  • 5 Signs You Might Have Binge-Eating Disorder
    Dec 4 2025

    Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, yet it’s often misunderstood. It’s not just about eating large amounts of food—it can also be about the loss of control, secrecy, and emotional aftermath that come with it.

    In today’s video, I’ll walk you through 5 signs of BED so you can better understand whether what you’re going through fits the pattern—and what steps you might consider next.

    What You’ll Learn in This Video:


    • The difference between overeating and binge eating disorder

    • Why eating when not hungry can be driven by emotions, not physical need

    • How urgency and speed around food can be a red flag

    • Why secrecy and eating alone often point to shame, not just habit

    • The emotional aftermath of binges—guilt, distress, and hopelessness—and how this fuels the cycle


    If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of eating, regret, and shame, this video is for you. The good news is that binge eating disorder is treatable—and recovery is possible.

  • Food Addiction Recovery: Why Abstinence (Not Moderation) Changed Everything For Her | Heide Corse
    Nov 20 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with Heide Corse—registered dietitian and food addict in recovery—to explore what it truly means to find peace and freedom from food obsession after decades of struggle.

    Here’s what we cover in the episode:


    • Heide’s realization that she was living with true food addiction—and why moderation never worked for her

    • The turning point that led to her final “day one” after a lifetime of failed diets and self-blame

    • How she embraced abstinence from sugar, flour, grains, and alcohol—and stayed food sober for four years without a single slip

    • Why abstinence, not moderation, is often the only path to lasting recovery for food addicts

    • How the carnivore diet became her foundation for simplicity, stability, and peace of mind

    • Practical strategies for maintaining recovery while traveling, socializing, or dining out

    • The mindset shift behind “not engaging” with cravings or intrusive food thoughts

    • What peace and freedom around food actually feel like—and how they’ve transformed her life


    Heide’s story is both powerful and practical—a testament to how deep self-awareness, structure, and courage can lead to true recovery.

    This conversation is essential listening for anyone who’s tried every diet, struggled with binge eating, or wants to understand how to finally feel at peace with food.
