#195 Under-Eating, Overtraining & the Binge Cycle w/ Elin Grandstrand

You train hard.You eat “clean.”You try to stay disciplined. So why do you still feel out of control around food? In this episode I’m joined by Elin Granstrand, founder of one of Australia’s leading binge eating recovery programs for health-conscious women. And we’re unpacking a truth most of the fitness industry completely misses… Under-eating and overtraining are two of the biggest drivers of binge eating. Not lack of discipline.Not “poor willpower.”Your biology. We talk about what actually happens inside the body when restriction, intense training, and chronic dieting collide. Because when the female body feels deprived… it fights back. And that’s when the binge cycle begins. Inside this conversation we cover: • Why disciplined women who train regularly still struggle with binge eating• The biological drivers behind binge cycles• How restriction and overtraining disrupt female hormones• The role of leptin, ghrelin, cortisol and blood sugar crashes• Why PMS cravings and IBS flare-ups often follow binge episodes• What’s actually happening in the body before a binge starts• Why shame keeps women trapped in the cycle• How to fuel training properly without triggering binge behaviour• What food freedom actually looks like for active women If you’ve ever thought: “Why can I be so disciplined everywhere else… but not with food?” This episode will likely hit home. And more importantly…It will show you why you’re not broken.
