How Metabolic Therapies can drastically improve eating disorders - fascinating emerging field!

from Beyond Binge Eating

In this video, we explore a revolutionary shift in how we understand and treat eating disorders—through the lens of metabolic psychiatry.What if binge eating, food addiction, or even anorexia aren’t just psychological issues... but rooted in blood sugar instability, neuroinflammation, and metabolic dysfunction?This isn’t theory—it’s emerging science that’s already transforming lives.What You’ll Learn in this video:• Metabolic Psychiatry 101 – Why conditions like binge eating disorder and anorexia may stem from disrupted insulin, glucose, and neurochemistry—not just trauma or emotion. • The Ultra-Processed Food Trap – How modern foods activate the same reward pathways as addictive drugs—and how that rewires hunger, mood, and behavior. • An Impressive Ketogenic Case Study – Why a 2023 study found long-term remission in severe anorexia using a high-fat, low-carb animal-based diet—and what that could mean for future treatment. • Biochemical Repair or Willpower – Why recovery might depend less on psychology and more on nourishing the brain with the right fuel.If “all foods fit” left you stuck or made things worse, this video offers a bold, science-backed alternative. This is not about restriction—it’s about restoring balance from the inside out.Please like, subscribe, and share this video with anyone who might benefit from it.

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
