Ep. 248: Binge Eating Isn’t Really About the Food with Nutritionist and Therapist Ryann Prentice

If you’ve ever felt “out of control” around food—whether it’s binge eating and/ or constantly feeling guilty when you eat—this episode will help you release any residual shame you might be carrying. Mary sits down with therapist + nutritionist Ryann Nicole to unpack why binge eating recovery is less about food and more about how we relate to it.

You will learn... 

- a mantra for releasing food guilt

- why binge eating is not really about the food itself

- an anti-diet approach to handling fear foods

- how to recover from disordered eating if you’re living with someone else and their foods can potentially trigger you

You’ll also walk away with hope and encouragement for wherever you are in your binge eating recovery and healing journey.
