97. How to Make Peace with Food (And Stop Feeling Out of Control)

Ever told yourself, “I’ll just have one treat,” only to spiral into a full-blown binge? You’re not alone. The cycle of restriction, cravings, and overeating isn’t about lack of willpower—it’s rooted in psychology and the way our brains respond to deprivation. 

In this episode, we break down the science behind food cravings, why labeling foods as “bad” can make them even more irresistible, and how dieting often leads to the very behaviors you’re trying to avoid. Plus, I’ll share five practical steps to help you break free from the binge-restrict cycle and finally make peace with food—without guilt, fear, or rules.
