Welcome to the Brain Over Binge Podcast, where you learn a simple, brain-based approach to ending binge eating.

I'm so glad you're here for the first episode of 26.

I'm starting another podcast series today, and this one is about a topic that's been getting a lot of attention right now, and that's food noise.

I want to provide what I hope will be a helpful perspective of how to understand and deal with food noise

while also ending the binge eating habit. I think this will be a three-part series, but with the

series I've done in the past, I'm never really sure until I actually start writing down ideas

and recording, so we'll just see how it goes. What I do know is that food noise is something that needs to be talked about in the world of eating disorder recovery, and I'm glad to see others in the field discussing it, and I hope to add something meaningful to this conversation. Before I dive in, I want to quickly tell you about the Brain Over Binge group, which has changed format in the new year.

I'm now leading four group coaching calls per week, and you can come to any or all of them.

The purpose of this is to provide ample time for live coaching for each member each week.

The calls are on Sundays at 11 a.m. Eastern time, Tuesdays at 12.30 p.m. and Thursdays at 9.30 a.m. and 9 o'clock p.m. And again, that's all Eastern time.

In the group, you also get access to a private forum for daily accountability, coaching from me,

and support in between calls. And when you join, you also get full access to the brainover binge

course. The group is very focused on applying the brain over binge principles in your life

and giving you support and encouragement along the way. So if you resonate with this approach and you

want to be part of a community of people working toward those brain over binge recovery goals

of eating adequately and dismissing urges, I truly hope you'll join us. You can learn more at

and that link is also in the show description. Now I'll move on to the topic of food noise,

and I'm calling this part one episode, binging is not a solution to food noise. Because when it

comes to binge eating recovery itself, I truly believe that is the most important thing to

understand and remember as you approach

learning to understand and manage your food noise. Now, food noise is a term that I'm hearing
