Highly Sensitive and Strong

23: Binge Eating & Sensitivity: Healing Food Struggles as a Highly Sensitive Person with Lucy Newport


Listen Later

If you’ve ever used food to numb emotions, soothe overstimulation, or escape anxiety—you are not alone. In this powerful interview, I sit down with binge eating recovery coach Lucy Newport to explore the unique challenges highly sensitive people face around food, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.


Lucy shares her personal 14-year struggle with binge eating and anxiety, and how healing her nervous system and embracing her sensitivity helped her find lasting freedom.

We discuss:

  • Why highly sensitive people are more prone to binge or emotional eating

  • The nervous system’s role in food behaviors

  • Why traditional recovery models often miss the mark for HSPs

  • Practical, compassionate steps to break free from shame and self-judgment


This conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and gentle encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, ashamed, or exhausted in their relationship with food.
