Episode 565: Emotional Eating Isn't About Food with Sarah Spears

Emotional eating, binge eating, and bulimia are rarely about food alone. In this re released episode, therapist Sarah Spears explains why restriction, trauma, and unprocessed emotions drive disordered eating, and how healing requires addressing the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and soul layers of health. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of overeating, self blame, or "doing everything right" with food but still struggling. Healing doesn't start with more rules, it starts from within.

Episode 564: GLP-1s: Tools, Tradeoffs, and Long-Term Thinking

GLP 1 medications are everywhere, and most conversations swing between hype and shame. This episode slows it all down.

We cover what GLP 1 actually is (a natural satiety and blood sugar hormone), how GLP 1 medications work in the gut and brain, what the research shows so far, and what it still does not answer. We talk about why these meds can feel life changing for food noise and cravings, plus the tradeoffs that often get minimized, like nausea, constipation, fatigue, under eating, and muscle loss.

This is not a pro or anti episode. It is a physiology first conversation to help you ask better questions and make thoughtful decisions, whether you are curious, considering it, or already using one.

Episode 563: What 19 Years of Healthy Habits Taught Me

This episode is a candid look at what nearly two decades of healing actually looks like.

I share the full evolution of my relationship with food, movement, tracking, and health, from addiction, eating disorders, and chaos to stability, nourishment, and trust in my body. We talk about why health changes slowly, why different seasons require different strategies, and how restriction, optimization, and long term stability each have their place.

If you feel frustrated that you "know what to do" but still struggle to implement it, or if your health feels like it has moved through many phases over the years, this episode will help you understand why that's normal, and how to meet your body where it is now instead of forcing it into a past version of health.

Episode 561: Histamines: Your Liver & Gut - Part 1

In this episode, we break down what histamine actually does in the body, why symptoms look so different from person to person, and how histamine intolerance differs from mast cell activation syndrome. You will learn how gut health, liver clearance, DAO activity, estrogen shifts, and immune activation all contribute to histamine overload, and why food is only one piece of the picture. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding histamine at the root cause level instead of chasing symptoms.
