OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back for Part 2 of this series to help you understand how to get off the diet roller coaster for good.

So many women WANT to stop dieting, but they don't know how, or they don't know what that even looks like, because it's all they've ever known.

So this idea of "food freedom" or NOT being on some sort of diet is not only foreign to them, but it's actually pretty scary, because all their brain has known is what it's like to count, measure, restrict, and control.

Or their brain knows what it's like to bounce to the opposite end of the spectrum, and end up in an uncontrollable cycle of mindless eating, emotional eating, stress eating, or binging, and they just end up feeling super out-of-control.

This week Leanne is laying out the 5 step crystal-clear path way to finally STOP dieting without feeling like you're going off the deep end if you're NOT on something.

HOST: @leanneellington

To learn more about how to turn off the part of your brain that’s obsessed with food or obsessed with your weight and rewire your own brain for peace and freedom,....but WITHOUT restricting yourself, punishing your body, (and definitely WITHOUT ever having to use words like macros, low-carb, or calorie burn) check out Leanne's FREE Stressless Eating Webinar @ www.StresslessEating.com

OUTWEIGH: Amy and Leanne are back for Part 4 of Binge-Free Brain where they explore the mind-blowing connection between emotional and physical pain. Did you know a key area of your brain, the ACC, houses a large number of receptors for both? This means emotional hurt can literally feel like physical pain, which can trigger us to seek comfort in food. We'll delve deeper into the concept of "sensory mismatch" and how it relates to fibromyalgia and other conditions. This episode will unveil the surprising reasons why emotional distress might manifest as cravings, helping you develop more effective coping mechanisms for lasting change.

Binge-Free Brain Part 3: Beyond Biology - How Your Female Brain Shapes Your Relationship with Food (Outweigh)

OUTWEIGH: Ready to understand Binge Eating from the perspective of the female brain specifically? Part 3 of Binge-Free Brain dives into the fascinating science of the female brain. Did you know the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) plays a crucial role in our desire for connection, and when that need isn't met, it can lead to bingeing? We'll explore the key brain regions that differ between men and women, explaining why women are actually MORE susceptible to emotional eating. This episode will empower you to see binge eating as a response to unmet needs -- NOT a personal failing -- paving the way for a more compassionate and effective approach to healing.

"Does It Ever Get Easier?" - Part 2 (Outweigh)

OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to continue the conversation from last week and dives deeper into the question of "Does it ever get easier?". She argues that restrictive diets and intense exercise plans create a cycle of difficulty and ultimately fail because they train your brain for "hard work" instead of training it for"ease."

This week Leanne literally shares a step-by-step checklist for how you can make sure your brain is focusing on creating "ease" by practicing behaviors that are enjoyable, sustainable, and create a sense of freedom. You can take this "checklist" of practices that cultivate ease (flexibility, consistency, happiness) contrasted with practices that reinforce difficulty (control, pain, guilt) to make sure that YOUR brain is set up for success.

By understanding these two categories (when your brain is practicing EASE vs. when your brain is practicing HARD), you can choose the path of least resistance which leads to lasting change and a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.
