Are you struggling with nighttime snacking that just won’t seem to go away, no matter how much discipline you use?

In this episode, I share why this pattern isn’t a discipline problem at all—it’s actually a nervous system issue.

Are you really a binge eater—even if you don’t think you are?

Most people say “No, that’s not me” when I ask this question. But what if binge eating isn’t just what we’ve been taught to believe in school or the media? In this episode, I unpack what binge eating really means, the subtle forms it takes, and why so many of us resist identifying with it—even when it’s happening in our daily lives.

I’ll share how binge eating shows up as emotional eating, nighttime snacking, or even that “cheat meal” that turns into a cheat weekend. Most importantly, I’ll explain how these behaviors are rooted in the nervous system—and why no amount of dieting or willpower can fix them until we first reset our system from protection mode into safety mode.

Listen to the full episode to discover how to turn off the binge mechanism and finally make peace with food.

Topics Covered:

• Why most people resist the label “binge eater

• Redefining binge eating beyond the traditional definition

• The link between binge eating, emotional eating, and nighttime snacking

• How perfectionism, dieting, and restriction fuel binge behaviors

• Why binge eating is really a nervous system issue, not a food issue

• The first step to food freedom (hint: it’s not dieting or more discipline)
