Have you ever imagined the worst about the future, convinced you know exactly how things will go—and it’s never in your favor? In this episode of The Binge Cure with Dr. Nina, I’m tackling a hidden habit many of us have: future forecasting. This isn’t about predicting the weather or reading horoscopes; it’s about the mental spiral of anticipating negative outcomes, and how this feeds directly into anxiety.

When we get trapped in what if thinking, that anxiety often leads to binge eating as a way to cope. In this episode, I break down what future forecasting is, how it’s shaped by our past experiences, and why it triggers anxiety. Most importantly, I’ll share some powerful strategies to manage that anxiety without turning to food, so you can finally break free from the cycle.

If you often worry about things that haven’t even happened yet—whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, or losing control—this episode is for you. Learn how to shift your focus from what if to what is and take control of your relationship with food.
