259: Why You Can't Fix Your Eating Disorder (And What Actually Works) - with Matty Lansdown

Matty explains that eating disorders and unhealthy food patterns often stem from unresolved emotional experiences, including stress, shame, and even past trauma. In many cases, food becomes a coping mechanism—a way for the brain to regulate difficult emotions or create a sense of control. This is why traditional approaches to gut health, weight loss, and nutrition often fail to create lasting change.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Root Causes of Eating Disorders (trauma, psychology) Sexual Trauma & Its Impact on Food Behavior Orthorexia & "Healthy Eating" Extremes Defining Eating Disorders (spectrum vs extremes) Biology & Gender Differences in Eating Disorders Healing process & step-by-step framework   More from Matty Lansdown: Website: mattylansdown.com Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach Youtube: @therealweightlosscoach Listen to Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
