Today I’m talking to Lisa Unger - an emotional and eating disorder specialist and a level 2, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner.
Lisa has been on her own healing journey and spent years trapped in a cycle of bingeing and restrictive dieting, leading to self-loathing and unhappiness. She found a path to recovery by combining various techniques with her innate strength and resilience. Today, Lisa embraces all foods without restriction and is no longer ashamed of her body.
Using her skills in nutrition and psychology, Lisa now dedicates herself to empowering emotional eaters and those battling eating disorders to make long term changes to the way they think about food and themselves. With her support Lisa gives them the freedom to regain control of their lives.
Lisa has found EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to be a transformative tool for many of her clients in reducing anxiety and enhancing their overall well-being during their recovery journey. It is a technique that can be used in social settings as well which so many of her clients have found to be invaluable.
In the episode today, Lisa talks about her own healing journey and does a deep dive into EFT. What is it? How can we learn it? How can it help? Then, she explores the integration of EFT, as a strategy for managing anxiety and promoting healing in eating disorder recovery. Lisa brings some real practical examples of how to use EFT, showing how it can be such a valuable healing skill to add to your toolbox. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

Although eating disorder recovery requires behaviour change and a focus on food, it also requires psychological and mindset work. If this part of recovery is not addressed, you are at risk of being stuck in a quasi-recovered place or simply thinking that 'recovery doesn't work for me'. This is part four on all things psychology and mindset in eating disorder recovery. Many people with eating disorders do not feel good enough. In this episode, I explore 20 ways to build solid self-esteem. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today I’m talking to Dr. David Wiss who became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in 2013 and founded Nutrition in Recovery, a group practice of RDNs specializing in treating eating disorders as well as substance use. He earned his Ph.D. in Public Health with a minor in Health Psychology from UCLA by investigating links between adverse childhood experiences and mental health outcomes among socially disadvantaged men. Dr. Wiss's newest venture is his app called Wise Mind Nutrition. Wise Mind Nutrition delivers educational content using nutrition and lifestyle medicine to improve mental health outcomes.
In the episode today, Dr. Wiss explores how adverse life experiences can impact your eating. He dives into his own approaches in treating clients with eating disorders and disordered eating, very much supporting each client as an individual and appreciating a nuanced approach. Dr. Wiss talks ‘all foods fit’ versus the abstinence model, noting how each model is imperfect but brings valuable thinking and tools. He reflects on how it is important to consider an individual’s needs, taking into consideration their personality type, genetics, addiction history and other mental health when addressing nutrition. Dr. Wiss then talks about his app – Wise Mind Nutrition. This is an app that can be used by people in eating disorder recovery but also the wider population. He emphasises relationship with food and getting away from tracking metrics that can be unhelpful, whilst empowering individuals to explore their own food relationship, rather than take on any fixed advice. This is an episode packed full of goodness and inspiration. I hope that you enjoy it.

Of course, you don't have to set goals just because it's the New Year, as recovery is an ongoing process and you can absolutely be inspired for change at any point. But for those of you who are seeking to prioritise change around eating and body image in 2024, this one is for you. I hope that you enjoy it!

If this part of recovery is not addressed, you are at risk of being stuck in a quasi-recovered place or simply thinking that 'recovery doesn't work for me'. This is part two of what was going to be a two-part series (but may become three or four!) on all things psychology and mindset in eating disorder recovery. I talk about early life, emotional coping, emotional intelligence and learning to process emotions in a healthy way. I hope that you find it helpful.

Today I’m talking to Katie Horwitch. Katie is a writer, speaker, mindset coach, and women’s empowerment activist. She is the founder of WANT: Women Against Negative Talk, a platform that gives women tips, tools, motivation, and inspiration to move forward in their lives fearlessly, by shifting their negative self-talk patterns. She is also the host of WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast (currently in its eighth year).
Katie’s new book- Want Your Self, Katie offers a new approach to help you shift your negative self-talk patterns in a real, lasting way that goes beyond just “speaking nicely to yourself.” Because self-talk isn’t positive or negative it’s the story you are telling yourself, so you have to start there.
This wise, compassionate, and pragmatic guide, filled with Katie’s own personal stories and journey, distills the concept of “self-talk” down to its core. The book provides a fresh and much-needed perspective on not only how to shift your negative self-talk at the deepest levels, but how to make that shift last in the face of real life.
In the episode today, we’re going to explore Katie’s personal journey which led her to this passion towards ‘women against negative self-talk’ and understand what inspired her to support others through creating her incredible resources, podcast and book. Katie discusses the difference between self-like versus self-love; things to do when you’re in an overwhelm storm and how we can truly change our negative talk to find a more compassionate, supportive and motivating inner voice.
I know that so many of you struggle with negative self-talk and this episode is going to inspire you with lots of wisdom, skills and strategies to shift this. I hope that you enjoy it.
