    351. From Bingeing to Food Freedom: Breaking the Cycle w/Amber Abila , The Confident Eater

    Binge eating is part of so many HA stories, even if we don’t always talk about it. In this episode, we’re joined by Amber, Binge Eating & Overeating Coach (aka The Confident Eater), to unpack the restrict–binge cycle and what it actually takes to feel normal around food again. After years of struggling with “all the eating issues”, restriction, overeating, bingeing, food obsession, Amber decided enough was enough. She immersed herself in therapy, coaching, books, and deep self-work until she found true food freedom. Now, she helps women stop binge eating in a way that’s faster, simpler, and more sustainable than white-knuckling willpower ever could be. Inside this episode, we cover: The real root causes of binge eatingWhy restriction and bingeing are more connected than you thinkWhat you’re actually getting from a binge (it’s not just about food)How long it realistically takes to stop binge eatingHow to rewire your brain and break the patternThe role of artificial sweeteners and “natural flavors” in overeatingWhat food freedom actually feels like on the other side Connect with Amber: theconfidenteater.org https://instagram.com/theconfidenteater_ Jool Wellness https://joolwellness.com Join The HA Society http://thehasociety.com/join Work 1:1 with us to get your period back http://thehasociety.com/coaching Visit us on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/danisheriff Follow us on IG http://instagram.com/thehasociety http://instagram.com/danisheriff https://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_ https://www.instagram.com/itsmishigarcia/ https://www.instagram.com/abbylowekey/ The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    350: From Half-Recovery to Full Surrender. Lexi’s Wake-Up Call: Recovery Story

    Lexi’s story is one so many women in HA recovery will recognize. On the outside, she looked healthy, disciplined, and “high functioning.” On the inside, her body was quietly waving red flags. Years of under-fueling, over-exercising, and being praised for it made it hard to see there was a problem at all. In this episode, Lexi shares what it was like to live in half-recovery—doing some of the work, but still negotiating with food, exercise, and control. We talk about how identity and denial can keep you stuck longer than you realize, and the moment she finally understood that real healing required full surrender, not just small adjustments. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “enough” but still not getting your cycle back, this conversation will hit home.

    348: Healing HA When Weight and Worth Are Entangled: Recovery Story w/Maggie

    Maggie’s recovery story will resonate with runners and women who learned to equate control, performance, and worth with staying small. After years of restriction, being told she was “healthy,” and struggling to maintain cycles while trying to conceive, Maggie realized recovery required more than willpower. Through the Restore Program, coaching, and community inside The HA Society, she learned to let go of body control, navigate weight gain, and rebuild trust in her body, even when the process wasn’t linear. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing often begins when we give ourselves permission to honor what our bodies actually need.

    347: Recovery Felt Wrong… Until It Worked: Recovery Story w/Julia

    Julia never felt “skinny enough,” grew up in a health-conscious home, and lost her period after only a few cycles as a teen. Like many women, she tried to DIY her recovery until she realized that HA recovery wasn’t just physical… it was deeply mental. In this episode, Julia shares what it was like to get support via coaching, stop overriding her body, trust extreme hunger and fatigue, and accept that healing isn’t linear. From needing more rest for her second cycle to letting go of being “the boss” of her body, this conversation is an honest look at what happens when recovery feels wrong, but is exactly what your body needs.

    346: Several Moments of Courage & Bravery to Break the Cycle: A Recovery Story w/ Lydia

    In this episode, Lydia shares her recovery story and the moments of courage it took to break long standing patterns around food, exercise, and control. After years of disordered eating, inconsistent cycles, and being told she was pre-menopausal, Lydia struggled to accept that HA could apply to her, especially since she didn’t relate to the “typical” HA story. Skeptical but encouraged by her husband, she joined our Bootcamp and found the clarity and direction she had been missing. That led her into the Restore Program, where she received the structure, support, and education she needed to heal both physically and mentally, regain her cycle, and release the final grips of her eating disorder. This episode is an honest look at what recovery can look like when you stop doing it alone.
