Behind The Binge

Hi friends! Today, we're talking about kids! A lot of my clients who are also parents ask me, how can we actually raise kids to be intuitive eaters?

A lot of people stumble into intuitive eating after a period of dieting. But if a child has yet to be corrupted by diet culture, how do you encourage a healthy relationship with food?If you just look into the intuitive eating book, it is written for adults. So we can't just copy and paste all of the approaches for intuitive eating that is made for adults into how you are raising your kids. 

So what do you do? Today I brought on nutrition, expert, nutrition PhD, dietitian, and mother of three, Dr. Taylor Arnold. We are going to be answering all of those questions that I'm sure many of you have had, like:

& so much more!

Olivia is a triathlete, IronMan athlete, and my lovely past group coaching client. Olivia came to me after decades of a tumultuous relationship with food. From Weight Watchers to binge eating, she was READY to heal.

When she started group coaching, she was actively training for an IronMan (which if you don't know consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride, and a marathon 26.22-mile run completed in that order, a total of 140.6 miles--WOW).

Her story is inspiring, relatable, and emotional. I hope this gives you hope that if Olivia can do this, so can you!

AND group coaching is currently open for enrollment! If you want to be sharing the same food freedom stories as olivia next year, apply now and let's overcome binge eating together!

You've likely heard me say to tune in to how food makes you feel after eating it, but what does that actually mean? 

Sometimes it is very clear when something doesn't make you feel so good, like when you immediately have some sort of symptom following eating like a stomach ache, heart burn, reflux, etc. But those more direct and obvious symptoms aren't the majority of signals we can use to best attune to our body and meet our needs.

That's what we're getting into today!

Have you ever heard a podcast or watched a YouTube video by a well-known, qualified professional that just left you feeling like you just need to cut out more food in order to lose weight to be healthy?

It can be such a head spin...

I have some favorite self-help youtubers and podcasters that I like to listen to, but I get whiplash with the random health advice:

- Don't eat sugar

- Fast until noon

- Cold plunge!

I know to tune out the "black and white" rules that aren't helpful or applicable to my lifestyle, but you may not know how to do that.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on why you should be cautious about weight loss and nutrition advice you hear online, even if they claim they are "backed by science".

Binge eating is common enough with ADHDers that some sources recommend screening for it with an ADHD diagnosis.

Contrary to stereotypes, ADHDers don't just binge impulsively because they are seeking dopamine for pleasure.

Yes, dopamine plays a role in ADHD symptoms, but binge eating often stems from more unmet needs – physical, emotional, or psychological. 

This is what we are diving into today!

We chat about soooo much (and yet still…not enough) related to the intersection of ADHD and binge eating, like:

Did you know that you are about 3-4x more likely to struggle with binge eating if you have PCOS? 

It makes sense for two reasons: the metabolic changes that increase hunger and cravings, and the physical symptoms. 

So..

We're covering all this and more in today's episode with registered dietitian and PCOS expert, Sam Abbott.

It's easy to think that the more portion control you have, the less likely you will be to binge. However, this is more likely to leave you feeling out of control when your body continues to fight back at your attempts to restrict.

Listen in to hear about how portion sizes just fuel your restrict/binge cycle, and tips to start breaking this mentality!

Hi hello! Welcome back to Behind The Binge Podcast.

Last week I had a discovery call with someone who was interested in my coaching program. She was skeptical about my methods since another intuitive eating coach told her to just eat whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and she would eventually stop binge eating...

She was told that any sort of structure on her journey to healing her relationship with food is restrictive.

After releasing all rules and trying to just "listen to her body", she was left feeling overwhelmed, out-of-control with food, and bingeing more than ever...🥴

Well, I'm here to tell you that my jaw almost hit the floor 😱 when she told me this because this is absolutely not true, and this type of advice could lead someone who struggles with binge eating to get stuck in an even deeper binge spiral. Binge eating already in and of itself is highly chaotic, so adding in advice that is also pretty chaotic is a recipe for disaster, to say the least.

So in todays episode I want to share:

- When structure and planning can support binge eating recovery

- What a structured approach might look like

- When structure might not be so helpful

- How to eat intuitively while still having structure
