From Binge Eating to Weight Loss: A Physician's Guide

Think losing weight will fix your binge eating? Think again. In this myth-busting episode, I explain why trying to diet your way out of binge eating actually makes the problem worse, not better.

I break down the binge-restrict cycle that keeps so many physicians trapped, and why traditional weight loss approaches intensify this cycle rather than stopping it. You'll learn why you need to stabilize your eating FIRST (for 3-6 months) before addressing weight, and how restriction comes from your thoughts about food, not the food itself.

Most importantly, I outline a clear path forward that honors both your health goals AND your relationship with food. You'll discover how to make small, consistent changes that don't trigger binges, and why destabilized eating is important information, not failure.

Perfect for any physician who's tired of bouncing between rigid diets and out-of-control binges. There IS a way forward - just not in the order you might think.
