Harnessing the Power of Conscious Ritual to Overcome Binge Eating – In Session with Marc David


Listen Later

Night-time binge eating. 

It’s a pastime that many people struggle with, and can feel truly insurmountable.

But nightly binge eating doesn’t have to get the best of you. 

The reality is, there’s a clear road to recovering our power and being in control with food – all that’s needed is a deeper understanding of why nighttime binge eating – otherwise known as “nighttime eating syndrome” – happens, and a wise framework for overcoming it.

In this episode, we meet guest coaching client, Megan, who would like to finally break free from this challenging nighttime habit. 

As a former fitness competitor, Megan spent many years on a low-calorie diet. Eating only 1,200 calories a day, and exercising extremely hard, Megan would find herself ravenous at night. And this would inevitably lead to giving into unwanted cravings – and heavy duty self-rejection.

Years later, Megan is no longer competing, and isn’t so restrictive with her diet. She eats well, and takes care of her body. And yet, she hasn’t been able to kick her nightly binge eating … a habit that takes a full 2 hours every night snacking, munching, and roaming the kitchen for food.

Disempowered and deflated, Megan feels like a failure with food.

As Marc David helps Megan see – it’s understandable given her history that she’s having a hard time kicking her nightly binging. Bringing compassion and self-awareness to the table is the first step in transforming nighttime eating syndrome.

The next step is identifying an effective approach that addresses the root problem.

And that’s where things get really interesting in this episode!

Marc offers Megan a soulful, unusual approach to healing binge eating that you won’t hear anywhere else.

So, please be sure to tune into this powerful episode to discover this beautiful tool in overcoming binge eating! Marc gets to the heart of why we eat at night, and how to gently transform it without the fight or struggle. 

Some of the key insights & practices you’ll learn:

✅ The concept of “conscious ritual” – and why it matters.

✅ Identifying nourishing nightly rituals that powerfully transform binge eating.

✅ The relationship between “fast eating” and nighttime cravings

✅ The counterintuitive need to stop fighting and criminalizing nighttime eating.

✅ Learning to trust pleasure & how to make friends with food.

✅ And much more…
