About Eating Disorders

Struggles with food are rarely just about food, and many people come to DrTalks looking for a kinder way forward. Binge eating, emotional eating after a hard day, fear around food that makes meals stressful, sudden changes in a child's eating, and shame that keeps people quiet are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past willpower. Eating struggles are tied to trauma, stress, brain chemistry, blood sugar swings, gut health and hormones. You'll find conversations on freedom from binge eating, moving from food fears to food freedom, emotional eating, amino acids for mood and cravings, and how infections can affect eating in kids. Doctors, therapists, coaches and people in recovery explain what's actually going on, which screening questions are worth bringing up with your provider, and what helps, from therapy and community support to mindful eating, steady nourishing meals, better sleep and self-compassion.
