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.

Ep. 259: The One Focus That Calms Cravings Without Dieting or Starting Over
Afraid of Spiraling After the Holidays? Do This One Thing First.
The days after the holidays can feel unsettling, especially if you’ve ever found yourself swinging between restriction and “throwing it all out the window” when it comes to food.
If you’re feeling anxious about losing control, gaining weight, or starting another all-or-nothing reset in January, this episode is for you.
In this short, grounding conversation, I share one simple, non-overwhelming focus that can dramatically reduce cravings, quiet food noise, and help you feel more stable and in control—starting today.
This isn’t about dieting, starting over, or forcing perfection.
We’ll explore:
- Why post-holiday spirals aren’t a character flaw—but a biological pattern
- How under-fueling quietly fuels cravings, urges, and evening binges
- The overlooked role protein plays in calming food noise and emotional eating
- How stabilizing your body creates more emotional and mental space to respond—not react
- A practical “yes-and” approach that allows indulgence without losing control
I also share a real-life example of how prioritizing protein helped me enjoy pizza and dessert—without guilt, shame, or spiraling—by working with my body instead of against it.
If you want to move into the new year feeling steadier, calmer, and more self-trusting around food—this episode will help you take that first step.
