The Food Freedom Lab™ with Ryann Nicole Ryann Nicole

In this episode, we're unpacking a question that hits close to home for many of us who have ever struggled with food:
'... the fact that I can’t regulate how much I eat is really frustrating. I am a very logic-based person and I know how much I should eat, but every time I plate my food, I will either eat more or it will turn into a binge! What is wrong with me?'
If you've ever had this question, tune into this episode to hear my answer!

Join me for a raw and real conversation where I open up about the challenges of being a new mom and how it's stirring up memories of my past struggles with binge eating. In this podcast, I'll share the highs, lows, and messy in-betweens as I navigate this new phase of my life.
This episode is not just about the struggle – I'll also dive into the strategies and mindset shifts I'm employing to stay on track and prevent myself from slipping back into old habits. Buckle up for some honesty, vulnerability, and hopefully some relatibility. 
Disclaimer: This podcast is my personal rollercoaster ride through new motherhood, complete with all the messy emotions and reflections on how it's been for me. If you're pregnant with your first baby, maybe hold off on tuning in – I don't want to send you into a panic, because this might not be your experience at all!
