Binge Eating Breakthrough

Is there really a connection between ADHD and binge eating? Research shows ADHD and binge eating show up together far more than chance would explain, and once you see what's actually driving that overlap, some of your own patterns might finally make sense.
In this episode, I'm looking at what the research actually tells us about ADHD and binge eating and, more importantly, how this information might help you better understand your own eating patterns.
What You'll Discover:
The real research connection between ADHD and binge eating
What ADHD explains and what it doesn't
How attention and hunger and fullness cues might be connected
The question worth asking instead of "is ADHD why I binge?"
If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or simply recognize yourself in some of these patterns, this episode is for you.

In this 200th episode of the Binge Eating Breakthrough Podcast, I'm sharing the 20 things I most want you to understand about binge eating and what it really takes to change your relationship with food.
Maybe you're still caught in the binge eating cycle and wondering why nothing you've tried has created lasting change. Or maybe you've already made significant progress but still find yourself struggling with urges, food rules, or trusting yourself around food.
Either way, this isn't a list of 20 tips or another plan to follow. It's 20 ways of understanding binge eating, restriction, urges, nervous system regulation, self-trust, food freedom, connection, and progress that may change the way you understand your relationship with food and yourself.
What You'll Discover:
Why binge eating is a symptom and what your behavior may be trying to tell you
How you can be eating enough food and still experience restriction
Why an urge to binge and a binge are two different things
Why knowing what to do isn't the same as having the capacity to do it
Why connection may be one of the most important pieces of ending binge eating
If you've ever felt like you've tried everything to stop binge eating and can't understand why you still struggle, this episode offers a different place to start: not with another set of rules, but with a better understanding of what's happening and why.

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.

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.
