Rewiring the Urge to Binge: Finding Food Freedom

In this powerful and deeply hopeful conversation, Holly sat down with Kathryn Hansen, author and podcast host of Brain over Binge, to explore binge eating disorder, what it truly is, and how real healing is possible.Kathryn shares her personal recovery story and the brain-based approach that helped her fully recover from binge eating. Together, we unpack what binge eating disorder actually is, and what it isn’t, and explore how binge urges become wired as habits in the brain. We talk about how dieting, under-eating, or under-fueling the body can fuel the binge cycle, and why binge eating is not a willpower problem, but a conditioned neurological response.This episode gently separates shame from science. Kathryn explains how the binge urge is a learned brain pattern, not a reflection of your worth, brokenness, or lack of discipline. When we understand how the brain forms habits, we can begin rewiring the urge to binge in a practical and empowering way, without endless self-analysis or self-blame.We explore whether full recovery is truly possible, how to begin separating your higher brain from binge urges, and how to create a healthy, trusting relationship with food, your body, and yourself. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of restricting, bingeing, and blaming yourself, this conversation is a reminder that you are not broken, and you are not alone. True freedom with food doesn’t come from more control. It comes from understanding, nourishment, and rewiring.Healing is possible. 📲Connect with Kathyrn: ⁠Brain Over Binge Podcast⁠⁠Website ⁠⁠Instagram⁠✨Learn more about ⁠The Journey Back Home to Self Program⁠ to truly heal your relationship with yourself, your body and food. 📲Follow The Multiple Truths Podcast on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you resonate with our content and want to support the show, please leave us a review, it truly helps us grow and reach more listeners.
