: “There's not enough. We are not safe.”And when that happens, your nervous system shifts into fight, flight, or freeze. Your awareness narrows, and you start acting on autopilot.This is where overeating or binge eating can happen — not because you lack control, but because your body is trying to restore safety.There's a difference between real scarcity (not having food available) and imposed scarcity (restricting, dieting, labeling foods as “off limits”).But here's the truth: your body doesn't know the difference.If you create a restriction, your body responds as if it's in danger — and it will drive you toward food to survive.In those moments, it can feel like something takes over. Because it does.Your unconscious mind — the part of you that doesn't think logically but instead creates patterns through association — steps in.It links together: Emotions, Experiences, Beliefs, Memories, and Identity.And from those links, it creates automatic behavior.Your nervous system isn't just physical — it's informational.It stores past experiences, emotional patterns, beliefs about food, and the meaning you've assigned to those experiences.Every interaction you have with food creates data — and that data is shaping your current behavior.Once you understand the pattern, you can begin to shift it.Not through force. Not through more restriction. But through awareness.When you can see the pattern clearly, you can gently interrupt it.And that's where change begins.Struggling with unwanted eating behavior?

What if overeating isn't really about food? In this episode, Dr. Emily is sharing one of the biggest mindset shifts she has had in years—one that completely changed the way I understand emotional eating. It all started with a book about highly sensitive people, and what I discovered helped me connect the dots between sensitivity, self-soothing, and why so many of us turn to food when life feels overwhelming. If you've ever felt like you're "too much," struggled to calm your emotions without food, or wondered why willpower never seems to be enough, this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear. In this episode, you'll learn: Why being highly sensitive may be connected to emotional overeating. How childhood experiences can shape the way you cope with stress. Why awareness—not shame—is the first step toward lasting freedom. A simple mindset shift that can help you pause before turning to food. This episode is full of compassion, hope, and practical insight. If you've been blaming yourself for overeating, I hope it helps you see yourself in a whole new light.

Food can be the loudest voice in your head, even when you are not hungry. We sit down with best-selling author Sora Vernikoff, who healed her own compulsive overeating and built a no-diet weight loss program around one core skill: learning how to eat and stop. If you are tired of binge eating, yo-yo dieting, and that constant “what's next to eat” loop, this conversation offers a different path that focuses on behavior change rather than deprivation.We dig into Sora's framework for why overeating and overthinking often feel identical: both are driven by repeating thoughts you do not feel able to release. She breaks down the role of the subconscious mind, why willpower alone keeps failing, and how calming food thoughts can free up the strength to handle the uncomfortable feelings you have been trying to escape. If you have ever felt stuck in a mental replay, whether it's donuts in the kitchen or a fight you cannot stop rehashing, you will recognize yourself here.Sora also teaches a practical technique you can test immediately: the Green Technique. You ask “How much is enough?” and “How much is too much?” before you eat, then you set aside a clear “marker” amount you do not touch. That one move changes the moment from automatic eating to intentional portion control, while still allowing the foods you love. We also cover why diets so often backfire, how rigid rules can trigger binges, and where to find Sora's tools at nodieting.net and OverthinkersCoach.com.If this helps, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find real-world support for overeating, overthinking, and sustainable weight loss.

You can't solve a problem you haven't correctly identified. That's exactly why so many smart, successful women stay stuck in the cycle of overeating, guilt, and starting over on Monday. They're trying to fix the behavior without understanding what's actually driving it. In this episode, Coach Steph and I break down the three most common overeating patterns we see in women: emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating. Because while they can look similar on the surface, they're very different problems—and each requires a different solution. We'll help you identify what's really happening when you overeat so you can stop blaming your willpower and start making changes that actually last. In this episode, you'll learn: The key differences between emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating Why so many women mistakenly label every overeat as a binge The hidden role dieting and restriction play in binge eating How everyday habits can lead to weight gain without you realizing it Questions to ask yourself when you're eating outside of hunger Practical first steps you can start using today to interrupt overeating patterns If you've spent years calorie counting, starting over on Monday, and wondering why food feels harder for you than everyone else, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening and what to do about it.

What if your struggle with food and your body turns out to be the key to accessing your inner beauty?

Your late-night wine, snack spiral, or doomscrolling streak might not be a “discipline problem” at all.I'm Angela Shurina, and I'm digging into the surprising reason so many of us repeat self-sabotaging habits even when we know they wreck our sleep quality, mood, and next-day productivity.We start with a real coaching moment a client sums up perfectly: after a crushing week, 4 glasses of wine felt earned. When we slow down and get curious, the story shifts from guilt to clarity. The behavior isn't random, it's a fast state change. It helps a busy mind shut off, numb discomfort, or replace a missing sense of rest and connection. That's why shame and willpower alone keep failing, and why the real leverage point is the unmet need underneath the habit.Then we get practical with 3 simple experiments grounded in stress management and high performance principles to stop the self-soothing, self-sabotaging habit without willpower and discipline. We also talk ultradian rhythms, brain fatigue, and how your system will force rest anyway, so you might as well choose a version that doesn't steal from tomorrow.If this hit home, subscribe to Change Wired Podcast, share it with someone who needs a healthier stop button, and leave a quick review so more people can find these tools.What habit are you ready to replace first?Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

You overate. Now what?For many people, the hardest part isn't the food. It's the guilt, the shame, and the mental spiral that follows. One meal turns into a bad day, a bad day turns into a bad week, and suddenly you're convinced you've undone all your progress.In this episode, Ashley breaks down why overeating happens, why we react so strongly when it does, and how to recover without punishment, restriction, or starting over. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the “I blew it” mindset, this conversation will help you respond differently and get back to consistency faster.
Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Send us Fan MailMost adults who struggle with food didn't just wake up one day with a problem.Often, the story started much earlier.Maybe food was used as comfort.Maybe you were told to finish your plate.Maybe you were bullied about your body.Maybe dieting, shame, or feeling “not good enough” became part of your relationship with food.In this episode, I'm joined by Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, to talk about how childhood experiences shape emotional eating, overeating, body shame, and food struggles later in life.Kamy shares his own story of moving from Iran to Canada as a child, growing up overweight, being bullied, struggling with binge eating and bulimia, and later turning that pain into work that helps families break the cycle.We talk about: Why food struggles are rarely just about willpower How stress, shame, loneliness, and emotional needs can show up as overeating Why dieting as a child can create long-term damage How parents can support children without shame or punishment Why adults need to understand their own food story before passing patterns on How to start breaking the cycle with more awareness and compassion This conversation is for you if you've ever struggled with emotional eating — or if you're a parent who wants to help your child build a healthier relationship with food and their body.Because kids are not broken.Adults are not lazy.And food struggles are often about much more than food.

High protein is good, but by how much? (3:30) It depends on how active you are and your lean body mass; Vinnie shares some guidelines. And yes, you can gain fat if you eat too much protein. Vinnie recently started measuring his protein intake and realized he wasn't getting as much as he thought. (13:00) It was easy to find more ways to increase protein intake. Are protein powders worth the cost? (17:00) There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but Vinnie recommends using it sparingly, except in specific instances. There are a lot that are bastardized; also, only use unflavored ones. There was a recent study that discusses contaminants found in many protein powders. (20:00) Overeating protein will cause the body to store a certain percentage of the excess as fat. (21:00) Vinnie doesn't believe in a rigid window for eating protein after a workout. (27:00) When you eat whole animal protein, you will feel more satisfied. (32:00) Protein powder by itself doesn't have the fats, vitamins, or minerals that whole foods do. Training women in perimenopause and menopause is a newer trend. Women are getting back into the gym to get stronger and fight menopausal symptoms. (37:00) Gyms as a "third space": is it a good idea?

Most women don't struggle with knowing what to do… they struggle with doing it when life gets stressful. In this episode, we're talking about how everyday stress leads to mindless eating, skipped workouts, and falling off track — and what to do instead. Y ou'll learn how your thoughts about stressful situations impact your emotions and actions, and how small shifts can help you stay consistent even when life feels overwhelming. We'll walk through real-life examples like schedule changes and caring for others, plus simple ways to keep up with movement and healthy eating during busy or stressful seasons. If you feel like life keeps getting in the way of your health goals, this episode will help you approach it differently. Mentioned in this episode:
If you feel like you keep overeating… even when you don't want to… this is for you. You tell yourself you'll do better. You know what you should be doing. And then somehow… you still end up eating anyway. So you think: "I just have no control." "I need more discipline." "Why do I keep doing this?" But that's not actually the problem. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you keep overeating — and what's really going on before it even happens. Because most overeats don't just "happen" in the moment. They're set up earlier in your day… and even in your life. If you've ever felt like: you eat at night even when you're not hungry you keep blowing your diet for no reason you know what to do but still don't do it you feel out of control around food You need to hear this. There are real reasons you overeat — and once you understand them, weightloss stops feeling so hard. Get the Free Course here: http://NoBSFreeCourse.com

Do you "save up" calories all day so you don't blow it at night? Eat light. Eat small. Skip lunch. Just in case dinner is "heavy." And then somehow you still end up face down in the nachos? In this episode, I'm breaking down why under eating during the day is the exact reason you lose control at night. We'll talk about what's really happening in your brain when you don't eat enough, why your "thinking brain" shuts down, and why being hungry is not a moral victory. If you've ever said, "I'll just eat light now so I don't mess up later," this one is for you. Get the Free Course here: http://NoBSFreeCourse.com
