Binge Eating Breakthrough

In this episode I'm exploring a question most of us have never consciously asked ourselves: Who am I practicing becoming? Maybe you're still deep in the binge and restrict cycle, waiting for the day it finally stops. Or maybe you've already made real progress and you're wondering why you still don't feel as free as you thought you would. Either way, I break down why the life you want doesn't start with your circumstances changing, and what it actually means to build it from the inside out, one small practice at a time.
What you'll discover:
Why you're always practicing becoming someone, whether you realize it or not
The difference between internal and external when-then thinking
Why your nervous system fights change even when you want it
What it actually means to build your life from the inside out
If you've ever thought your peace was waiting on the other side of losing weight, changing jobs, or someone else finally changing, this episode is for you.

What does it really take to change your relationship with food? That's the question I'm answering in this episode, in a very specific way.

What You'll Discover:
The real reason awareness has to come before anything else
A tool I use almost daily to reconnect with my body
The one question that replaced years of self-judgment
Three forms of courage that might surprise you

In this episode, I'm talking about something I think a lot of us are quietly doing without realizing it. Maybe you're still in it, reading and listening to everything you can find about binge eating and emotional eating, trying to finally understand it well enough that something changes. Or maybe you've already gone through most of what's out there and you're left wondering why understanding it hasn't actually changed anything. 
Either way, we're diving into the real difference between learning about change and actually doing it, and why staying informed, through books, podcasts, or anything else, can quietly become its own way of staying stuck.
What you'll discover:
Why understanding something doesn't automatically change it
What I call shelf-help, and why it feels so safe
What reading actually gives you, and what it doesn't
What doing the work actually requires
If you've read every book, listened to every podcast, and you're still stuck in the same place with food, this episode is for you.
The Book Experience begins August 18 and enrollment is open now. You can also find my book, The Binge Eating Breakthrough, and the companion workbook at janepilger.com/book.

In this episode, I'm talking about what actually creates peace with food, because it's probably not what you've been told. Maybe you're still in it, trying every rule and every plan to stop binge eating or emotional eating. Or maybe you've already tried most of what's out there, from books to structured programs, and you're left wondering why none of it fully stuck. 
Either way, I'm breaking down the four things that actually get you to trusting yourself around food again, and why more willpower or another set of food rules was never going to be one of them.
What you'll discover:
Why information and support alone weren't enough
The four things that actually create peace with food
Why shame keeps people stuck instead of motivating change
What it actually feels like to trust yourself around food
If you've tried nearly everything to stop binge eating or emotional eating and you're starting to wonder what you're missing, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm continuing last week's conversation about GLP-1 medications, but this time I brought in someone who actually is the expert. Dr. Matthea Rentea, a board certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, joins me to answer the questions I'm not qualified to answer myself. 
Maybe you're on a GLP-1 right now and know there's more to it than what your last appointment covered. Or maybe you're considering one and don't know where to start. Either way, we get into what these medications actually do in the body, who they're really for, and what almost nobody tells you about using them well for the long haul. 
What you'll discover:
Why GLP-1s target a hormonal problem, not a willpower one
The warning signs of losing muscle too fast, and how to prevent it
Why going without the right support can backfire
How to tell if your medical team is helping or hurting you
If you've ever wondered whether you're using a GLP-1 the right way, or whether it's the right choice at all, this conversation is for you.

If this conversation left you with more questions, Dr. Rentea has answers waiting. Her free podcast roadmap lets you search by exactly what you want to know, whether that's a specific medication, protein, fiber, or anything else that came up for you today. You can also learn more at her website.
