 She’s joining me today to talk about mindset things like navigating travel and holidays, body image challenges, and how to hold space for personal goals without them running your life.

Disordered eating, binge eating, food anxiety wouldn’t exist in many cases without body image struggles. And more often than not, just being told to accept your body isn't enough to create meaningful change. So if you're in a rough place in your relationship with your body, this episode of SNS is for you!

We’ll be covering some really important topics today like, what progress with binge eating looks like, why we keep eating sometimes even when we don’t want to, the forbidden food effect, how’s there’s more to feeling satisfied than just eating enough calories, and the effect of feeling like we’re missing out - what happens when we constantly try to choose the healthiest option, even when everyone around us is enjoying their favourite foods

My client Gus joins me today for a chat about living life in a larger body. There’s a tonne of noise out there about HAES, body positivity, anti-diet culture, etc - and a lot of it sounds good in theory, while missing the mark in practice. So let’s get into it.

Kathryn Hansen, author of Brain Over Binge, joins me today to talk about the rise of weight loss drugs in the binge eating space.

If you’ve ever struggled with food noise, binge eating, body image, or the ups and downs of dieting - especially if you're currently on or considering GLP-1 medications - this is an important conversation to hear.

Both Kathryn and I work closely with people navigating binge eating, and we’ve seen some clear shifts since GLP-1 meds gained traction as weight loss tools.

This isn’t medical advice - neither of us are doctors - but we’re sharing what we’ve observed on the ground, working 1:1 with clients in this rapidly changing landscape.

Struggling with food can feel even harder when your experience doesn’t fit neatly into any box. In this episode, one of my clients joins me to share his journey - navigating food, mental health, and that frustrating sense of not quite fitting in with the usual programs or support groups.
It’s an honest, hopeful conversation for anyone who’s ever felt like the outlier.

How can a little knowledge be dangerous? When we know enough to have strong convictions, but not enough to know the full story - this is what can happen when we chase the "perfect" diet. In this episode Dr. Lara Zibarras and I discuss the mental and physical affects of orthorexia,  without glossing over the realities of life in 2025 and why feeling like we're on track with the ideal diet feels so damn good!
