    Why high-achieving women struggle with binge eating

    If you’re a high-achieving woman who feels like every other area of her life is "controlled", but you can't stop binging - this episode is for you.Most people think binging is about a lack of willpower. But it actually goes much deeper. It’s a survival pattern born from a childhood where you felt you had to earn love and suppress your needs.When you grow up feeling like comfort, attention, or safety could be taken away at any moment, your nervous system learns one rule: Get it while you can.Now, as an adult, your body uses food as a way to self-soothe because it doesn't yet know how to feel safe in the quiet. You aren't "broken" - you’re just regulated by a system that’s still in survival mode.It’s time to stop the "start over Monday" madness and start building the emotional safety you were deprived of.Comment PODCAST below and I'll send you this episode My Instagram: elingranstrand & the.empoweredwoman Join The Empowered Woman Program.

    The GLP-1 rebound effect - why you are still binge eating

    In this episode we’re tackling the elephant in the room: The GLP-1 Rebound. 💉 If you’ve used these meds only to find the food noise come back the moment you stopped, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why suppression is NOT the same as healing, and why you can’t out-train (or out-medicate) a dysregulated nervous system. In this episode, you’ll learn: 👉 Why GLP-1s temporarily fixes the symptoms but leave the emotional dysregulation untouched. 👉 The "Identity Void" that leads to the post-medication crash.👉 How to actually fix the root cause so the results finally last. Stop outsourcing your regulation to a peptide. It’s time to build a habit that works for you long term, not just temporarily.

    Why so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attracting narcissistic partners

    Why do so many high-achieving women struggle with binge eating AND attract narcissistic partners? And why does it feel so hard to leave and end this cycle, even when you KNOW the relationship (or food) is hurting you? In this episode, we’re diving deep into:• Trauma bonds• The “I’m not good enough” wound• Why narcissistic relationships feel addictive• How perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel the cycle• And why binge eating often shows up alongside toxic relationships Because this is not just about “choosing the wrong men.” So many women unconsciously recreate relationship dynamics that feel familiar to their nervous system. If you grew up feeling like love had to be earned,If you became the “good girl,” the fixer, the over-achiever,If your self-worth became tied to performance and validation, You are far more likely to tolerate emotionally unavailable, manipulative, or narcissistic partners. Not because you’re weak. Because your nervous system learned that chasing love feels normal. And the same wound that keeps you stuck in toxic relationships - often fuels binge eating too.

    Why You’re Binging After Your Body Building Show (And What To Do About It)

    You didn’t suddenly lose your discipline the day after your show.You didn't become "lazy," and you didn't "break." After months of extreme restriction, rigid structure, and total control, your system is in a state of Biological Debt. Your brain isn't trying to sabotage you; it’s trying to save you. When the food noise hits a fever pitch, When you can’t stop scrolling through food posts, When you swing from "Stage Ready" to "Out of Control" in 48 hours, That is not a failure of character. It is a physiological response.It’s your body trying to restore balance. I t’s your brain chasing the dopamine that disappeared the moment you stepped off stage. And it’s a nervous system that has been in "fight or flight" for so long it has forgotten how to feel safe.In this latest podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on: •The biological "why" behind post-show binges. •The Dopamine Crash: Why food noise feels like a physical scream right now.• The Real Fix: What actually works when "just be more disciplined" fails. Willpower won't fix a dysregulated nervous system. But understanding the mechanics of your own brain will. Ready to silence the noise and take back your power?

    Chloe Millett - Post-Comp Struggles No One Talks About | Food Noise, Binging & “Never Enough”

    In this episode I sit down with FMG Competitor, Strength & Leadership Coach, PT, client and friend - Chloe Millett. Chloe is currently prepping for her next few FMG shows, but in this episode we speak about how much she struggled post comp after her last show - the food noise, the binging, the imposter syndrome and the guilt from never feeling like she did enough. This is a powerful conversation all women will enjoy, not just competitors as we go deep into where these struggles actually came from (hint: NOT her willpower), how she overcame them and what she's done differently this time around to avoid falling into this trap again.
