Cravings and Childhood: Understanding the Root of Your Eating Behaviours 03/28/2025

Cravings and Childhood: Understanding the Root of Your Eating Behaviours In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between our inner child, adult self, and how they influence our eating behaviors. We delve into the psychological concept that we are a sum of many parts, each playing a distinct role in how we navigate life, emotions, and food. The Concept of Multiple Parts Healthy Adult (Version 2): Represents our best self, living in the present moment, feeling empowered, connected, and calm. This part makes choices that support long-term well-being. Wounded Child Parts: These parts are stuck in the past, holding unprocessed trauma. They can feel unsafe and overwhelmed, even if the original events happened decades ago. Trauma and Its Impact Big T Trauma: Major traumatic events such as accidents or abuse. Little t Trauma: More subtle but repeated experiences like emotional neglect, critical parenting, or bullying. These experiences can significantly influence eating habits. Recognizing Who's in Charge When the Healthy Adult is in charge, thoughts are flexible and realistic, with a focus on progress over perfection. When a Wounded Child Part is in charge, thoughts become rigid and all-or-nothing, leading to behaviors like binge eating or numbing out with food. Eating Saboteurs Eating saboteurs act as protectors for our wounded child parts. Understanding these can help in shifting behaviors. The Rebel: Eats to defy control and societal expectations. The Distractor: Keeps busy to avoid emotions, leading to exhaustion and emotional eating. The Inner Critic: Uses food to relieve the pressure of self-judgment. The Numbing Out: Eats to escape stress, caretaking, or overwhelm. The Defeatist: Gives up, believing long-term change is impossible. The Avoider: Promises to start again tomorrow, perpetuating a cycle of overeating. Key Takeaways It is normal for wounded child parts to take over at times. Becoming aware of which part is driving behavior is the first step to change. Re-parenting the wounded child involves recognizing, validating, and soothing these parts. Shifting back to the healthy adult allows for more consistent, balanced behaviors. By tuning into which part is in charge, we can better manage our relationship with food and emotions. Through this process, we move away from blaming ourselves and towards understanding and compassion.

The Stress-Cravings Connection: Mastering Your Nervous System for Reduced Cravings 01/29/2025

The Stress-Cravings Connection: Mastering Your Nervous System for Reduced Cravings Show Notes: Season 3, Episode 2 – The Stress-Cravings Connection Title: Mastering Your Nervous System for Reduced Cravings Welcome back to Reverse the Rebound Weight Gain! I’m your host, Georgie, and in today’s episode, we’re exploring the powerful connection between your stress levels, nervous system, and food cravings. Episode Highlights: Why Stress Fuels Cravings: Your autonomic nervous system controls unconscious processes like digestion, metabolism, and hormone balance—key factors in weight management. The two main systems at play: Sympathetic Nervous System: Your 'fight or flight' mode, which activates during stress and can lead to cravings for comfort foods and poor digestion. Parasympathetic Nervous System: Your 'rest and digest' mode, which supports calmness, digestion, and balanced eating habits. What Happens When Your Nervous System is Out of Balance: Stress overload can cause: Poor digestion Disrupted sleep Heightened cravings for high-calorie foods Missed activation of the parasympathetic system during meals or bedtime disrupts your body’s ability to process food and relax properly. The Goal: Achieve a healthy flow between your nervous systems—activating each at the right time for tasks like exercising, working, relaxing, or eating. Practical Tips: How to Balance Your Nervous System Map Your Stress Patterns: Notice when your stress levels peak (e.g., during work or in the evenings). Identifying these patterns helps you understand when your sympathetic system is dominating. Breathe to Shift States: Use deep breathing to activate your parasympathetic system. Try this: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, and exhale for 6. Do this before meals or bedtime to help calm your body. Create a Relaxing Meal Environment: Eat in a calm, distraction-free space to engage your 'rest and digest' mode. Avoid eating in front of the TV or while scrolling your phone. Use Movement Wisely: While exercise activates the sympathetic system, incorporate gentle movement like yoga or stretching before bed to transition into a relaxed state for digestion and sleep. Next Episode Preview: Join us next time as we explore how feelings of safety—or the lack thereof—shape your relationship with food. Discover why certain emotions trigger cravings and how to create a sense of security within your body.

Healing Your Relationship with Food - Post-Bariatric Weight Regain & GLP-1 Medications. Show Notes: Season 3, Episode 1 – Reverse the Rebound Weight Gain Title: Healing Your Relationship with Food - Post-Bariatric Weight Regain & GLP-1 Medications. Welcome back to Reverse the Rebound Weight Gain! Season 3 is here, and I’m thrilled to dive into some exciting new themes, personal updates, and practical tips to help you on your journey to food freedom and lasting health. Episode Highlights: Life Update: My son Harvey just finished Year 3, and my youngest graduated from Kindy. It’s been a juggling act managing work, my two boys, and my little one’s special needs, which include weekly speech and OT sessions. Big news: We’re moving to Tasmania! My husband’s family is there, and we’re seeking a simpler, more peaceful life, especially as my youngest starts school next year. This move feels like a gift for our nervous systems—a chance to truly settle and find peace. My recent 3 Capes walk in Tassie was an incredible reset, and I’m eager to bring that sense of calm into our new life and work. Evolving Work: My practice has grown to focus on the intersection of food cravings, nervous system regulation, and trauma. It’s a transformative area that’s delivering incredible results for my clients. Case studies from my 3-month intensive program show: 60–90% more natural control over cravings. Significant improvements in mental health. Weight loss (2–12 kg) as a byproduct of healing—not deprivation. What to Expect in Season 3: Deep dives into the nervous system and its role in food cravings. Understanding how trauma and disordered eating patterns shape your relationship with food. Exploring solutions beyond external tools like surgery, weight loss medications, or dieting. Free Resources: Grab my new Ebook on food cravings and emotional eating—it’s packed with insights and practical tools. [Link in show notes!] Check out my case study training to learn more about the results my clients are achieving. Key Takeaways from the Episode: Disordered Eating is a Mental Health Issue: It’s not about willpower; it’s about subconscious patterns rooted in safety and survival. Surgery and medications can be great tools, but they don’t heal the deeper issues. Dieting Doesn’t Work Long-Term: Dieting often leads to more weight gain over time. Instead, focus on rewiring your brain for natural control around food. Morning Matters: A structured, high-protein breakfast sets the tone for your day. Consistency between weekdays and weekends can make a huge difference in avoiding all-or-nothing thinking. Your Eating Patterns Are Tied to Childhood: Even if your childhood was great or you didn’t struggle with weight then, unresolved trauma or emotional triggers can drive mindless eating patterns today. Practical Tip of the Episode: Start your day with a high-protein, balanced breakfast. It stabilizes blood sugar, reduces cravings, and sets you up for success throughout the day.
