Originally developed for addictive behaviors, this evidence-based approach offers powerful tools for preventing relapse — not through force or suppression, but through awareness and intentional responding.

One of the biggest tensions in recovery is the question of acceptance vs. action.

If you use sensory strategies like breathwork, grounding, movement, or temperature shifts to regulate your nervous system, are you avoiding the craving — or practicing skillful recovery?

This video explores that question in depth.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• What Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention is and how it supports long-term recovery

• How mindfulness interrupts automatic, reactive binge patterns

• The difference between reacting to a craving and responding with awareness

• The role of sensory regulation in managing urges

• Why intention matters more than rigid “rules” about doing recovery the right way

• How acceptance and action can work together in a flexible, sustainable process If you’ve ever felt confused about how to handle cravings — or wondered whether you’re “failing” when you use coping tools — this conversation will help you approach urges with more clarity and self-trust. Recovery is not about perfection.

It’s about awareness, flexibility, and learning how to meet cravings with both presence and skill.

In today’s video, we explore the nervous system science behind persistent chewing and why it may have far less to do with willpower than you think. Drawing from neuroanatomy and the science of sensory regulation, I explain how your jaw muscles send powerful calming signals directly to your brainstem and why your body may rely on chewing as a way to self-soothe.

Understanding this can reduce shame and open the door to new, supportive strategies that don’t revolve around more food.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• Why it can feel physically hard to stop chewing

• The role of the jaw muscles (masseter) in nervous system regulation

• How chewing provides direct proprioceptive input to the brainstem

• Why this behavior may be about regulation, not hunger

• Alternative ways to give your body calming sensory input If you’ve ever struggled with chewing, crunching, or snacking past fullness and wondered “Why can’t I stop?”

This video offers a compassionate, science-based explanation.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s communicating.

0:00 – Intro

0:24 – Why is it so hard to stop chewing?

0:31 – It’s not willpower: the nervous system explanation

0:37 – Jaw muscles (masseter) as powerful proprioceptors

0:45 – Direct signals to the brainstem (no spinal cord detour)

0:53 – How chewing regulates breathing, tone, and calm

1:00 – Maybe it’s not about food

1:06 – The role of proprioception in chewing

1:11 – “I’m trying to calm down”: what your body may be saying

1:14 – Finding alternative ways to regulate

1:20 – Examples: squeezing, wall push-ups, gym

1:29 – Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating

1:36 – Viewer question: What can you do instead of chewing?

Have you ever set strong intentions to avoid a binge, only to later feel like your awareness disappeared or you went on autopilot? In today’s video, we explore dissociation and its connection to binge eating.

Dissociation can feel like being in a fog, feeling disconnected from your body, or losing awareness during urges or binge episodes. Understanding this experience can help explain why recovery can sometimes feel confusing and why willpower alone often isn’t enough.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• What dissociation can feel like and how it shows up during binge eating

• The research linking dissociation and eating disorders

• Why awareness and intentions can suddenly disappear during urges

• Why studying dissociation is challenging and still evolving in research

• Emerging insights on grounding strategies that may help reconnect awareness If you’ve ever felt confused about why binge episodes can feel automatic or out of your control, this video is for you.

Understanding dissociation can help reduce shame and support a more informed, compassionate recovery journey. Please like, subscribe, and share this video with anyone who might benefit from it.

In today’s video, we explore the neuroscience behind something called the incubation of cravings, a phenomenon that explains why trigger-driven urges can intensify over time, even while overall progress is happening. Understanding this can help remove shame, reduce discouragement, and support a more realistic and sustainable recovery journey.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• The difference between baseline cravings and cue-induced cravings

• Why cravings may peak weeks or months into recovery

• How environmental, emotional, and unconscious triggers influence urges

• Why stronger cravings are NOT a sign that recovery is failing

• Research-backed insights on long-term recovery and relapse prevention

If you’ve ever felt discouraged because cravings returned later in your recovery, this video is for you. Recovery is not linear, and understanding how cravings evolve over time can help you approach healing with more compassion and clarity.

Dr. Buchanan is at the forefront of a growing movement in medicine—one that prioritizes metabolic health, prevention, and lifestyle as the foundation for healing.

Through her telemedicine practice TOWARD Health, she’s helping patients reverse chronic disease, reduce food addiction symptoms, and rebuild a healthy relationship with food.

Her team’s recent 2025 study found that 61% of participants improved binge eating symptoms and 46% reduced food addiction symptoms—results that show how targeted nutrition, coaching, and real-time biofeedback can transform health from the inside out.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

• How Dr. Buchanan’s frustration with traditional medical training led her to focus on metabolic and lifestyle medicine

• The 6 components of the TOWARD Health model—and why it’s changing how doctors treat food addiction and obesity

• Why traditional “eat less, move more” advice doesn’t work for most people

• The power of low-carb, whole-food nutrition in restoring metabolic balance and curbing cravings

• The role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in understanding your body’s real-time response to food

• The difference between harm reduction vs. abstinence in food addiction recovery—and how to know which approach fits you best

• The emerging field of metabolic psychiatry, and how nutrition may soon become a key treatment for anxiety, depression, and binge eating

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t “just stop eating” certain foods or why cravings return even after diets, this episode will help you understand the metabolic roots of food addiction—and show you a science-backed path to lasting recovery.

Disclaimer: The information on this channel is for educational purposes and is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice or therapy.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

In this video, I break down the hidden emotional drivers and automatic habits that trigger binge eating, even when your stomach is full. Understanding these triggers is the first crucial step to breaking the cycle and building a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

The Brain Chemistry of Comfort Food: How sugary, fatty foods temporarily lower stress and boost dopamine, making them a powerful (but short-lived) fix for overwhelming emotions.

Numbing vs. Nourishing: Why binge eating is often a coping mechanism to avoid feeling difficult emotions like loneliness, sadness, or shame.

Breaking Habit Loops: How your brain wires certain situations (like watching TV or feeling bored) to automatically trigger cravings, regardless of actual hunger.

This isn't about being weak or broken—it's about your brain trying to cope. Once you understand what's really going on, you can start to reclaim control.

In today’s video, I’ll break down the 3 main reasons binge eating is harder to control at night and share what you can start doing differently to break the cycle.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

• Why decision fatigue and willpower depletion make evenings a “danger zone” for binge eating

• How restricting food during the day can backfire at night

• The role of emotional stress and environmental cues in evening binges

• Why practicing recovery roles (like abstinence, nourishment, or self-compassion) in the body is often more effective than simply talking about them

• How therapists can warm up clients to experiential work without pushing them out of their comfort zone

• Simple psychodramatic tools anyone can try—even on their own—to access insight, strength, and clarity

Karen’s approach is creative, compassionate, and deeply rooted in both clinical wisdom and real-world healing. Whether you’re a clinician, a person in recovery, or simply curious about how deeper change happens—this conversation is a must-listen.

What if binge eating, food addiction, or even anorexia aren’t just psychological issues... but rooted in blood sugar instability, neuroinflammation, and metabolic dysfunction?

This isn’t theory—it’s emerging science that’s already transforming lives.

What You’ll Learn in this video:

• Metabolic Psychiatry 101 – Why conditions like binge eating disorder and anorexia may stem from disrupted insulin, glucose, and neurochemistry—not just trauma or emotion.

• The Ultra-Processed Food Trap – How modern foods activate the same reward pathways as addictive drugs—and how that rewires hunger, mood, and behavior.

• An Impressive Ketogenic Case Study – Why a 2023 study found long-term remission in severe anorexia using a high-fat, low-carb animal-based diet—and what that could mean for future treatment.

• Biochemical Repair or Willpower – Why recovery might depend less on psychology and more on nourishing the brain with the right fuel.

If “all foods fit” left you stuck or made things worse, this video offers a bold, science-backed alternative. This is not about restriction—it’s about restoring balance from the inside out.

For many, this approach backfires, leaving them trapped in cycles of cravings, blood sugar swings, and loss of control.

What You’ll Learn:

The Science of Reward Dysregulation: How sugar, refined flour, and even "healthy" sweeteners (like stevia or monk fruit) hijack brain chemistry, mimicking addiction pathways.

Metabolic Psychiatry’s Perspective: The role of insulin resistance, dopamine spikes, and neuroinflammation in binge urges—why the drive to overeat isn’t just emotional, but biochemical.

Strategic Abstinence vs. Restriction: The critical difference between depriving yourself and removing triggers to restore metabolic and neurological balance.

Real-World Results: How eliminating hyper-palatable foods can stabilize energy, reduce cravings, and create a foundation for true healing—both physically and psychologically.

If you’ve tried "intuitive eating" or moderation but still feel powerless around certain foods, this evidence-based approach could be your missing link. Spoiler: It’s not about willpower or weight loss—it’s about rewiring your biology.

Diagnosed with anorexia as a child and having spent decades in treatment, Mallary knows the truth: recovery isn’t linear, and for many, it doesn’t end with a “happily ever after.” Instead, it exists in what she calls the middle place—the messy, in-between space where healing happens, but perfection is never the goal.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

• What the “middle place” really is—and why most recovery stories leave it out

• Why Mallary describes her book as a restorative narrative (not a redemptive one)

• The danger of perfectionism in healing, and how letting go helped Mallary make real progress

• How language like “full recovery” and “quasi-recovery” can do more harm than good

• The role of shame and secrecy in keeping people stuck—and how to break the silence

• The cultural and clinical blind spots that prevent many from getting diagnosed or treated

Mallary’s work challenges conventional recovery narratives and opens the door to a more compassionate, realistic, and inclusive view of healing.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not sick enough” or “not recovered enough,” this conversation is for you.

15:30 - Normative discontent

16:23 - Recovering in a fat-phobic society

20:20 - Is full recovery / being "fully recovered" even possible?

25:00 - 85% of individuals she interviewed resonated with the middle place

26:10 - How doctors dismissed atypical anorexia in people that don't fit the stereotype for anorexia

With a background in psychotherapy, internal family systems (IFS), and somatic healing, Vanessa offers a deeply compassionate and structured approach to working with food addiction.

Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:

From Addiction to Structure: Vanessa shares her personal recovery journey, including how food addiction impacted her life—and why structure became her foundation for healing.

Redefining Recovery & Abstinence: What’s the difference between recovery and abstinence?

Neurodivergence & Food Addiction: How food addiction can be a form of neurodivergence—and why recovery isn’t always about psychology, but about rewiring patterns through lifestyle and support.

Creating Sustainable Food Plans: Why working with a team—and never going it alone—can be helpful for long-term abstinence, and how to adapt your plan as your body and life change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) in Recovery: How Vanessa uses IFS to help clients identify protective parts, soothe inner conflicts, and build trust with the self—especially for those struggling with bingeing and food-related shame.

If you’ve ever felt like traditional approaches don’t quite fit, or if you’re curious about how structure, trauma recovery, and somatic work intersect—this conversation will leave you feeling seen and supported.

Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:

From Disorder to Embodiment: Stefanie shares her 20+ year journey with disordered eating and how somatic therapy helped her finally break free from the binge-restrict cycle.

Emotional Regulation Tools: How to use grounding, movement, and sensory interventions to process overwhelming feelings—without defaulting to food.

Somatic Experiencing 101: What Stefanie learned from training in somatic experiencing therapy, and how she applies it to help clients build body trust and emotional resilience.

Why Soothing Techniques Don’t Always Work: The real reason grounding tools might fail in the heat of a binge—and how to train your system to tolerate sensations over time.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• The Addictive Food Moderation Myth: Breaking down why the advice to "eat all foods in moderation" doesn't hold up for everyone, especially those with food addiction.
• Why Addictive Food Moderation Fails: Insights into how moderate consumption can lead to increased cravings and binge cycles, making recovery even more challenging.
• Biological Backfire: How even small amounts of trigger foods can hijack the brain's reward system, intensifying the urge to eat more.

• My Personal Experience: Combining personal experiences with scientific research to illustrate why moderation might not be the golden rule for recovery.

If you've ever found yourself frustrated by the common advice of moderation, or if you've felt trapped in a cycle of binge eating despite your best efforts to control your portions, this video is for you.
