The Antidote To Mindless Eating | Kari Anderson

The Health Investment Podcast with Brooke Simonson

EPISODE 216 - Having personally struggled with binge eating and weight stigma, Kari Anderson’s professional career has been driven by a personal passion. In her 30 years of working with eating disorders, Kari’s recent work has been focused on Binge Eating Disorder. Her unique ability to create a safe, non-judgmental, and healing environment makes her, as patients often state, “someone who gets it.” Her most recent book and memoir Food, Body & Love describes a love-based program for healing your relationship with food and your body. In the episode, Kari shares how to harness your nervous system to avoid stress eating, how “harm reduction eating” reduces cravings, how to stop mindlessly eating while watching TV…and more!

What is "polyvagal theory," and how can understanding it be life changing? How can you harness your nervous system to avoid stress eating? What’s a habit loop? How can it be broken? What’s “harm reduction eating” and how can it reduce cravings? How can you stop mindlessly eating while watching TV? In my work with clients, I've found that using the words "binge" and "addicted" can fuel self-sabotaging behaviors. Is it best to remove these words from our vocabulary and reframe our eating behaviors?
