If you've ever felt completely obsessed or out of control around certain foods and wondered “am I just addicted to this? Is this something I'm going to have to manage forever? Is cutting it out the answer?” This episode is for you.
I was listening to a podcast about alcohol addiction this morning and it hit me so hard I scrapped my planned episode to record this instead. Because the parallels between how people describe their relationship with alcohol and how my clients describe their relationship with food are striking. And I think the conclusion a lot of people draw from those parallels - that abstinence is the answer - is one of the most damaging things in this space.
In this episode I discuss...
→The 6 real parallels between a difficult relationship with alcohol and a difficult relationship with food
→Why being high-functioning makes the food problem easier to minimize and harder to address
→What actually happens when you take the food away without fixing what's underneath
→Why abstinence from food is not sobriety - and why it creates the very out-of-control feeling you're trying to fix
→Deprivation neuroscience: why "I can't stop once I start" is usually describing what restriction does to the brain
→What I actually find underneath every "food addiction" story, without exception
