Joining me on the pod today is the amazing Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin. She is a psychoanalyst, author, and radio host specializing in eating disorders, emphasizing binge eating disorders.
Dr. Nina encourages us to be detectives by not looking at our binge eating as the problem but instead as the solution to a problem we might not yet be able to see or identify. How we should look for ways to determine what is eating at us that caused us to binge instead of the behavior itself.
Internationally recognized for her unique perspective in the field of eating psychology, she is the author of The Binge Cure: 7 Steps to Outsmart Emotional Eating and Food for Thought: Perspectives on Eating Disorders and co-editor of Beyond the Primal Addiction. She’s the author of more than fifty articles about emotional eating, and her YouTube series Break Free from Bingeing helps viewers using an anti-diet approach. She also hosts The Dr. Nina Show radio program on LA Talk Radio.
