Breaking the Binge Cycle Through Permission, Not Control | Ep 323

After years of binge eating, emotional eating, and extreme dieting, Michelle tried something radical: she stopped restricting.In this episode, Michelle reflects on her 12-week journey of food freedom and how letting go of food rules, rather than doubling down on discipline, finally stopped the binge urges.We talk about why restriction fuels binge eating, how “food addiction” beliefs can keep people stuck, and why healing your relationship with food often needs psychological safety, not another plan.This conversation also explores hormones, self-blame, GLP-1 medications, and how to pursue health (protein, fiber, strength) without triggering old patterns.Book a retreat call HEREVisit the retreat website HERE FREE Resources:Download my [FREE binge eating tracker tool] To access more of my courses use this:https://stan.store/mindfoodstephDo you have any questions?
