    Why You Eat at Night When You’re Not Hungry: Breaking the Binge Eating Cycle from the Inside Out with Nadège Saysana.

    In this episode, we sit down with Nan (Nadège Saysana), the One Bite, Done coach, who helps women break free from nighttime binge eating and finally rebuild trust with food.

Today, she teaches a simple and compassionate approach that helps women stop the cycle of overeating at night without restriction, guilt, or endless dieting. We explore why cravings show up after dinner, what they are really communicating, and how women who are disciplined in the gym can feel calm, in control, and free around food.
