What would it feel like to sit down to a meal — any meal — without guilt, fear, or shame? To eat freely, joyfully, and without restriction?
For so many women, that feels impossible. In this episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Lisa Ungar — accredited eating disorder specialist, nutritionist, psychologist, and woman who has lived every step of this journey herself — for one of the most compassionate, liberating conversations on the show.
Lisa's story is one of hard-won freedom. Having navigated her own complex relationship with food and her body, she rebuilt that relationship from the inside out — through resilience, self-compassion, and a genuine commitment to understanding what food truly meant to her. Today, Lisa eats everything. Freely. Without shame. Without restriction. And with a love for her body she never thought possible. Now she helps other women do exactly the same.
Drawing from her expertise in nutrition, psychology, and her own lived experience, Lisa works with women to move away from food guilt, emotional eating, and body shame — and towards genuine food freedom, body confidence, and lasting peace with themselves.
In this episode, we explore:
— What eating disorders and disordered eating really look like for women — and why so many go unrecognised for years
— The powerful connection between food guilt, body shame, and self-esteem — and how healing one begins to heal all three
— What emotional eating actually is, what drives it, and how to start untangling your relationship with food without restriction or self-judgment
— Practical first steps for women who know their relationship with food needs to change but don't know where to begin
This is not a weight loss episode. This is not about restriction or discipline. This is about freedom — and every woman deserves to feel it.
