In this episode, Gina sits down with Sandra Elia for a powerful conversation about the difference between emotional eating and compulsive eating, and why that distinction matters more than people think. Together, they explore how restriction fuels the binge/restrict cycle, how loneliness and shame can trigger deeper patterns with food, and why self-judgment often keeps people stuck. Sandra shares candid insights from her own journey and explains why sustainable change isn’t just about what you eat, but how you think, cope, and care for yourself. It’s an honest, compassionate look at breaking the loop and finding a way forward rooted in awareness, support, and self-love.
