What's Eating You Podcast with Clinical Psychologist Stephanie Georgiou

Can feeling guilty about what you eat actually impact your physical body? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience behind food guilt and how it directly affects your nervous system.While some forms of guilt are helpful and adaptive, food guilt is almost always maladaptive. We discuss how the shame associated with eating triggers your body's fight-or-flight response, elevates stress hormones, and ultimately drives the restrict-binge cycle.

Perfectionism is a trait that our society often praises, but when it comes to your relationship with food, it might be the very thing keeping you stuck. In this episode, we dive into the research connecting clinical perfectionism with binge eating and purging behaviors.We discuss how all-or-nothing thinking and rigid food rules create an illusion of control that inevitably leads to distress. More importantly, we explore how perfectionism actively blocks recovery by turning healing into just another strict diet you can "fail" at. Learn how embracing imperfection is the key to progress, along with three actionable tips to challenge the "perfect" standard. @01:59.17 The research linking perfectionistic concerns to disordered eating@05:50.24 Common signs of perfectionism in your daily eating habits (like all-or-nothing thinking)@07:50.44 Why treating recovery like a diet prevents true healing@12:09.13  3 tips to overcome perfectionism and build a flexible relationship with foodI am Steph, a Clinical Psychologist who helps women enjoy food without binge eating or guilt.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace individual medical or psychological advice.

In this episode, Kat shares her powerful transformation through Food Freedom. Before starting the program, Kat was living in constant burnout. She felt exhausted, anxious, overstimulated, and depressed.She reached a point where she couldn’t leave her house for months. Food, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm controlled her daily life, and previous therapy had left her without practical tools or real change.Through Food Freedom, everything shifted. With structured eating, personalised feedback, community support, and weekly group calls, Kat began rebuilding trust in herself. She learned how to sit with emotions instead of self-sabotaging, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and create new habits grounded in self-compassion.Food Freedom didn’t just help Kat heal her relationship with food, it helped her reconnect with her mind, body, and sense of safety.This episode highlights how true change comes from support, structure, and learning to work with your thoughts rather than fighting yourself.If you are ready to change your relationship with food, book a 1:1 eating evaluation call.https://stan.store/mindfoodsteph/mindfoodsteph_funnel_52681Disclaimer: all episodes are educational and not a substitute for therapy or medical advice.

Breakups are one of the most psychologically stressful life events we can experience.Neuroimaging studies show that when we go through heartbreak, the same pain centers in the brain that respond to physical pain are activated, particularly the anterior cingulate cortex.That’s why it doesn’t just feel emotional, it literally hurts.Now, for someone with Borderline Personality Disorder that pain can feel magnified.BPD is characterized by emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, and a fragile sense of self. When someone with BPD goes through a breakup, it’s not just the loss of a partner, it can feel like the loss of identity, safety, and purpose.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?

In fact, research shows that depending on the sport and level of competition, anywhere from 0 to 19% of male athletes, and 6 to 45% of female athletes, may experience disordered eating or an eating disorder. These numbers are not small—and they remind us that behind the strength, discipline, and performance we admire, many athletes are silently struggling.Source: Eating Disorders Org.
