2026/11/03
Olivia thought she was just “a wellness girly.” But from middle-school crash diets to macros, keto, protein targets, and the infamous bean protocol, food had become something she was constantly trying to control. In this episode, she shares what happened when motherhood, a move to Japan, and an unexpected trip back to the US intensified the food noise…and how she eventually found Heart Led Eating and became naturally thin instead.
We discuss...
Olivia’s early restrict-and-overeat cycleWellness rabbit holes that promised a fixWhy rigid food rules felt comforting, even when they took over her lifeThe whip cream moment she realized she couldn’t keep living this wayHer “messy middle” in Heart Led Eating…and why she nearly gave up around week eightHow community and nervous system tools helped her respond differently when things felt hardWhat it’s like to eat a burger, keep sourdough in the kitchen, and move on with her dayHer advice for anyone who knows what to do but feels stuck trying to do it

184: From "I just have thick thighs" to losing 20 lbs and becoming naturally thin: Krista's Heart Led Eating transformation
2026/10/20
Krista spent years thinking she was basically healed because the big night binges had stopped. She still had food noise, still overate at most meals without fully realizing it, and had mostly accepted that she just carried excess in her legs and assumed that’s just how her body was built. Growing up in a house where someone was always dieting or binging, she used to wish she could be anorexic so she could finally control herself. As a mom of three, the pull to track, volume eat, and “get back on track” after her third baby almost pulled her right back in. In this episode, Krista shares how she became naturally thin, released over 20 pounds without white-knuckling it, and stop treating food and her body like the main project of her life.
We discuss:
Growing up in a home where someone was always dieting or bingeingRestriction, nightly binges, digestion issues, and the long-held belief that she “just had food issues” Stuck in quasi-recovery for years (not bingeing as badly but still wishing she was thinner)Learning to read the nuances of her built in calorie calculator How she lost 20lbs without tracking anything or removing soul foodsLetting go of the all or nothing root cause Surrendering to the weight her body wants to land atRaising heart led eating children Krista’s advice for current student HLE students in the messy middle How putting food back in order opens new options for life

183: Hyperspecific signs you’re eating WAYYYY too much
2026/10/13
Most people think eating too much only looks like binges, but a lot of overeating is quieter than that. In this episode I’m walking through the hyper-specific signs your body is getting wayyyyy more food than it needs. These signs are part of how you read your built in calorie calculator!
I discuss...
7 signs you’re eating too muchBody positivity culture normalizing overeating Hunger being an amplifier of trapped pain How you should feel when you stop eatingDigestive issues that are related to overeating The low grade buffer of grazing all day Why excess storage gets blamed on thyroid, parasites, mold, or hormones instead of too much food

182: She became naturally thin and got off her GLP1: Allison’s Heart Led Eating transformation
2026/10/06
Imagine binge eating every single day (while on the maximum dose of a GLP-1) weighing yourself multiple times a day, and living with constant food noise and body shame… then titrating off the medication, ditching the scale, maintaining a 25-pound weight loss, and feeling like a completely different person. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating alum Allison shares how a lifetime of family weight policing, extreme restriction, binge-purge cycles, yo-yo dieting, and a nursing background that pushed her further from her body led her to the moment she decided to draw a line in the sand and become naturally thin instead.
We discuss:
Growing up in a household where weight and size are constantly talked about Years of yo-yo dieting, a binge-eating disorder diagnosis, constant food noiseMore than a year on a max-dose GLP-1 that still didn’t workA pregnancy that brought a 70-pound gain and deep despairThe lightning-bolt moment after her mom’s mastectomy, and signing up for Heart Led Eating that same nightThe real root causes Allison discovered underneath her food/body struggles Titrating off the GLP-1, maintaining the 25-pound loss without it, finally ditching the scale, and clothes from 11 years ago fitting loose againThe ONE KEY thing that made the biggest difference in her Heart Led Eating journey

181: How to grow your nervous system capacity (so you don't need food as a buffer)
2026/09/29
If you keep getting urges to eat when you’re not hungry or past fullness, it’s not a willpower problem. It’s a capacity problem. In this episode I’m breaking down what nervous system capacity actually is, how a small capacity turns into overeating, and how to grow it so you don’t need food to feel safe.
I discuss...
What “nervous system capacity” really means Signs your nervous system capacity is smallHow eating dulls sensation and traps unfelt emotion in the body as excess storageOther buffers besides foodCommon myths about how to grow your nervous system capacityDo all naturally thin people have big nervous system capacities?How to clear out trapped pain from your bodyHow to actually grow your nervous system capacity

180: You’ll never have a bad body image day again after this
2026/09/22
Body positivity culture says you heal body image by loving yourself, detaching from your physical body, and doing more inner work. That’s not what actually ended my bad body image days/body dysmorphia…and it’s not what I see work for my clients. In this episode I’m breaking down the 2 real reasons you don’t like how you look, and how to never have a bad body image day again.
I discuss...
Why “just love your body” doesn’t work The real root causes of body dysmorphia How excess storage creates body hatred that isn’t a mindset problemWhy wanting to be thin is not disorderedHow your nervous system literally changes the way you see your bodyWhat to do when you feel “fat”How to feel safe in your current body while excess is releasingWhy you don’t have to choose between food freedom and a thin bodyMy own shift from hating my body to actually feeling at home in it

178: Your excess weight will MELT OFF once you're in this nervous system state
2026/09/08
There’s one specific nervous system state that makes losing excess weight soooo much easier. Once you can get your nervous system into this state, it actually makes it hard to gain weight haha. In this episode I’m sharing what it is, why it changes everything about food and appetite, and how to access it even when life feels chaotic.
I discuss...
Why trying to lose weight from a place of hating your body keeps you stuck in the yo-yo cycleWhat this magical nervous system state actually feels likeHow being in this state makes it easy to hear your built-in calorie calculator and removes the need to overeatWhy a sense of safety and abundance naturally lowers appetite and eliminates binge urgesThe real meaning of “growing nervous system capacity”How to feel safe in your current body (even with excess storage) so you stop sabotaging with extremesThe myth of “maintenance mode”

177: Restriction, binge-purge cycles, hospitalization & going in circles to healing once and for all: Georgia’s Heart Led Eating Transformation
2026/09/01
Sometimes you can do all the “right” things (therapy, eating disorder treatment centers, books, intuitive eating, CBT) and still feel stuck going in circles. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating client Georgia shares how she went from teenage restriction that led to a three-month hospitalization, years of binge-purge cycles, over-exercise, temporary “fixes” that always collapsed, gut destruction after a relapse, and a long stretch of feeling like something deeper was missing… to finally uncovering the nervous-system root and eating like a naturally thin woman with no food noise, seamless excess release, and the ability to just live for the first time in 15 years.
We discuss:
How a desire to lose a couple of pounds as a teenager snowballed into massive restriction, hospitalization, over-exercising, fasting, and a multi-year binge-purge cycleThe consuming years of volume eating, four-hour workouts, weekend binge-purge, concussion-forced rest, CBT, and intuitive-eating efforts that still felt like constant hard workA relapse that destroyed her gut for two years, then carnivore, weight loss that triggered monitoring, more weight gain, tanked thyroid, and increasingly extreme dietsThe pivotal realization that it wasn’t an incurable eating disorder but an underlying nervous-system issue preventing natural eatingFinding Heart Led Eating (and the Somatics masterclass) after trying cold plunges, breathwork, and other tools that felt like a full-time jobWhy the practical, step-by-step, coaching-supported structure of HLE finally worked where years of therapy and self-research hadn’tThe big “ah ha” around intense desire to lose weight as a dysregulation signalTangible shifts after four months: 6–7 kg released, clear separation between dysregulation and hunger, ability to simply be with herself without constant coping, massive mental space, and genuine security that the old cycles are gone

176: Gut issues: an unpopular way to heal that actually works
2026/08/25
I spent years with debilitating gut issues (constipation, bloating, gas, food intolerances etc) and nothing worked (yes, I tried traditional medicine as well as every “holistic” rabbit hole I could go down). In this episode I’m sharing the 2 root causes of chronic gut issues that almost no one talks about, and the unpopular approach that actually resolved mine (and so many of my clients’).
I discuss...
My personal history of gut issues and everything I tried that didn’t workWhy disordered eating and gut issues are so tightly linked How refining your built-in calorie calculator can eliminate a huge amount of gut symptomsWhy chronic nervous system dysregulation shuts down “rest and digest”The connection between constipation, diarrhea, and the body being in survival modeHow trapped pain and emotions cause food to “land” poorly in the bodyHow to reverse food sensitivities and intolerances The simple (but not easy) way to heal

175: How to get thin WITHOUT obsessive exercise or perfect eating: Kelly’s Heart Led Eating transformation
2026/08/18
Imagine living in the same “thin” body you’ve worked so hard for…but without the 20,000-step days, the Apple Watch obsession, the volume-eating salads, or the constant mental math. Imagine dropping every rule, eating peanut butter sandwiches when you feel like it, moving only when it feels good, and still fitting into all the same clothes a year later while having so much more time and energy for your family. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating student Kelly shares exactly how she went from forcefully thin to naturally thin.
We discuss...
Growing up in a big Italian family where food = love and celebration, and how being overweight became part of her identityUsing exercise to lose weight and stay thinAll-consuming activity tracking (Apple Watch, 20k+ steps + workouts, never taking real breaks)Volume eating with lots of vegetables to stay thinThe weekend/vacation overeating cycle that always restarted on MondayThe flu and week in bed that changed her lifeLearning to trust her own body, drop the rules, and stop people-pleasing/food-fawning around othersMoving through the “messy middle” with soul foodsHow Kelly eats and moves now to stay thin with ease

I discuss...
How peptides make you forcefully thin (and why that is not the same as being naturally thin)Why naturally thin people already get the “ick” from overeating without any interventions The real reason most people carry excess storage Why removing the food buffer without growing nervous system capacity can be dangerous The consequences of peptides that a lot of people are ignoring “ozemepic personality” Can you do Heart Led Eating while taking peptides?The exact steps to lose weight and become naturally thin without GLPs
