Why Letting Go of All Food Rules Isn't Working Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Have you thrown out all your food rules only to find yourself still binging and obsessing over food?

In this episode, I reveal why simply "eating intuitively" or "eating whatever you want" may not be working for you - and what's actually missing from your approach. I share why your brain might panic when you suddenly abandon all structure around food, how this triggers the very behaviors you're trying to overcome, and a more effective approach that creates true freedom without the all-or-nothing cycle.

If you're caught between rigid food rules and feeling completely out of control, this episode offers the understanding and practical guidance you've been searching for.
