- 185 - 184: From "I just have thick thighs" to losing 20 lbs and becoming naturally thin: Krista's Heart Led Eating transformation
Krista spent years thinking she was basically healed because the big night binges had stopped. She still had food noise, still overate at most meals without fully realizing it, and had mostly accepted that she just carried excess in her legs and assumed that’s just how her body was built. Growing up in a house where someone was always dieting or binging, she used to wish she could be anorexic so she could finally control herself. As a mom of three, the pull to track, volume eat, and “get back on track” after her third baby almost pulled her right back in. In this episode, Krista shares how she became naturally thin, released over 20 pounds without white-knuckling it, and stop treating food and her body like the main project of her life.
We discuss:
Growing up in a home where someone was always dieting or bingeingRestriction, nightly binges, digestion issues, and the long-held belief that she “just had food issues” Stuck in quasi-recovery for years (not bingeing as badly but still wishing she was thinner)Learning to read the nuances of her built in calorie calculator How she lost 20lbs without tracking anything or removing soul foodsLetting go of the all or nothing root cause Surrendering to the weight her body wants to land atRaising heart led eating children Krista’s advice for current student HLE students in the messy middle How putting food back in order opens new options for life🔗 Links

Imagine binge eating every single day (while on the maximum dose of a GLP-1) weighing yourself multiple times a day, and living with constant food noise and body shame… then titrating off the medication, ditching the scale, maintaining a 25-pound weight loss, and feeling like a completely different person.

Body positivity culture says you heal body image by loving yourself, detaching from your physical body, and doing more inner work.

There’s one specific nervous system state that makes losing excess weight soooo much easier. Once you can get your nervous system into this state, it actually makes it hard to gain weight haha. In this episode I’m sharing what it is, why it changes everything about food and appetite, and how to access it even when life feels chaotic.

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 - 19min - 178 - 177: Restriction, binge-purge cycles, hospitalization & going in circles to healing once and for all: Georgia’s Heart Led Eating Transformation
Sometimes you can do all the “right” things (therapy, eating disorder treatment centers, books, intuitive eating, CBT) and still feel stuck going in circles. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating client Georgia shares how she went from teenage restriction that led to a three-month hospitalization, years of binge-purge cycles, over-exercise, temporary “fixes” that always collapsed, gut destruction after a relapse, and a long stretch of feeling like something deeper was missing… to finally uncovering the nervous-system root and eating like a naturally thin woman with no food noise, seamless excess release, and the ability to just live for the first time in 15 years.
We discuss:
How a desire to lose a couple of pounds as a teenager snowballed into massive restriction, hospitalization, over-exercising, fasting, and a multi-year binge-purge cycleThe consuming years of volume eating, four-hour workouts, weekend binge-purge, concussion-forced rest, CBT, and intuitive-eating efforts that still felt like constant hard workA relapse that destroyed her gut for two years, then carnivore, weight loss that triggered monitoring, more weight gain, tanked thyroid, and increasingly extreme dietsThe pivotal realization that it wasn’t an incurable eating disorder but an underlying nervous-system issue preventing natural eatingFinding Heart Led Eating (and the Somatics masterclass) after trying cold plunges, breathwork, and other tools that felt like a full-time jobWhy the practical, step-by-step, coaching-supported structure of HLE finally worked where years of therapy and self-research hadn’tThe big “ah ha” around intense desire to lose weight as a dysregulation signalTangible shifts after four months: 6–7 kg released, clear separation between dysregulation and hunger, ability to simply be with herself without constant coping, massive mental space, and genuine security that the old cycles are gone🔗 Links

I spent years with debilitating gut issues (constipation, bloating, gas, food intolerances etc) and nothing worked (yes, I tried traditional medicine as well as every “holistic” rabbit hole I could go down). In this episode I’m sharing the 2 root causes of chronic gut issues that almost no one talks about, and the unpopular approach that actually resolved mine (and so many of my clients’).
I discuss...
My personal history of gut issues and everything I tried that didn’t workWhy disordered eating and gut issues are so tightly linked How refining your built-in calorie calculator can eliminate a huge amount of gut symptomsWhy chronic nervous system dysregulation shuts down “rest and digest”The connection between constipation, diarrhea, and the body being in survival modeHow trapped pain and emotions cause food to “land” poorly in the bodyHow to reverse food sensitivities and intolerances The simple (but not easy) way to heal🔗 Links

What if tracking calories to try and manage your weight was actually keeping you stuck? And letting it go didn’t cause chaos, but brought peace, stable weight, better health markers, and a completely different relationship with your body? Today, my Heart Led Eating student, Laura, shares her powerful journey from restriction, pregnancy weight gain, yo-yo cycles, every diet phase (low-fat, low-sugar, high-protein, high-fiber), constant food noise, and fear of losing control...to discovering the root cause and finally trusting her body’s built-in calorie calculator.
We discuss...
How scoliosis, societal praise for smallness, and being short wired a deep drive to always be as small as possibleDecades of calorie tracking, packaged foods for “accuracy,” low-fat/no-sugar eras, exercise as pure calorie burn, and the mental exhaustion of constant managementBeing scared to stop tracking calories and “lose control”The root cause of grazing on food all day longReleasing the obsession with being the smallestTangible health wins: normalized cholesterol (first time in 11 years), improving DEXA/bone density scan, better energy (no more afternoon crashes), and stable weight without trackingWhy this isn’t “eat whatever and accept excess weight”🔗 Links

You’re not disordered for wanting to be thin. When we live in times of food abundance, the human body’s natural state is thinness.

I discuss...
Why carrying excess storage feels bad (it’s not about vanity or society beauty standards)Why it’s not disordered to want to be thin.

I used to think naturally thin people had special genes that made them skinny and I could never be like them. Turns out their brain relates to food differently…and that’s something we can all create. In this episode I’m breaking down exactly how to rewire your brain so your desire for food finally matches what your body actually needs.
I discuss...
The mismatch between your brain’s desire for food and your body’s desire for foodHow using food as a nervous system buffer creates strong neurological pathways that keep us stuck in the binge-restrict cycleThe inside-out process to weight loss that actually works Why forcing yourself to eat less with diets or Ozempic never creates lasting naturally thin energyHow to let old food-regulation pathways die out so you stop fighting urges altogetherExactly how to program your brain to be naturally thin🔗 Links

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 - 26min - 168 - 167: The dark side of intuitive eating...
I tried intuitive eating, and it was the most out of control I have ever felt around food in my entire life. I was gaining weight, eating in a way that felt like a complete free-for-all, and being told by coaches that this was normal and where my body was supposed to be. It didn't feel true. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why intuitive eating fails so many women…and what's different about how naturally thin women eat.
I discuss...
My personal experience trying intuitive eating and why it made things worse instead of betterWhy "eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full" is bad advice How naturally thin women see hunger and fullness differently The root cause intuitive eating never addressesWhy naturally thin women are not doing intuitive eating — and what they're actually doing insteadThe difference between intuitive eating and body-led eatingWhy you can follow intuitive eating perfectly and still gain excess weight🔗 Links

I spent years assuming naturally thin women had something I didn't…better genes, a faster metabolism, some kind of luck they were born with. But when I actually started studying to how they ate, I realized none of that was true. They just had a completely different set of habits. And when I copied those habits, everything changed. In this episode I'm sharing exactly what I stole from them (and none of it involves tracking, restricting, or trying harder)
I discuss...
The myth that naturally thin women have special genes or faster metabolisms…and what they actually have insteadThe specific hunger signal naturally thin women eat in response to (and why most people have never been taught to find it)Why filling your stomach to capacity is working against you…and where naturally thin women actually stopThe "best bites first" habit that completely changed how I eatWhy tracking calories and macros is making it harder to hear your body, not easierHow eating in a dysregulated state is sabotaging your digestion and your hunger cuesWhy decentralizing food and building a life more exciting than eating is one of the most underrated weight loss strategies out there🔗 Links

There are two ways to be thin: ('ve lived both of them) One feels like white-knuckling every single day…tracking, controlling, obsessing about protein, terrified of what happens the moment you stop.

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 - 28min - 99 - 98: Wellness culture trends that lead to sneaky overeating (and what to do instead)
We know more about nutrition than ever before, but somehow, we have more disordered eating and women carrying excess weight than ever before. When we follow all the wellness culture trends around eating (protein, blood sugar, cottage cheese cake desserts haha!) we disconnect ourselves from our built in guide to know how much to eat. Today, I’m unpacking 6 wellness culture trends that keep you disconnected and often lead to overeating.
I discuss…
How our wellness obsessed world has created more disordered eating The difference between “brain led eating” and “body led eating” 6 wellness culture trends that lead to overeating How healthified desserts can lead to overeating How insane protein goals can disconnect you from your body Macro tracking Sneaky blood sugar balancing rules that can lead to overeating My opinion around volume eating How to become a natural eater again➡️ My Links
