Brain over Binge Podcast

In Part 3 of the Food Noise series, Kathryn shares 7 mindset-based tips to help you respond to food noise in a way that supports recovery and peace around eating. Instead of trying to force the noise to disappear, this episode helps you shift out of fear, resistance, and over-monitoring so the thoughts feel less urgent and less personal. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between normal thoughts about food and the kind of “noise” that feels harmful, and how to redirect your attention back to your life in a calm, supportive way, building more self-trust over time.

In Part 2 of the Food Noise series, Kathryn explores how the modern food environment and intense cultural pressure around bodies and weight contributes to an overabundance of thoughts about food. This episode is designed to help you better understand why the noise shows up, so you can approach it with less self-blame and more self-compassion. Kathryn acknowledges that some people are more sensitive to today’s environment than others and uses a thoughtful comparison to other natural drives to show that increased “noise” doesn’t have to dictate your actions.

Food noise is getting a lot of attention right now, and it can be easy to assume it’s the reason binge eating happens. But this episode focuses on one essential recovery truth: binge eating is never a solution to food noise. In Part 1 of this new series, Kathryn explains how food noise and urges to binge can be related without being the same thing, why bingeing often amplifies food noise, and why you can’t wait for a quiet mind to stop binge eating. You’ll also hear why staying binge-free is the first step toward finding real solutions for food noise.

I’m joined by Bonnie Roney, RD, intuitive eating counselor, and founder of Diet Culture Rebel—to help you avoid the common food and weight traps that show up as we approach the new year. If you’re someone who starts a diet plan every January and ends up back in the binge cycle, consider that the diet isn’t the solution—it’s the problem. This conversation invites you to shift toward nourishment instead of restriction, learn your own needs, and fuel your life.

Kathryn and Coach Julie explore how gentle humor can support recovery—without minimizing the seriousness of binge eating or eating disorders. You’ll learn how bringing some laughter into certain situations can help pull you out of fight-or-flight and harsh self-criticism, so you can make clearer, more grounded choices. You’ll also learn how humor can soften perfectionism, and change the way you relate to urges so that you can more easily dismiss them.

There is a widespread idea that bingeing has “protective” value for the binge eater—protection from difficult emotions, pain, stress, and other problems. I remember believing this when I was bulimic, and I know how convincing it can feel. In this episode, I talk about why the protection narrative may be holding you back in recovery, and how you can learn to see that bingeing isn’t safety—it’s dangerous and it’s hurting you. You can learn to recognize and dismiss the protection thoughts and realize you’re much safer without binge eating.

Kathryn and Coach Julie explore the idea of bringing integrity into your recovery from binge eating, which can help you have more clarity and motivation. We’ll talk about what integrity looks like in many different aspects of recovery. You’ll learn why integrity is not the same as perfection, and instead, it’s about following through with what you want for yourself in the moments that matter most.

In this episode, I unpack the “binge inevitability mindset”—the belief that a binge is destined to happen at some point. Binge inevitability thoughts can sound like, “I know I’m eventually going to give in and binge anyway, so I might as well just get it over with.” You’ll learn why these binge inevitability thoughts show up, and how to reject them so that you can stop binge eating and prove to yourself that it is never inevitable.

Kathryn and Coach Julie explore how visualization can support binge eating recovery—not through wishful thinking, but by helping your brain rehearse what you actually want to do. Whether it’s dismissing urges, eating adequately, or facing challenging situations around food, visualization helps strengthen your higher brain and prepare you to act in line with your goals.
