184: From "I just have thick thighs" to losing 20 lbs and becoming naturally thin: Krista's Heart Led Eating transformation
20 oktober 2026 · 41 min
Krista spent years thinking she was basically healed because the big night binges had stopped. She still had food noise, still overate at most meals without fully realizing it, and had mostly accepted that she just carried excess in her legs and assumed that’s just how her body was built. Growing up in a house where someone was always dieting or binging, she used to wish she could be anorexic so she could finally control herself. As a mom of three, the pull to track, volume eat, and “get back on track” after her third baby almost pulled her right back in. In this episode, Krista shares how she became naturally thin, released over 20 pounds without white-knuckling it, and stop treating food and her body like the main project of her life. Lees meer
We discuss:
Growing up in a home where someone was always dieting or bingeing
Restriction, nightly binges, digestion issues, and the long-held belief that she “just had food issues”
Stuck in quasi-recovery for years (not bingeing as badly but still wishing she was thinner)
Learning to read the nuances of her built in calorie calculator
How she lost 20lbs without tracking anything or removing soul foods
Letting go of the all or nothing root cause
Surrendering to the weight her body wants to land at
Raising heart led eating children
Krista’s advice for current student HLE students in the messy middle
How putting food back in order opens new options for life

I discuss...
7 signs you’re eating too much
Body positivity culture normalizing overeating
Hunger being an amplifier of trapped pain
How you should feel when you stop eating
Digestive issues that are related to overeating
The low grade buffer of grazing all day
Why excess storage gets blamed on thyroid, parasites, mold, or hormones instead of too much food

182: She became naturally thin and got off her GLP1: Allison’s Heart Led Eating transformation
6 oktober 2026 · 36 min
Imagine binge eating every single day (while on the maximum dose of a GLP-1) weighing yourself multiple times a day, and living with constant food noise and body shame… then titrating off the medication, ditching the scale, maintaining a 25-pound weight loss, and feeling like a completely different person. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating alum Allison shares how a lifetime of family weight policing, extreme restriction, binge-purge cycles, yo-yo dieting, and a nursing background that pushed her further from her body led her to the moment she decided to draw a line in the sand and become naturally thin instead. Lees meer
We discuss:
Growing up in a household where weight and size are constantly talked about
Years of yo-yo dieting, a binge-eating disorder diagnosis, constant food noise
More than a year on a max-dose GLP-1 that still didn’t work
A pregnancy that brought a 70-pound gain and deep despair
The lightning-bolt moment after her mom’s mastectomy, and signing up for Heart Led Eating that same night
The real root causes Allison discovered underneath her food/body struggles
Titrating off the GLP-1, maintaining the 25-pound loss without it, finally ditching the scale, and clothes from 11 years ago fitting loose again
The ONE KEY thing that made the biggest difference in her Heart Led Eating journey

What “nervous system capacity” really means
Signs your nervous system capacity is small
How eating dulls sensation and traps unfelt emotion in the body as excess storage
Other buffers besides food

180: You’ll never have a bad body image day again after this
22 september 2026 · 26 min
Body positivity culture says you heal body image by loving yourself, detaching from your physical body, and doing more inner work.

I discuss...
Why “just love your body” doesn’t work
The real root causes of body dysmorphia
How excess storage creates body hatred that isn’t a mindset problem
Why wanting to be thin is not disordered
How your nervous system literally changes the way you see your body
What to do when you feel “fat”
How to feel safe in your current body while excess is releasing
Why you don’t have to choose between food freedom and a thin body
My own shift from hating my body to actually feeling at home in it

8 september 2026 · 19 min
There’s one specific nervous system state that makes losing excess weight soooo much easier. Once you can get your nervous system into this state, it actually makes it hard to gain weight haha.

177: Restriction, binge-purge cycles, hospitalization & going in circles to healing once and for all: Georgia’s Heart Led Eating Transformation
1 september 2026 · 31 min
Sometimes you can do all the “right” things (therapy, eating disorder treatment centers, books, intuitive eating, CBT) and still feel stuck going in circles. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating client Georgia shares how she went from teenage restriction that led to a three-month hospitalization, years of binge-purge cycles, over-exercise, temporary “fixes” that always collapsed, gut destruction after a relapse, and a long stretch of feeling like something deeper was missing… to finally uncovering the nervous-system root and eating like a naturally thin woman with no food noise, seamless excess release, and the ability to just live for the first time in 15 years. Lees meer
We discuss:
How a desire to lose a couple of pounds as a teenager snowballed into massive restriction, hospitalization, over-exercising, fasting, and a multi-year binge-purge cycle
The consuming years of volume eating, four-hour workouts, weekend binge-purge, concussion-forced rest, CBT, and intuitive-eating efforts that still felt like constant hard work
A relapse that destroyed her gut for two years, then carnivore, weight loss that triggered monitoring, more weight gain, tanked thyroid, and increasingly extreme diets
The pivotal realization that it wasn’t an incurable eating disorder but an underlying nervous-system issue preventing natural eating
Finding Heart Led Eating (and the Somatics masterclass) after trying cold plunges, breathwork, and other tools that felt like a full-time job
Why the practical, step-by-step, coaching-supported structure of HLE finally worked where years of therapy and self-research hadn’t
The big “ah ha” around intense desire to lose weight as a dysregulation signal
Tangible shifts after four months: 6–7 kg released, clear separation between dysregulation and hunger, ability to simply be with herself without constant coping, massive mental space, and genuine security that the old cycles are gone
