The Eating Disorder Therapist

Today, I’m talking to Dr. Lara Zibarras. Dr Lara has a PhD in Psychology and is a Certified Nutrition & Wellness Coach. She’s also trained in Intuitive Eating and has an Advanced Diploma in Eating Disorders & Nutritional Interventions. Her personal experiences with food have also shaped her approach. Dr Lara helps people with all kinds of disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image issues. Whether someone is struggling with emotional or binge eating, purging, restricting, or negative body image, she will work with you to rebuild a positive relationship for you, with food and your body. Today, Lara is going to talk all about binge eating. She’s going to explore the impact of undereating on bingeing. Dr. Lara is going to talk about the mindset impact on binge eating such as all or nothing thinking and perfectionist tendencies. She’s going to dive deep into the impact of wellness culture and the pressures to eat super healthily and follow particular regimes and how this all can lead to binge eating. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
