If "Brain Over Binge" Didn't Work For You, Here's Why (Dietitian Reacts | Book Review)

You read Brain Over Binge. You tried to “just stop binging.” You waited for your “animal brain” to quiet down… but somehow you still ended up knee-deep in granola at 11 p.m.

You’re not broken. The book just left out a few key chapters. 🤣

In this episode, I'll review Brain Over Binge through the lens of an evidence-based dietitian who works with women struggling with binge eating. I'm breaking down what’s actually helpful, what’s missing, and why you can’t "animal brain" your way out of every binge urge.

If you’ve ever felt like you “failed” the book everyone swears by, this episode will help make sense of why + give you a better roadmap forward.
