Hi friends! Today, we're talking about kids! A lot of my clients who are also parents ask me, how can we actually raise kids to be intuitive eaters?
A lot of people stumble into intuitive eating after a period of dieting. But if a child has yet to be corrupted by diet culture, how do you encourage a healthy relationship with food?If you just look into the intuitive eating book, it is written for adults. So we can't just copy and paste all of the approaches for intuitive eating that is made for adults into how you are raising your kids.
So what do you do? Today I brought on nutrition, expert, nutrition PhD, dietitian, and mother of three, Dr. Taylor Arnold. We are going to be answering all of those questions that I'm sure many of you have had, like:
& so much more!
Check out Dr. Taylor & all of her amazing free resources for parents:

Olivia is a triathlete, IronMan athlete, and my lovely past group coaching client. Olivia came to me after decades of a tumultuous relationship with food. From Weight Watchers to binge eating, she was READY to heal.
When she started group coaching, she was actively training for an IronMan (which if you don't know consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride, and a marathon 26.22-mile run completed in that order, a total of 140.6 miles--WOW).
Her story is inspiring, relatable, and emotional. I hope this gives you hope that if Olivia can do this, so can you!
AND group coaching is currently open for enrollment! If you want to be sharing the same food freedom stories as olivia next year, apply now and let's overcome binge eating together!

You've likely heard me say to tune in to how food makes you feel after eating it, but what does that actually mean?
Sometimes it is very clear when something doesn't make you feel so good, like when you immediately have some sort of symptom following eating like a stomach ache, heart burn, reflux, etc. But those more direct and obvious symptoms aren't the majority of signals we can use to best attune to our body and meet our needs.
That's what we're getting into today!

Have you ever heard a podcast or watched a YouTube video by a well-known, qualified professional that just left you feeling like you just need to cut out more food in order to lose weight to be healthy?
It can be such a head spin...
I have some favorite self-help youtubers and podcasters that I like to listen to, but I get whiplash with the random health advice:
- Don't eat sugar
- Fast until noon
- Cold plunge!
I know to tune out the "black and white" rules that aren't helpful or applicable to my lifestyle, but you may not know how to do that.
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on why you should be cautious about weight loss and nutrition advice you hear online, even if they claim they are "backed by science".
Binge eating is common enough with ADHDers that some sources recommend screening for it with an ADHD diagnosis.
Contrary to stereotypes, ADHDers don't just binge impulsively because they are seeking dopamine for pleasure.
Yes, dopamine plays a role in ADHD symptoms, but binge eating often stems from more unmet needs – physical, emotional, or psychological.
This is what we are diving into today!
We chat about soooo much (and yet still…not enough) related to the intersection of ADHD and binge eating, like:

Did you know that you are about 3-4x more likely to struggle with binge eating if you have PCOS?
It makes sense for two reasons: the metabolic changes that increase hunger and cravings, and the physical symptoms.
So..
We're covering all this and more in today's episode with registered dietitian and PCOS expert, Sam Abbott.

It's easy to think that the more portion control you have, the less likely you will be to binge. However, this is more likely to leave you feeling out of control when your body continues to fight back at your attempts to restrict.
Listen in to hear about how portion sizes just fuel your restrict/binge cycle, and tips to start breaking this mentality!

Hi hello! Welcome back to Behind The Binge Podcast.
Last week I had a discovery call with someone who was interested in my coaching program. She was skeptical about my methods since another intuitive eating coach told her to just eat whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, and she would eventually stop binge eating...
She was told that any sort of structure on her journey to healing her relationship with food is restrictive.
After releasing all rules and trying to just "listen to her body", she was left feeling overwhelmed, out-of-control with food, and bingeing more than ever...🥴
Well, I'm here to tell you that my jaw almost hit the floor 😱 when she told me this because this is absolutely not true, and this type of advice could lead someone who struggles with binge eating to get stuck in an even deeper binge spiral. Binge eating already in and of itself is highly chaotic, so adding in advice that is also pretty chaotic is a recipe for disaster, to say the least.
So in todays episode I want to share:
- When structure and planning can support binge eating recovery
- What a structured approach might look like
- When structure might not be so helpful
- How to eat intuitively while still having structure

It's February which means people are just over a month into their new year's resolutions. Because of this, a lot of my clients are feeling influenced by before and after pics or diet updates on social media.
If you're on a journey to heal your relationship with food, this can throw you off path. Feeling triggered by weight loss content can re-activate a binge cycle. So in today's episode, I'm sharing 4 questions to ask yourself in order to reflect on why you're feeling influenced by diet culture online and how to begin to re-align back with your here-and-now goals.

Do you feel you’re more prone to binge eat when you’re home alone? I've been there!
Being home alone to binge can feel like a relief, as we don’t have to worry about what someone else might think if we’re consuming large amounts of food.
But we KNOW we don't want to binge, yet we still can't stop. Why?
That's what today's episode will dive into!
I discuss:
3 main triggers for binge eating when home alone
How to deepen your understanding of those triggers to take an informed, alternative action
How to reduce the shame around binge eating
& more!

Today we are going to be exploring the possibility of a binge freedom hierarchy of needs. Similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, some things in binge recovery are more critical to address before others. Meaning, you can't try to meditate to cope with your emotions on an empty stomach.
You will learn how to prioritize what needs are not being met and why you may feel stuck at times knowing what you "should" be doing but not having the motivation to do it.

Today we are joined by my past group coaching client, Emily H. Emily was part of behind the binge academy for 6 months starting in February 2022.
When she first started, she struggled with the all-or-nothing mentality. She was big on healthy eating and macro counting, down to every gram, and working out excessively, but then would find herself on the other end of the spectrum bingeing, purging, and isolating.
Can you relate?
On her application for behind the binge academy, she mentioned her goals. She said she would like to break free from bingeing and obsessing over food. She wanted a balanced life without being focused on perfection.
I'm so excited to share her story with you today so you can how she accomplished exactly that! From bingeing and restricting, and bikini competitions, to a balanced, healthful life of food freedom.
I want to remind you that behind the binge academy is open for enrollment RIGHT NOW. The academy is my signature group coaching program following my proven framework to give you everything you need to find binge freedom. It’s 3 months of group coaching and online modules that will help you rewire your binge brain, regulate your appetite, build body trust & attunement, and create a healthful life without restrictions of diet culture.
It only opens a few times a year and I don’t want you to miss this cohort before the year ends. This is the exact program Emily did to overcome binge eating and I would love to help you do the same. For more information and to apply, go to https://www.behindthebinge.com/behindthebingeacademy/
