"Why Do I Binge Even Though I Know It's Going To Make Me Feel Awful?"
If you’ve ever found yourself mid-binge thinking, “I know this isn’t going to make me feel better… so why can’t I stop?” , this episode will hit home. And it's not your fault. You’re not broken or lacking willpower. There’s a deeper reason your brain keeps pulling you back to food, even when you “know better.”In this episode, you’ll learn:The real reason you can’t “just stop” binge eating, and why logic alone won’t fix itWhat’s happening in your nervous system and subconscious mind when a binge takes overHow food becomes your emotional safety net (and how to build new ones that don’t involve food)The dopamine reward loop that keeps you stuck in the same pattern , and how to break itWhy the “I’ve already messed up, so screw it” mindset keeps you trapped in the restrict-binge cycleYou’ll walk away understanding that binge eating isn’t a lack of discipline. it’s a nervous-system response rooted in safety, survival, and subconscious conditioning. Once you understand that, you can finally stop fighting yourself and start healing.Key takeaways: Your conscious mind (the part that “knows better”) only makes up 5% of your brain. The other 95%- your subconscious - runs the show.When you binge, your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to protect you from discomfort, anxiety, or emotional pain.Food = safety until you build new ways to regulate your emotions.Dopamine drives repetitive behaviors - even if they cause pain. That’s why “guilt” doesn’t stop the cycle.Healing binge eating starts with compassion, awareness, and nervous-system regulation, not more restriction.✨ Watch my FREE workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

The Truth About GLP-1s & the Missing Piece No One Talks About w/ Eliza Kingsford, LPC
We are finally talking about GLP-1s! GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now… and if you're curious, confused or concerned about them - I don't blame you. And today, we're demystifying it. I'm sitting down with licensed psychotherapist, best-selling author, mind-body practitioner, and trauma-informed weight-management specialist, Eliza Kingsford. We're unpacking the truth about GLP-1s - how they actually work in the body, what the research is showing, and the surprising ways they affect food cravings, appetite, and even our brain’s reward system.This isn’t your typical black-and-white “these drugs are good or bad” kind of talk. Eliza and I go deeper and unpack:What’s really happening in your body when you’re on GLP-1s (hint: it’s not the drug itself causing weight loss). The surprising side effects no one really talks about Why taking the meds without focusing on protein, muscle, and movement can actually backfire. How these drugs intersect with eating disorders, body image, and self-worth. Why a holistic approach is the only way to create freedom that actually lasts.At the end of the day, this episode is about cutting through the noise and giving you the nuance and truth so you can make the best decision for your health, your body, and your peace of mind.Connect with Eliza:Website: elizakingsford.comInstagram: @elizakingsfordFree Guide: The Ultimate Gide To Navigating GLP-1 Medications For Weight Loss✨ Watch my FREE workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
