How do food plans, diets, lifestyle changes and boundaries interface with the deep emotional and psychological work of healing food addiction? Is healing from food addiction and "inside Job" or an "outside job"?
Our relationships with our mothers and/or primary caregivers are inseparable from our relationship with food. If we use food as a path - as a way to constantly mature ourselves in our wholeness and health and in living our full vibrancy - then we are likely at one point or another to face head-on this question of our maternal relationship. What did our mothers teach us about food, about nourishing and nurturing ourselves? About hunger? About loving ourselves? And, an equally important question: what are we teaching and not teaching our daughters, nieces, and other young women of today? Kathe Izzo and Katya Slivinskaya dive in on these questions and a unifying approach to healing.
One of the biggest healing powers we have inside of us is our capacity for mindfulness. This is something innate to all human beings - it is our birthright and something we can choose at any moment. Mind-body medicine now fully supports that how - and what - we think directly and immediately affects the chemistry of our bodies. So how can we harness this incredible potential for awareness to heal addictions and other habitual patterns that we know just aren't good for us? In this episode, Felix Lopez gives us a fun, exploratory look at how we can change our habits organically, so that us and our "bad habits" become like oil and water - we just don't mix!
For people suffering with binge eating disorder and stubborn excess weight, there is finally a long-term solution. One based on sound science and an honest look at our food industry, Bright Line Eating is not a diet - it is a way of life that allows the brain to stop making its 220+ daily decisions about food - decisions which put pressure on our willpower to constantly make healthy choices - and instead relies on habit-forming and automaticity. The truth is, most of us are depleting our willpower in so many other ways, we don't have that much left over to govern our food choices - and that's how, despite our best intentions, we find ourselves breaking our new year's resolutions to lose weight and eat better, usually just weeks after we've made them. Bright Line Eating is a system that trains your brain to relate to food from the habit-forming center, rather than the decision-making center, making life - and achieving your goals - a whole lot easier than you ever thought possible.

How can we work with this inner saboteur, instead of running away from it, denying its existence, or trying to push it down or wipe it out? In this podcast, Katya Slivinskaya talks about the nature of the inner saboteur, why we don't need to be afraid of it, and what to do instead. In this podcast you will learn:
Quotes from the Podcast: "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." "A man who is unconscious of himself acts in a blind, instinctive way and is in addition fooled by all the illusions that arise when he sees everything that he is not conscious of in himself coming to meet him from outside as projections upon his neighbor." ~ Both quotes from Carl Jung

April and I chat it up. Could the path to healing from binge eating be all about eating what you want when you want it? Is that too good to be true? Or can trusting your hunger be the way to a stronger, healthier, happier relationship with your body and with food?
Learn why binge eating is not really an eating disorder, in my book.
What I find most exciting about healing binge eating is that, while doing it, we inevitably begin to also heal our issues with love, career, money, our ability to prove ourselves to ourselves and have what we want.
