259: Why You Can't Fix Your Eating Disorder (And What Actually Works) - with Matty Lansdown

Matty explains that eating disorders and unhealthy food patterns often stem from unresolved emotional experiences, including stress, shame, and even past trauma. In many cases, food becomes a coping mechanism—a way for the brain to regulate difficult emotions or create a sense of control. This is why traditional approaches to gut health, weight loss, and nutrition often fail to create lasting change.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Root Causes of Eating Disorders (trauma, psychology)
• Sexual Trauma & Its Impact on Food Behavior
• Orthorexia & "Healthy Eating" Extremes
