Rise and Align With Food
Reshanda Yates discusses how to stop binge eating so you can lose weight, have energy, focus, and be present for your family and children. Learn why you binge and how to stop bingeing on sweets and carbs. Move from information to implementation and past the frustration of knowing what to do but never being able to do it. Be able to trust yourself alone with all the sweet treats and not dig into the kitchen when no one else is around. In this podcast, Reshanda shares her own stories of struggling with binge eating for 10 years. She knows first-hand what it’s like to promise again and again that this will be the last time, only to wake up the next morning and repeat the same cycle. She understands the guilt and shame that can go hand in hand with binge eating having done every insane thing in the book with food, including eating out of the trash can after throwing food away. She believes if she can come back from that, anyone can.

Episode 251: Breaking Free from Trigger Foods: How to Retrain Neural Pathways Without Deprivation
Why can some foods sit untouched in your pantry for weeks, while others feel impossible to resist the moment they enter your house? It's not about willpower—it's neuroscience. In this episode, I reveal why both avoiding trigger foods and giving yourself full permission backfire, and share a science-based third option that actually works.
If you've ever felt powerless around certain foods while having complete control over others, this episode will help you understand what's really happening in your brain and how to change it.
You'll discover:
• The real reason certain foods have power over you—and how your brain has wired emotional context to specific foods over time
• Why the "either-or trap" of avoidance versus permission keeps you stuck in the restrict-binge cycle and reinforces the neural pathways working against you
• A 3-step method from the Crave to Clear framework to rewire your brain's automatic response: identify the wiring (not the food), interrupt the automatic pattern, and rewire through consistent practice
This is for women who are ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root cause of emotional and binge eating.
