Long before I launched this podcast, I knew I wanted to bring the topic Disordered Eating to my platform.
Kathryn Hansen is my guest today and she is the author of ‘Brain Over Binge’ a book that completely transformed my mindset around food. Kathryn suffered from an Eating Disorder and was able to free herself from this disease by creating her own unique approach. I can promise you that hers is radically different than anything you’ve ever heard before and I can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say.
In this episode we chat about her story and how she started out innocently trying to control her weight in high school, a time when we all feel self-conscious about our bodies. Over time, simple diets gave way to restricted eating which became a habit and eventually an uncontrollable desire to binge.
When therapy failed to help her with her binge eating she decided to start digging into the neuroscience behind how the brain works and what she could do to harness that power of her brain to essentially rewire those habits and control the urges.
Through years of research and trial + error she finally found lasting succcess and was able to beat the binge and decided to write a book to help others who were struggling.
I discovered her book nearly a decade ago when I was also struggling with an ED and it totally shifted my mindset and changed my life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with an ED please listen to this episode and visit her website to purchase her book or download her FREE audiobook.
