In this week's episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Priya Tew — dietitian, eating disorder specialist, and someone who truly gets it because she's lived it. We're diving into the binge restrict cycle: that exhausting pattern of being "on it" one week and completely "off it" the next. If you're on a journey of binge eating recovery, or you're just starting to ask how to heal your relationship with food, this conversation is for you.

Priya brings her clinical expertise and her own personal journey together to help us understand why this cycle keeps repeating — and it's not about willpower or discipline. It's about biology, the nervous system, and decades of diet culture we've absorbed without even realising it.

We talk about the fear that keeps so many women stuck when it comes to emotional eating — and why that fear is actually making things worse. And Priya shares her approach to nervous system regulation, body neutrality, and the small but powerful daily practices that can start to break this cycle for good. Whether food freedom feels miles away right now, or you're simply tired of the guilt and the all-or-nothing thinking, this episode will meet you where you are.

Key Takeaways

• The binge restrict cycle isn't a willpower problem — it's a biological and neurological response driven by restriction, stress, and a nervous system stuck in threat mode.
• Body neutrality is a realistic middle ground — you don't have to love your body, but self acceptance (rather than constant war) is where real change begins.
• Nervous system regulation is non-negotiable — whether it's meditation, a walk in the woods, or tending to houseplants, calming your threat brain is a foundational part of binge eating recovery.
• Regular eating, including "fun foods" every day — reduces the binge eating urge because restriction is what fuels the all-or-nothing thinking in the first place. This is intuitive eating in practice: learning to trust your body again and finding your own version of food freedom.
• If you've been wondering how to stop emotional eating, the answer starts not with more discipline, but with understanding what your nervous system is actually asking for.

Welcome to the Busy Woman's Guide to Wellbeing, the podcast for women who are done with the hustle and are ready to feel at home in their own skin. I'm your host, Alix Life, therapeutic and fitness coach for busy women who want to do less, live more and feel good from the inside out.

Every week I'm going to help you to cut through the noise, challenge the shoulds, and find new ways to live and move that actually feel like you. Hey there. Welcome back to the Busy Woman's Guide to well Being.

And this week I have got something for you that I have not done for absolutely ages because this week I've got a guest for you.

Now, she is somebody that I've followed for quite a long time and the opportunity presented itself to have her as a guest, so I jumped at that and I know that this conversation is going to be so, so valuable for you. My guest this week is Priya Chew. She's a dietitian who specializes in eating disorders and disordered eating.

She's got a really wide experience of working with the NH and she is a regular on TV as well. She's appeared on BBC Breakfast recently and was also a regular on Eat well for Less, among other things.

And today I'm going to be talking to her all about the binge restrict cycle, something that I know a lot of you are going to be really, really interested in.

So many of us, I think, swing between those weeks of being good and having all our ducks in a row and then those times where we feel like we completely lose control. So we're going to make the most of Priya's expertise today to talk about exactly what's going on when that pattern keeps repeating.

And a couple of strategies to help you to step off that roller coaster for good. I do also want to say before we start that for some this can be a really difficult and sensitive topic.

So I'm going to share Priya's details later on so you can get support from her as and when you need to. Right, let's get into it. So, hi, Priya, welcome to the podcast. How are you doing?

I'm really well. Thank you so much for having me.

Good. No problem. I'm really excited to have you.

Like I was saying to you before, this is the first time for literally, I think about two years that I've actually had a guest on the podcast. So it's really nice to have somebody. I get so many pitches every week. These, like cold pitches from people who just are not relevant at all.

And Then, yeah, I think I saw, I saw a comment that you'd made on a post somewhere and I was like, oh, I've got to get Priya on. She's really good.

So I'm really excited for this conversation today and what we're really going to get into is talking about this binge and restrict cycle because it's something that I think probably the majority, a decent majority of the women that I work with certainly get into that place of they're either on it or they're off it and there's no balance in between.

And I think a lot of women are trying to get to that balance and they're telling themselves I can have that balance when I have achieved X amount of weight loss. And so of course they stay stuck in that forever. So we're going to really talk about that a little bit today.

But before we go into that, I just want to ask you a little bit about how you, how did you get into this work? What sort of drew you into this? Working with eating disorders, disordered eating as well?

Well, I always like to say I'm an accidental dietitian, so I never set to work in dietetics. I actually wanted to be a doctor and then didn't quite make it along the way. And I did a degree that focused on biochemistry and nutrition.

Absolutely loved it. Ended up becoming a dietitian just through absolute fluke. Went for an interview, got a space on the course and then thought, well, what do I do now?

This is exciting and this is the era where I couldn't get a job. There were no jobs. I was lukeming, I was kind of doing various bits of admin as well on the side as doing dietetics.

And then a post came up in eating disorders and I honestly thought, this is not the job for me. This is too in depth. This is going to be really, really hard. And I got the post. Looking back on it, it was the best thing ever. And I can now.

I was actually really good at that job because I have lived experience. So as a teenager I went through what I would probably say now was atypical anorexia.

And I had a long journey with disordered eating all through my 20s. And I think that's given me a really good understanding of how it can be for people.

And that's really my passion now is how can I really help people who are still stuck in that cycle of disordered eating, who are still stuck in that poor relationship with food in their body and who really need that help and that support to move forwards.

And I think that's the thing, isn't it, that, you know, you talk about, you experience that as a teenager. And for the vast majority of us, that's where it stems from, isn't it? It doesn't just go back for a few years.

For many of us, this goes back literally to decades, to those moments as teenagers where, you know, we're maybe watching our mums have different meals to everybody else because they're on a diet or, you know, I've, like so many women that I've.

I've worked with as well, have had experiences where their parent or a relative has taken them to a Weight Watchers meeting when they're like 14 and things like that. And so that goes back in our psyche such a long way, doesn't that?

It really does. You know, I grew up with a mum who was on the Rosemary Connolly diet. We were doing on the workouts and it was nothing, totally not her fault.

It was the culture. Everybody was talking about, the diet that they're on. We're still living in that culture. It's just changed a little bit now.

So I think for women who've grown up in that, they've actually never necessarily seen it as a bad thing. It's just become part of who we are, but actually is really damaging to our mental health and to our physical health too.

And I think that's the interesting thing, isn't it, that you say it becomes a part of who we are. And I think that is so true. You know, women will say to me, I'm just an all or nothing person.

This is just the way that I operate, this is just the way that it works for me. And so it's almost like we've convinced ourselves over the years that that is where we're at, that is who we are.

And we can't escape from that, can we?

It's just everywhere, isn't it? I think it's obviously in the media, it's on social media, but it's also even our political system.

And women, they need to look a certain way, they need to act a certain way, and they need to take up less space. And that infuriates me because it's actually stopping women from being who they should be.

So if you're living off a restrictive diet, for example, you are not being your best self, you're not able to do all the things and function at the level that perhaps you could be functioning at. And it has this ongoing impact where it's then impacting the next Generation, the generation after that.

So I am really passionate about helping women to break free from that and to do that and move into that place where they reclaim their identity and they don't end up living in this constant fear and anxiety.

Yeah. And that for me is always the entry route, isn't it? The fear. Where's the fear coming from? What is it that we're, we're afraid of?

And I think that there's this funny, what's the word? Dichotomy of.

On the one hand we know it's not really working because we've been doing it for that long, that we're still not getting the result we want. But on the other hand, we keep convincing ourselves that somehow this time it's going to work and it's gonna be okay.

So we get stuck in the middle of that, don't we? We get very mixed up in beating ourselves up as well. I think that is such a big part of it as well, isn't it? That self flagellation.

I suppose that beating ourselves up that we do totally.

I think a lot of people get stuck of trying to be good. I'm trying to be good.

I'm trying to eat less, I'm trying to stick to the right foods, I'm trying to have a perfect diet, I'm trying to do the best possible for my health and look after myself. And then they get to a point where it's like, well, I can't do this now. I failed.

So now I may as well eat all of the stuff I wasn't allowing myself to eat and do it all quite quickly and do it all to quite an extreme amount sometimes. And then now my brain switched back on and actually I'm thinking this through.

I feel guilty, I feel full of shame, I feel really worried about what I've done to my body and to my health.

So we go back into that cycle and it can just go round and round around and even though you know it's not working, the problem is what else are you going to do? So if you. The fear is, well, if I stop, well, what's, what's the alternative and what happens if I do that? And our brains are very fearful of change.

And so if we don't know what's going to happen, even though rationally we might be able to think it through, that fearful part of our brain is going to really stop us.

So a major part of the work that I do with people, obviously as a dietitian is around nutrition, but actually it's also around how do we deal with the thoughts, the fears, the worries and the beliefs? How do we start to retrain our thinking processes? And what do we do when those feelings of guilt and shame actually come up?

Yeah, and I think the fear, for many women, it's the fear of gaining weight. It's the fear of suddenly being out of control.

It's almost like pattern makes them feel like they have an element of control over the situation, even though it's not getting them where they want to go. And I think that so many women think that. Yeah, but if. If I start to let go of this, I just will not be able to control myself at all.

I'm going to eat everything in sight. I'm going to pile a load of weight on all of a sudden. And that it's almost become. That is the worst thing that we can possibly do for ourselves.

Because you said something before as well about we do this because we want to do this for our health. Like, yes, there is aesthetics in there, and we want to look a certain way and fit into those genes or whatever it is.

But we also believe that we are doing this because of our health as well, don't we?

I think we've been really sold this lie that in order to be healthy and to be the best versions of ourselves, we have to be in the smallest body. And that doesn't work for the majority of people because we've got genetics and biology here.

So if your body is not designed to actually, if you haven't got a set point that's designed to be in a really small body, you know, in a size 8 or whatever it might be, then you are constantly going to be fighting biology the whole time, which means your brain is going to constantly be shouting at you and arguing back at you as well. Body is going to be constantly fighting you. And I just don't think that that is a fun way to be living.

There's a lot of acceptance. I think that has to happen here as well, isn't there? You know, I talk to women about, you know, having.

You don't necessarily have to learn to love your body overnight, but sometimes we have to learn to accept where we are because that, that is the place from which we are able to make change when we're not fighting against ourselves all the time.

I like to think about body neutrality with people. You don't have to love your body. We don't want to hate our bodies. But can you find this midpoint where you can just go, okay, this is my body, Right.

Maybe I'm not 100% happy with it. I quite often say to people, I think if you ask 95% of women, they might say they weren't happy with their bodies.

Doesn't that show what a lie we've been sold the time and along these years? But can we come to a place where we can see the positives of being where we are?

So, okay, maybe I'm not the weight that I would like to be, or my body doesn't look exactly how I want it to be. But do you know what? It's birth, children. My legs are strong and can squat. I can walk up hills. I can, you know, do the things that I want to do.

I've got someone who currently wants to go hiking in Canada and see that. Like, great, let's get you to that place. Let's get you to do that. Because you can't do that right now, the way that your body is fueled.

So trying to constantly think about actually being in a smaller body doesn't bring us everything that we want in life.

Being in a body that is healthy and full of vitality and having a brain that's not constantly obsessed with food and tracking calories and what I ate yesterday, that has to be a good thing.

Yeah. And I've certainly learned this lesson for myself because I was definitely a person throughout my 20s and 30s that constantly was on a diet.

And the amount of work that it took to keep myself into that in that smaller body was, you know, it was phenomenal. It took an amazing amount of discipline all the time and, you know, constant denial, constant guilt.

And when I started to come out of that myself, one of the things that I had to do was get my head around the fact that I was going to put some weight on and that that was okay. And I did put some weight on because I'd been keeping my weight, you know, a lot lower than it probably should have been.

And the world did not collapse. I still felt okay about myself. I learned to accept myself as I was.

And I think it's from that place that I have been able to find more balance for me, because I've realized that it's not the end of the world for your body to change. It's. It's really not. And sometimes that has to happen for you to come into that place of acceptance, I think.

But it's super hard. One of the exercises I sometimes take is to think about, what would somebody say at your funeral? Like, how would they describe you?

Very important exercise. But what, you know, how would you describe Maybe your best friend, would you comment on their size? No.

You're not going to say I love them because they had a small body. You're going to say I loved their sense of humour, I loved their compassion, I loved what a great friend they were.

And those are the things that really make us stand out in life, not how we look. But that isn't what we're constantly being told.

So this is where we kind of as women I think have to keep reminding each other of the really good things that we like about each other as well. You know, coming back to what those core values are in life is such an important concept.

Yeah, I do that kind of thing with, with clients as well where I'll say, you know what, what do you think the people who love you, what do you think they would say about you, about the qualities they appreciate and they come to realize that it's, it's got nothing to do with their bodies and it's got everything to do with the person that they are. And I think that's such an important kind of perspective shift as well.

But just sort of moving on a little bit, I suppose it'd be really interesting to address this fear, I suppose head on because I think there's that, yes, there's that fear that if you come out of this binge restrict on it off its cycle that you're gonna put the weight on. But I think a lot of women, they want to come out of this but they still want their body to change.

So what's the kind of mindset that we maybe need to be thinking about? Do we have to completely let go of any of those, go around weight loss initially or can that still be a part of the conversation?

Like where do you sit in this and how we can deal with that desire to still change, but also the desire to not have to be in that binge restrict cycle all the time.

So it's a really complex one because for some people their weight won't necessarily change. And I've worked with people who have been in a binge restrict cycle and then when we have worked together they have actually lost weight.

That hasn't been our goal, that hasn't been what we set out to do. But it's really, really going to depend on your body and where it wants to be long term.

So you might be able to work that out by perhaps where your weight has stayed stable in the past.

That might give you an idea or by looking at other people who are similar to you in your family having a think about you know, where do they genetically stay? But we've got to think through trying to let go of this idea of trying to control weight and giving the body an opportunity to settle.

And I like to think through with people, well, do you know what, if your weight did end up in a place where perhaps you hadn't aimed it to be, so it might be that you're a little bit heavier than you wanted to be, but it was stable and you didn't have to constantly track and be thinking about what you're eating all of the time. You didn't have that food noise, you didn't have to be controlling it and it controlling you. Would that be better?

And it's coming to that place of realization that actually if we, we can be in that more intuitive place with our eating and more in tune with our bodies, that our bodies aren't out to get us. Our bodies don't want us to keep gaining and gaining and gaining and gaining and gaining weight because that's hard work for our bodies.

They have to work harder, they have to do more. So our bodies actually want us to sit in this healthy zone where they can work optimally.

And I think sometimes if we can start to quieten down our brains with some of the exercises that we can do and using tools like meditation and mindfulness style work, then actually it enables us to see a little bit more clearly and go, well, okay, maybe my body does have the best for me. Maybe it's not out to get me like I actually think it is.

But I would say to anyone who's struggling with this, that again, it is a stream of thinking that we've been taught and our brains can get very trapped by the way we eat into a fear cycle. So we have a form of our brain, which is our primal brain, our more primitive brain. And that is the part of our brain that senses threat.

So it's constantly looking out for, right, where's the next threat?

And if we are living in adrenaline, so we're living perhaps a life that's highly stressed, we're feeling overwhelmed, we're, we're doing all the juggling, we're carrying the mental load, then that threat brain is going to be activated more quickly.

And then also if you are restricting your food and you're going from one, you're going from the all to the nothing, that's also going to potentially trigger that threat brain. So that threat brain is a bit more active, it's on edge. You're constantly like all the time living in this place of adrenaline.

That does mean that it's harder to listen to the more rational brain, which is our slightly more evolved brain, that isn't working quite as it is. The prefrontal cortex isn't quite as online as it could be until we bring the noise down.

So the very first part of work quite often is to try and get into some form of regular eating. Yes. But also think, what am I going to do to help my brain and my nervous system calm? And then can I see how I feel?

Yeah. That's so important, isn't it, that nervous system regulation? And I think there's almost two parts of that for me.

There is the nervous system regulation, where you are quietening the brain and you're finding more ways of bringing your nervous system into balance.

But there's also, for me, an element of women learning to sit with some of the uncomfortable feelings that they're feeling as well, because we want to get rid of that. We want that all to go away and to not feel bad feelings.

But I think when we can sit with it, it actually widens that window of tolerance that we have, and it means that we realize that nothing bad is going to happen because we had a bad feeling and we sat with that a little bit. So I think that, for me, is the other side of that nervous system regulation as well.

Completely. So when I do group work, we cover all of that. So we will always start with some form of mindful activity, some kind of meditation.

And I quite often find for the women I work with that when we're at the start of our journey, it doesn't work. They're like, no, I didn't like that one. That's absolutely fine. We're gonna try some other ones, so don't worry. We'll find something that sits.

And I've actually just been working with someone. She's been in my recovery tribe group for the last 12 weeks, and it's taken her to week seven to go. Okay.

No, this time this week, actually, it did work. I was able to.

And in those exercises, and we're trying to use our breath, we're trying to calm our minds, and we're trying to focus in on a specific thought and sitting with it and letting it be. So we want to notice what the thought is that we might have. We want to name it. So rather than feel guilt, when I eat biscuits, it's.

I'm noticing that when I eat biscuits, I have this guilty thought thought in my head that instantly creates space between us and the thought. We're no longer the Thought. The thought is there and then. I love this idea. A wave. I'll explain.

It is if you were in a swimming pool and you had that thought. And let's imagine that thought is a beach ball and you tried and tried and tried to keep that beach ball beneath the water.

Initially that might be quite easy, but over time it's going to get harder and harder. Your arms are going to eventually that beach ball is going to pop up and you're going to get showered with water.

Now what we try and do with those thoughts instead is we try and allow them to be present, but just give them a little bit of space in our brain. We've try and turn the volume down so we let that beach ball or that thought go around the pool, wherever it wants to go.

Occasionally it comes close to us, but quite often it's quite a way away and we can't really see it. And if we can learn to just sit with those thoughts, that's what they will do.

They will ebb and they will flow like clouds will float past us in the sky. And so that's the other really, really important piece of work to do. It's kind of calming the nervous system.

And when I talk to people about the nervous system, they're like, I can't meditate, just can't do it. My brain's too busy. I get that I am that person.

But I can tend to my house plants, I can go in the garden and water my seeds now I can go for walks and look at the trees. I on my Pilates reformer and I can breathe whilst I'm doing some movement. All of that counts.

So often it's finding the right exercise to calm your brain and then progressing with that. And then go, right, now can I scan myself? Can I learn to notice and name those thoughts and then allow myself to sit with them?

And that can have a massive impact when you're dealing with food. So for somebody who says, well, I've tried regular eating, I've tried breakfast, meals, snacks, it never works.

Have you done it together with this work on the nervous system and the thinking? Yeah, because if you haven't done it all together, that's why it hasn't worked.

Yeah, it's a multi layered approach and similar to what you're saying about creating that space for your brain.

An exercise that I get women to do sometimes is when they are a really regular pattern or common pattern that I see is you get home from work, say you've had a tough day, you've eaten pretty well, Breakfast, lunch, you've had the stuff that's supposed to keep you full, and yet you get home and you start eating your feelings.

And I'll often say to women, when that is happening, rather than you just reacting to it, just take a second and just ask yourself, what is it that's actually going on here? What's the feeling that's actually going on here? What is the thing that I actually need? And it's not designed to stop them from doing the thing.

If you still want to do it, do it.

But it's starting to introduce the space where rather than just becoming reactive to everything, you can start to be a little bit more responsive to yourself and you can start to talk about being able to hear what your body is trying to tell you. And we have all forgotten that skill. Like, pretty much all of us have forgotten how to do that, haven't we?

Yeah, we have. We've forgotten how to just check in with ourselves. And more than that, checking in and then allowing yourself to respond to it.

So I love that idea of responding. Like, is it that I'm tired? Is it that I actually just need. I know at the end of a busy day for me, I need connection.

I need my husband to stand in the kitchen whilst I'm cooking and listen to me as I share all the stuff that I need to get out of my head from my day, because that's how my brain works. And then it feels a lot quieter. It's like, what is it that you need? Is it really the big bag of crisps?

Because that would be the thing I would go for, or is it that actually you need to go outside and have a walk and get a break, you need to read a book and come.

And it takes a lot of bravery, I think, to try these things out and to just go, I'm going to allow myself to have this time rather than jumping straight into the household. And I think that's.

You know, my husband is always the most annoying, good example of things like this, because he comes home from school that he works at and he always takes time to have a cup of tea and sit down on the bed. And it irritates me because there's loads of things that need doing in this moment.

But I can also see that actually that's the time when he's sorting his brain out. And it has a big impact. And I could really learn from doing that myself. But I don't know if other people feel this way.

I know they do because I work with them, but it seems that for women, we so often can't give ourselves those moments. We seem to struggle to do that because there's so much we have to get done in life, which means our brains never get a break.

So then we're turning to the reward of food instead.

Yeah, 100%. Yeah. And it's not. And I think the other thing with all these things is it's not about an overnight change.

And we've become so used to, you go on the diet, you lose the weight quickly. Sorry, get my frog out my throat. That all happens very quickly. By the end of the week, we've already lost that first couple of pounds.

This is a very different way of approaching it because you're not saying, hey, if you notice what you need, all of a sudden you won't have that craving anymore. That's gonna disappear. That doesn't happen.

But it's having enough patience with yourself to keep doing it and keep doing it and keep doing it and gradually starting to notice, oh, hang on a minute. I am starting to respond differently. I am allowing myself to do different things. I am feeling that bit more space, which is the thing that I needed.

So it's being able to slow ourselves down enough for this to work. Like you say, we can have tried these things before, but if we haven't given ourselves the space and we haven't given our nervous.

The opportunity to really lean into that, then it's going to be very hard to do. So patience is probably a biggie, right?

Yeah, absolutely. You know, instead of going on a 12 day diet, we need a 12 week approach.

Yes. Even more probably than that.

For some of us, I think initial starter is, you know, we think we get a longer period of time. We give ourselves three, six months.

Yeah.

And then we can start to see a difference. Because, you know, they say it takes like a year to build a habit, don't they?

So it's going to take us a long time to start retraining our brains and to start building. I love this, this theory of neuroplasticity where we are able to rewire our brains and we can build new pathways of thinking.

So if you have spent decades going, this food is bad, there are good and there are bad foods. I must not eat this. Then it's going to take you a little while to build this new pathway of actually, all foods are allowed.

So one of my moms, all foods are good foods. We can eat any foods. It is all about moderation and common sense and balance. But we don't need to restrict them.

Build that new pathway and go over and over and over and over it to make it stronger. And that is going to take you doing that continuously for a few months before you start to see the impact. But it does work.

Yes. Yeah. It's wearing. It's creating that new kind of groove, isn't it? You've got to keep walking that path over and over again to create that new groove.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we're sort of coming to the end of this conversation now.

I think we've covered so many amazing things, but just to finish off, what would you with a woman who is sitting there going, yeah, you know, this really is me. I am somebody who is always either on it or off it, and I can't seem to get the balance in between these things.

What would be like the first step or the first couple of steps that you would recommend to her to be taking to start this journey?

I think we've got a few big keys. The first thing is to be kind to yourself. We've got to start with this place of kindness and reflection on how long this has been going on.

So it's going to take a while. There's no quick fix here, I think. And we've also got to really focus in on nutrition.

I'm biased, I'm a dietitian, but regular eating, where we're not restricting any food groups, the carbs are there, the protein is there. Yes. We've got the fibre, we've got the fruit and veg. Yes. We've got the healthy fats, we've got the dairy or the dairy alternatives. We need it all.

And you need to allow yourself what item? The fun foods. So we need to have something like the cake, the biscuit, the chocolate in there every single day.

And when you stop restricting yourself is when we start to see, actually this is helping. So I think we've got the food. And then I'd also encourage them to start building in five minutes of something mindful.

Just start with something really small every single day. But then at the weekend do something longer on your day off. So that's where you go for your. An hour, your hour and a half walk in the woods.

Take the kids with you. They'll love it too, after they've, you know, they're teenagers.

Not mine anymore,.

But mine. Tell me, mommy, our friends don't go for walks. I'm like, wow, never mind, you're going. But we've got to have those different elements.

So it's the food, it's the mindfulness. And then I would Also say start journaling to start writing down what are the thoughts.

You might not know what to do with them, but at least you're making a note of what they are. And you can start to see what are the common stories that my brain is telling me.

Because that's the kind of stuff that you can then take to work with somebody on this. Yeah, that's the awareness comes to me with all of this information. I'm like, oh, wow, okay, this is great. We can really crack on here.

Yeah, brilliant. Perfect. Thank you. So just before we get finished then, Priya, I know that you've got a couple of resources that you can share with us.

So do you want to share? I will obviously put the links in the show notes as well, but just tell us a little bit about what you've got.

Yeah. So if you want to connect with me, the platform I am most active on is Instagram, so do feel free to find me. I'm reartu over there.

I share lots of educational posts and my DMs are always open for chats as well. I'm a very chatty person, as you can tell if you look out on there. I quite often share my resources, my freebies.

So I've got one specifically on binging which is called Binge Proof Plate. You can get that on my website as well. And I also have a me plan guide which is quite helpful.

I have just a very low cost Breaking up with Binging workbook, which is a really good starter. And then I work with people one to one.

But also I run a 12 week hybrid course, which means there's educational videos, but you also get weekly group calls with me and that is where we build community.

And I love this way of working with people because I see that I get to help them, but they help each other and it's like so magical when you get that happen. So that's called the Recovery Tribe. We run three times a year.

And it's just, I think, powerful when you get Community together and you get a group of women working on doing this kind of stuff all at the same time.

Yeah. You know you're not alone.

Absolutely. We're not alone. Yeah.

Brilliant. All right, well, thank you so much. That has been really, really helpful today.

I know that everyone's gonna love listening to this episode, so thank you for joining us.

Priya, thank you so much. What a pleasure.
