EP #40: Special series—12 keys to end binge eating, Key #5: Understand your brain

When you understand what’s happening in your brain when you binge, so much of the struggle begins to make sense. Part of you wants to stop bingeing so badly and part of you wants to keep bingeing just as badly. So you have that tell-tale dissonance between how you want to eat and how you actually do eat. It’s like there’s two of you playing tug-of-war. And that is fantastic news. Why? Because the two of you playing tug-of-war reflect two parts of your brain also playing tug-of-war—and those two parts of your brain are functioning exactly as they were designed to function. The problem is that they’re currently cross-wired to work against each other instead of with each other. And that, we can fix! Listen in to Part 6 of 12 Keys to End Binge Eating. This episode focuses on the fifth key: Understand Your Brain. Oh! And for a limited time, I’m teaching a free masterclass to dig deeper into the essential steps to ending binge eating and to get live coaching from me.
