  9. Body Regulation and Binge Eating 09.09.2026 10min

  A binge can feel terrible and regulating at the same time, and that's not a contradiction. Food offers powerful sensory input- taste, warmth, predictability- and for a while it genuinely lowers emotional intensity. Understanding why makes so much more sense than judging yourself for it. Building on the polyvagal ladder from last week's episode, we trace the entire binge cycle through Deb Dana's nervous system states, from a body already running low on capacity, through the alarm bells of figh...

  Have you ever felt your heart start racing before your mind caught up with what scared you? Your body reacts to danger and safety long before you consciously decide anything, and that quiet, automatic reaction plays a much bigger role in your binge eating pattern than you might think. In this episode, you will learn about your autonomic nervous system and the two branches that run it underneath your awareness all day long. You will hear how Dr. Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory explains your b...

  6. What Role Does Binge Eating Fill? 19.08.2026 7min

  Maybe food has been the thing that never let you down. Maybe it showed up when nothing else did and felt safe to turn to. If binge eating has ever felt less like a problem and more like something you can't imagine your life without, this episode is for you. In this episode, we look at the different roles binge eating can quietly take on in a woman's life: a friend who shows up, a source of predictability, a secret space that's only yours, and a way to numb out and disconnect when everything f...

  3. Why Women Bond Over Diet's | A Path Beyond Binge Eating episode on diet culture, comparison, and connection." 29.07.2026 7min

  Why do so many women feel closest to each other over a shared diet — and so alone the moment they step off the plan? In this episode, Molly unpacks the biological drive women have to bond with one another, how diet culture quietly hijacks that drive into comparison and competition, and — crucially — how the disconnection that follows can become a direct trigger into the restrict-binge cycle. If you've ever felt torn between wanting to heal your relationship with food and wanting to belong, th...
