Brain over Binge Podcast

Explore how to transform your perception of binge urges by viewing them as mere neurological junk. Learn to identify these faulty brain signals and understand their insignificance. The discussion emphasizes reframing these urges to diminish their power, guiding you towards healthier coping mechanisms. By recognizing control over these impulses, you can reshape your relationship with food and behavior, empowering your journey to recovery.

In this episode, you’ll learn that there are two parts of your brain at work in binge eating and recovery.  The lower brain (also called the primitive or animal brain) produces the urges to binge, and the higher brain (also called the rational or human brain) gives you the capacity to stop acting on those urges.  You will learn how it’s possible to use your higher brain to take control back from the lower brain.
