In this episode, I sit down with a former client, Nesmah ElDesouky, whose story will feel all too familiar if you've ever lived through the exhausting cycle of dieting, restriction, and binge eating.

She shares how what started as a simple fitness routine in college spiraled into 800-calorie meal plans, food fear (yes—even of tomatoes and bananas), secret late-night binges, and hiding wrappers so no one would know. Like so many of us, she thought the solution was just to "try harder" with dieting—but the harder she tried, the worse things became.

Together, we talk about:

• Why restriction and "fear foods" only fuel binge eating (and what to do instead)

• The surprising role emotional connection plays in healing your relationship with food

• How she went from secretly bingeing in her room to running her own cookie business—without obsessing, overeating, or fearing weight gain

• The exact first steps that helped her stop binge eating and finally feel in control around food

If you've ever worried that "eating what you want" will only lead to more weight gain—or if you've tried every diet under the sun and still feel broken around food—this conversation will show you what's actually possible.

👉 Listen now and discover how freedom with food can finally become your reality.
