📋 In this episode of Ketobiography, Robyn sits down with recovery coach and somatic psychologist Kristina Dobyns to explore what it really takes to heal from binge eating, food addiction, and the binge–shame–repeat cycle. Kristina shares how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and diet culture collide, and why lasting recovery requires working with the body, not against it. Together, they discuss animal-based nutrition, somatic tools, and science-backed strategies to create safety, reduce cravings, and build a sane, sustainable relationship with food.

💡 What you’ll learn in this episode

• Why binge eating, emotional eating, and food obsession are rooted in biology and nervous system patterns rather than personal failure.
• How Kristina uses somatic psychology, sensory strategies, and interoceptive awareness to help women interrupt automatic binge cycles.
• The role of animal-based nutrition and metabolic health in stabilizing mood, cravings, and energy during recovery.
• How abstinence from trigger foods can coexist with flexibility, self-compassion, and a non-dogmatic approach to healing.
• Simple, doable practices you can start using now to create safety in your body and move beyond the binge–shame–repeat cycle.

🔑 Key Insight
