How to Stop Binge Eating & Heal Your Relationship with Food w/Jo Moscalu

In this episode, we sit down with Jo Moscalu, a registered dietitian and PhD student studying binge eating in Ireland, to dive deep into the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of binge eating. Jo shares her personal struggle with binge eating after becoming a dietitian, how she overcame it, and the insights she now brings to help others find true food freedom.

Here’s what we’ll cover in the video:

Jo’s Story: How external pressure as a dietitian led her into the cycle of binge eating—and how she found her way out.

The Truth About Recovery: Why recovery isn’t just about food but also about mindset, environment, and emotional well-being.

Beyond the Diet Mentality: Why “normal eating” looks different for everyone and how to create a sustainable approach that works.

Cultural and Social Influences: How societal expectations and stigma around body size impact those struggling with binge eating.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of binge eating, this conversation will provide you with insights, hope, and practical steps to move toward food freedom.
