If vacation eating sends you into a spiral—whether that's restriction, chaos, or just constant dread—this episode is for you. We're talking about why travel feels so destabilizing for recovery, what actually helps (hint: it's not replicating your exact home routine), and how to navigate the real, messy situations that come up: group dinners, comments about your eating, unfamiliar food environments, and the fear that one week away will undo everything you've worked for.

Now, in part two, we're discussing what happens when you start rebuilding that trust. This episode explores the process of deconstructing diet culture's grip on your mind, relearning how to listen to your body's signals, and what food freedom actually looks like (spoiler: it's messy, it's gradual, and it requires unlearning almost everything you've been taught).

And no, it's not a lack of willpower or discipline. In this episode, we break down what food noise actually is, why it gets louder the more you try to control it, and the real reason GLP-1 medications like Ozempic seem to "fix" it (spoiler: they're not fixing anything—they're just numbing the signal). We'll explore how food noise is actually your body screaming for trust, not control, and why the solution isn't another diet o...
