Dana and Cristina dig into the topics of overeating, scavenger eating, binge eating, and binge eating disorder today to answer the question: am I overeating? am I binge eating? They find there are a lot of misconceptions and mis-(self)-diagnoses between these terms both in what they see in their nutrition practices and in general. In this episode they talk you through the differences on this spectrum of comfortable, neutral eating all the way to what might be considered Binge Eating Disorder (BED), so you can better identify patterns within yourself and how you can seek out help if need. PLUS, they discuss tools that are promoted in the diet world that *will not fix your binge eating or overeating* and actually only make it worse!

 Bonnie Roney is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who helps women eat without guilt by giving diet culture the middle finger & improving body image. On today’s episode we’re digging into how to heal from the root cause of binge eating and disordered eating! We’re also discussing how a lot of healthy eating and lifestyle tips are often rooted in disordered eating behaviors, and more often than not, perpetuate disordered eating rather than a true reciprocal relationship with food and your body.

Dr. Gregory Dodell joins us on today’s episode for a discussion on HAES in endocrinology, weight stigma in the medical industry, and how he works on conditions like type 2 diabetes and PCOS in his practice from a NON-weight centered approach. Dr. Dodell is a New York-based endocrinologist who emphasizes that weight is not actually a behavior that we can use to control endocrine conditions. Dana and Cristina also discuss how to set some boundaries with your health care professionals (if necessary) around body and weight talk, and self-advocacy in the healthcare world.

Marci Evans, RD is our guest today and we’re digging deep into the intersection of gut symptoms, mental health, chronic stress on the body and our relationship with food. You don’t have to have a diagnosable eating disorder, or severe disordered eating to experience gut issues that stem from a complicated relationship with food.  

Marci also guides the conversation around clients who feel like they can’t break up with diet culture or elimination protocols because they have gut issues, and how she helps people overcome this roadblock in her practice. And because we’re all big nerds, we’re diving into even more about the gut-brain connection and the vagus nerve, and how they are impacted by stress around food and food rules.
