    100. Sorry, You Can’t Trust Your Hunger in ED Recovery

    If you’ve been told to “just eat when you’re hungry” in recovery and it’s not working — this episode is for you. In early eating disorder recovery, your hunger cues are often unreliable. After months or years of restriction, your body adapts by turning down hunger signals or sending them in chaotic waves. That doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means your system needs rebuilding. In this episode, we talk about: Why intuitive eating isn’t the starting point in recovery How restriction disrupts hunger cues The stages of recovery no one explains Why mechanical eating is often necessary When (and how) to actually begin trusting your body again Resources: > mechanical eating blog > intuitive eating 101 blog + podcast episode

    99. Is Food the Only Thing You Look Forward To All Day!? 🫥

    What are you looking forward to today? If the answer is your evening snack, we need to talk. In this episode, I break down why making food your only source of joy keeps you stuck in binge-restrict cycles, the anticipation-disappointment trap that leads to binges, and what's actually missing when food feels like the only good thing in your day. This isn't about stopping the enjoyment of food—it's about building a life where food doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting.
