In this week's episode, we come together to dispel the common myths associated with binge eating disorder and share the research behind BED. Together, we discuss:

  • What actually is binge eating disorder?

  • How Marianne got into eating disorder coaching.

  • We demystifying the following:

    ❌ BED is just an excuse for people who are “greedy”.

    ❌ BED is a food addiction.

    ❌ BED has “look” or “size”, and that's why it's often being discussed in tangent with obesity, particularly in research.

    ❌ BED recovery means going on a diet or restricting your food intake.

    ❌ BED is anorexia without willpower.

    ❌ Recovery from a long-term eating disorder or when you’ve had different types of eating disorders is possible.

  • How someone may transition from one eating disorder to the other.

  • Medical treatments and therapeutic options for BED which have shown promising results.

Please note that this podcast discusses myths and stigmas associated with binge eating disorder that some individuals may find triggering. Please check in with yourself along the way and remember this shouldn't be used as a replacement for therapeutic advice.
