    The GLP-1 rebound effect - why you are still binge eating

    In this episode we’re tackling the elephant in the room: The GLP-1 Rebound. 💉If you’ve used these meds only to find the food noise come back the moment you stopped, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why suppression is NOT the same as healing, and why you can’t out-train (or out-medicate) a dysregulated nervous system.In this episode, you’ll learn:👉 Why GLP-1s temporarily fixes the symptoms but leave the emotional dysregulation untouched.👉 The "Identity Void" that leads to the post-medication crash.👉 How to actually fix the root cause so the results finally last.Stop outsourcing your regulation to a peptide. It’s time to build a habit that works for you long term, not just temporarily.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me

    Why so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attracting narcissistic partners

    Why do so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attract narcissistic partners?And why does it feel so hard to leave and end this cycle, even when you KNOW the relationship (or food) is hurting you?In this episode, we’re diving deep into:• Trauma bonds• The “I’m not good enough” wound• Why narcissistic relationships feel addictive• How perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel the cycle• And why binge eating often shows up alongside toxic relationshipsBecause this is not just about “choosing the wrong men.”So many women unconsciously recreate relationship dynamics that feel familiar to their nervous system.If you grew up feeling like love had to be earned,If you became the “good girl,” the fixer, the over-achiever,If your self-worth became tied to performance and validation,You are far more likely to tolerate emotionally unavailable, manipulative, or narcissistic partners.Not because you’re weak.Because your nervous system learned that chasing love feels normal.And the same wound that keeps you stuck in toxic relationships - often fuels binge eating too.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Why You’re Binging After Your Body Building Show (And What To Do About It)

    You didn’t suddenly lose your discipline the day after your show.You didn't become "lazy," and you didn't "break." After months of extreme restriction, rigid structure, and total control, your system is in a state of Biological Debt. Your brain isn't trying to sabotage you; it’s trying to save you.When the food noise hits a fever pitch,When you can’t stop scrolling through food posts,When you swing from "Stage Ready" to "Out of Control" in 48 hours, That is not a failure of character. It is a physiological response.It’s your body trying to restore balance. It’s your brain chasing the dopamine that disappeared the moment you stepped off stage. And it’s a nervous system that has been in "fight or flight" for so long it has forgotten how to feel safe.In this latest podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on:•The biological "why" behind post-show binges.•The Dopamine Crash: Why food noise feels like a physical scream right now.•The Real Fix: What actually works when "just be more disciplined" fails.Willpower won't fix a dysregulated nervous system. But understanding the mechanics of your own brain will.Ready to silence the noise and take back your power?My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Why You Feel Guilty When You Try to Change (And How This Is Driving Your Binge Eating)

    You’re not bingeing because you lack discipline.You’re bingeing because your body is trying to feel safe.And the moment you try to change - eat more, rest, stop the binge, you feel guilty.So you think:“I must be doing something wrong”But guilt isn’t a red flag, it’s a sign you’re doing something differentYour nervous system cares about what’s familiar, not what’s right.So if restriction and bingeing are familiar, healing WILL feel uncomfortable at first.This is why you keep going back to old patterns.Not because you’re broken.But because your body hasn’t learned it’s safe yet My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    Why Competing And Dieting Changes Your Relationship With Food - And How To Fix It

    Competing doesn’t just change your body, it changes your relationship with food.During prep, everything becomes controlled, tracked, and earned, and you unknowingly train your brain to see food as either “good” or “bad.”So when prep ends and you try to eat normally again, it doesn’t feel relaxed — it feels confusing, guilty, and out of control.That’s not a lack of discipline, it’s conditioning.And if you don’t fix it, you’ll carry it into every prep and off-season.In this episode I break down why this happens and how to actually build a healthy, stable relationship with food so you can last in this sport.

    FMG Pro Katie Alexander - Imposter syndrome and food noise post show, and how to come back better than ever

    This episode is for the competitor who stepped off stage,and didn’t recognise herself anymore.I sat down with FMG Pro and my client Katie, and we had a raw, honest conversation about the side of bodybuilding no one prepares you for.Not prep.Not peak week.But what happens after.We spoke about:• losing your identity post-show• imposter syndrome when you've won that crown• food noise that won’t switch off• bingeing and feeling out of control• and the guilt around putting yourself firstBecause for so many competitors, the hardest part of bodybuilding isn’t getting stage lean,It’s coming back from it.When the structure disappears.When the validation quiets down.When your body changes faster than your mind can keep up.And suddenly you’re asking:“Who am I without prep?”“Why do I feel so out of control?”“Why does food feel louder than ever?”This episode isn’t just about Katie’s journey.It’s about what happens when your identity is built around being “the disciplined one”and how to rebuild that identity in a way that actually lasts.Because longevity in this sport doesn’t come from just having the best physique.It comes from having the mindset and support to navigate everything that happens off stage.If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or like an imposter post-show…🎧 Listen now — (and send it to a competitor who needs to hear this 💗)Katie's IG: katiealexanderrMy Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening!

    All 1:1 clients can find the workbook to this episode in the portalIf you’re prepping for a bodybuilding show…this episode might be the most important one you listen to all season.Because most competitors spend months preparing their physique…but almost no one prepares for what happens after the stage.The post-show phase is where a lot of athletes quietly lose the sport.Not because they lack discipline.But because no one taught them how to handle:The next-day bluesExtreme hungerFood noiseBody changesOr the all-or-nothing mindset that turns one meal into a binge.And here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:If you wait until after your show to start working on your mindset around food…it’s already much harder.Because post-show you’re dealing with:Elevated hunger hormonesA dysregulated nervous systemMonths of restriction catching up with youAnd an identity that’s been tied to being stage lean.That’s not the moment to start learning emotional regulation.That’s the moment those skills are being tested.In this episode I talk about:• how to handle the day-after-show guilt and shame• how to deal with food urges without spiralling• why food noise happens after prep• how to enjoy off-plan food without the “I’ve blown it” mindsetBecause champions aren’t just the athletes who can suffer the most during prep.They’re the ones who can stay stable after the show.And that’s what creates longevity in the sport.

    In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible content creator, mum, and fellow gym girl — Taylah Harvey — for a raw, honest, and unfiltered conversation about the things women experience but rarely say out loud.We talk about the reality behind the highlight reels.The pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby.The mental toll of online hate.And what it’s really like navigating body image and food struggles in the public eye.Taylah opens up about her postpartum journey, the expectations placed on women’s bodies, and her own experience with disordered eating and binge eating.We also unpack why binge eating is often misunderstood — and why it’s so much harder to spot and recover from than people realise.This episode is about honesty.It’s about vulnerability.And it’s about reminding women that struggling silently isn’t strength — speaking up is.Inside this episode, we cover:• Taylah’s postpartum journey and the pressure to “bounce back”• The impact of online criticism and hate• Mental health and the importance of having real conversations• Eating disorders and Taylah’s personal experience• Why binge eating is so hard to identify and breakIf you’ve ever felt pressure to look a certain way, heal quickly, or hold it all together — this one is for you.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠WATCH MY FREE WORKSHOPTake my "how much do you spend on binge eating?"-testRewire your subconscious mind in 10 min with my subconscious rewiring meditations HERE ⁠Remember to SHARE the episode on your story and TAG me so I can say thank you for listening! Taylah's IG: _taylahfitt

    How to stop comparing yourself to others and feel GOOD ENOUGH

    In this episode I'm giving you a sneak peek into the modules of TEW, and this is a module I just added on Comparison.If comparison makes you want to binge, scroll, or “start again Monday” — this is for you.It’s not because you’re weak.It’s because comparison hits your self-worth, not your motivation.The moment you compare your body, discipline, or progress to someone else, your nervous system hears:“I’m not enough.”“I’m behind.”“I need to fix this.”My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠

    Stop sabotaging your gym progress on the weekends, Do THIS instead: (3 easy steps)

    If you’ve been beating yourself up for “not having discipline,” read that again.You’re not binging because you’re weak — you’re binging because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.Chronic stress rewires your brain to react, not choose… so of course you lose control around food, feel guilty, and still can’t stop.It’s not a you-problem. It’s a regulated-nervous-system problem.And when you fix the real root, everything changes — the urges calm down, the guilt dissolves, and you finally feel in control again.My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.⁠Book in a free call with me ⁠

    Why Binge Eating Thrives in Isolation — and How Connection Heals.

    You can’t heal what you keep hiding.For years, I thought if I just had more willpower, I could fix my binge eating on my own.I didn’t tell anyone. I thought no one would understand.And every time I promised myself, “This is the last time,”I found myself back in the same cycle — alone, ashamed, and starting over again on Monday.But here’s what I learned…👉 Binge eating thrives in isolation.Because the shame, secrecy, and hiding?That’s what keeps your nervous system in survival mode.You’re not binging because you’re broken —you’re binging because your body is craving safety and connection.And as long as you keep trying to “handle it alone,”you’ll keep repeating the same pattern.Healing starts the moment you stop hiding.The moment you let yourself be seen — messy, imperfect, and human.Because binge eating grows in isolation,but healing? Healing happens in connection. 💗My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.

    Why you never feel “good enough” (and how it fuels binge eating)

    Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you train, track, or restrict… it’s never enough? That belief didn’t just come out of nowhere — it’s rooted in childhood experiences of not being seen, validated, or accepted.In this episode, I unpack: Why the “not enough” story fuels binge eating How childhood dynamics shape adult food struggles What it really takes to heal and break the cycleThis isn’t about willpower.

    You Don’t Need to “Earn” Recovery

    Have you ever told yourself, *“I’ll get help once I lose a few kilos”… or, “I’m not bad enough yet to deserve recovery”?This belief keeps so many women stuck in the binge–restrict cycle — waiting until they’re “small enough” or “sick enough” before reaching for support. But the truth is: you don’t have to hit a certain weight before you’re allowed to stop suffering.In this episode, I share: Why the belief that you need to “earn” recovery keeps you bingeing How diet culture, fitness identity, and childhood conditioning fuel this mindsetThe real reason you deserve freedom right now — no matter what the scale says3 practical steps to start breaking free todayAnd inside The Empowered Woman, I help women stop binge eating, regulate their nervous system, and create lasting peace with food — without waiting until they “look the part.”You don’t need to shrink yourself before you deserve help.

You wake up Monday bloated, guilty, and promising yourself “this week will be different.” And yet, the cycle repeats.Here’s the truth: you don’t binge because you’re weak.

    How I'm toning up without tracking my food

    I thought tracking was the answer.If I could just hit the numbers, I’d finally be “in control.”But here’s the thing no one tells you: Tracking isn’t bad in itself — but how you use it matters.For me, it became an escape. A way to avoid emotions, numb discomfort, and feel “safe.”And when tracking stopped working?I replaced it with binge eating.Because the problem was never the food or the numbers — it was what I was avoiding beneath them.This is exactly what I dive into on this week’s podcast: Why restriction backfires How tracking can turn toxic What actually helps you feel in control againIf you’ve been stuck bouncing between tracking, restricting, and binging,and you want to lose weight and "tone up" in a way that doesn't require MFP — this episode is for you. Comment “podcast” and I’ll send you the direct link.JOIN MY FREE WORKSHOP The Binge Breaker Blueprint HERE (4th of Sep 7PM QLD time/10am LDN time)My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.

    If you’ve been in therapy for months and you're STILL binge eating… this might be why....Because binge eating isn’t just about food.And it’s not a willpower issue.It’s an unmet needs issue.It’s an I-don’t-know-how-to-sit-with-this-emotion issue.It’s a my body doesn’t feel safe issue.The clinical world wants to talk about coping mechanisms, meal plans, and food journaling.And yes, those things can help.But when your nervous system is fried,When your inner child is screaming,When you’ve got no tools to actually feel your feelings in your body—Talking about it once a week with a therapist?That’s not enough.If you feel like you've tried it all to stop binging - this episode is for you!My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwomanJoin The Empowered Woman Program.I’ve put together this program for the woman who wants 1:1 support, but also wants to be a part of a group of women who are going through the same things as yourself - not feeling good enough, feeling stuck in fight/flight and being consumed with thoughts of food.

    Can body building be done in a healthy way? With comp prep Pro Tim McKinnon

    We explore the most common mindset blocks that hold athletes back, from perfectionism to identity struggles, and how discipline can easily tip into obsession or burnout if left unchecked. A major theme throughout the episode is the critical role of self-worth—especially in the vulnerable post-show period when physiques soften, and the stage lights are off.You’ll hear insights on how athletes sometimes tie their entire identity to their bodies, the risks that come with that, and how to rebuild a sense of self beyond aesthetics. We also get into reverse dieting, post-show recovery, and how to protect mental health during these phases.Whether you’re a competitor, coach, or just someone curious about the sport, this episode offers a refreshing perspective rooted in both compassion and realism. We end with game-changing mindset shifts and advice the coach wishes they could tell their younger self—and anyone thinking of stepping on stage. Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts!
