Are you binge eating… or just overeating? And does the difference really matter?

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down why focusing on labels like binging versus overeating often keeps people stuck and why the real issue isn’t food at all, but the feeling of being out of control.

Whether you’re struggling with binge eating, emotional eating, or repeated overeating, this episode explains why both experiences are valid, painful, and worthy of healing. Mary explores the deeper root causes behind feeling out of control with food, including restriction, nervous system dysregulation, emotional overwhelm, and the need for control.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between binge eating and overeating and why obsessing over the label can block healing

• How restriction, stress, and nervous system imbalance drive overeating and binge cycles

• The science-based approach to healing your relationship with food

• The spiritual and emotional work required to release control and build food freedom

• Why true recovery comes from addressing overwhelm, not trying to “fix” food

If you feel ashamed, stuck, or frustrated with your eating behaviors, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a path forward. Healing is possible and it starts by addressing the root cause, not the symptoms.
