Episode 173: From night eating, Adderall abuse, gut issues, and binge cycles to naturally thin and a body that feels safe: Kathleen’s story
Ooooo this is a deep one. In this raw episode, my Heart Led Eating alumni Kathleen shares how she went from a deep binge restrict cycle, 60 lbs of weight gain, night eating with kitchen locks, debilitating gut issues, and an Adderall addiction…to healing it all and becoming naturally thin.
We discuss...
• Generational food and body issues • The dark reality of using substances like Adderall to control appetite and weight • Night eating…the shame, the locks on every cabinet, waking up having eaten a jar of peanut butter with no memory of it • Living between extremes: tracking every bite or full-on binging, gaining or losing, never just existing in a normal body • Coming off years of ultra-strict diets (carnivore, keto, etc.) and relearning how to eat normally • How the simple act of eating can feel traumatizing and how nervous system work rewires that • Completely healing her gut issues (zero bloating, zero pain, zero SIBO symptoms) through Heart Led Eating • Weight slowly stabilizing at her smallest in a very long time, with zero fear of uncontrollable gain ever again • Kathleen and I’s Mexico trip: two full weeks of eating out every single meal, desserts, processed food…and feeling completely free and normal • Advice Kathleen would give to any new Heart Led Eaters
