After a comically long hiatus... we're back!

My guest on today’s show is Olga Rhodes, a food relationship coach specialising in eating disorder recovery, with a particular focus on Binge Eating Disorder (BED), a mental illness that despite its prevalence, continues to be relatively misunderstood.

Binge Eating Disorder affects around 2% of the population and accounts for nearly half of all eating disorders, making it the most common food-related disorder - it was officially recognised by the DSM5 in 2013.

After a 10 year struggle with her own food addiction, which involved a repetitive cycle of restrictive dieting followed by binging episodes, Olga finally broke the cycle and left her career in finance to share her learnings about BED and support other sufferers in their recovery from BED. Her mission is "to help you heal from within yourself, that is to overcome your struggles through the power of holistic healing".

Olga holds a Masters in Biomedical Science from the University of Aberdeen and has trained with the Kresser Institute; as well as with the Dr Dorie training academy in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy. 

Today, we’ll be demystifying, and (hopefully), destigmatising binge eating disorder, looking at how to recognise the warning signs and be able to differentiate between the occasional Sunday blowout and a diagnosable eating disorder.

Olga will also be giving us a peek into her food freedom mastery program, which provides a useful framework in building a healthy relationship with food.
