If you’ve ever said, “I was so good all day… and then lost control at night,” you’re not alone. In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we’re diving into one of the most common (and least talked about) struggles: the binge and restrict cycle.

Join us as we break down the binge/restrict cycle from both a physical and emotional lens. We talk about why restriction often isn't about willpower—it’s a signal from your body that it’s not getting what it needs. From skipping breakfast to overly “clean” eating, many women unknowingly fall into patterns that create nighttime cravings, shame, and guilt.

This conversation offers a refreshing blend of honesty, education, and practical tools to help listeners identify their triggers, shift their mindset, and fuel their bodies without obsession or extremes. If you want to break free from bringe and restrict cycle, tune in now!

Key Takeaways:

• The binge and restrict cycle is more common than most realize – Many people unknowingly fall into it by under-eating during the day and overeating at night, often blaming themselves instead of recognizing the physiological and emotional roots.
• Eating enough throughout the day—especially a balanced breakfast—is crucial – Consistent, nourishing meals stabilize blood sugar, reduce cravings, and are a foundational step to breaking the cycle.
• Awareness and self-compassion are essential for healing – Journaling, setting realistic goals, and reframing the narrative around food can empower individuals to shift from shame to progress.
