The Hidden Reason You Can't Stop Binge Eating (bulimia), And How to Fix It | Amber Romaniuk

About this episode

Dr. Wendy Myers and Amber Romaniuk discuss the hidden causes of binge eating and bulimia, offering insights and practical solutions for healing.

Restricting food to fix binge eating is like using gasoline to put out a fire. It just won't work! In today's episode, I sit down with Amber Romaniuk to explore the root causes of binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction that most people completely overlook. Amber shares how low progesterone triggers insatiable cravings by disrupting your hunger signals and mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters, why candida and parasites hijack your brain to demand constant sugar, and how unworthiness created in childhood keeps you trapped in self-sabotage cycles for decades. We explore practical solutions such as hormone testing, building energetic boundaries as an empath, healing your inner child, and stopping the all-or-nothing perfectionism that makes every diet backfire. "Once you heal and have your power back, nothing externally influences you anymore. Nothing. You're free." ~ Amber Romaniuk In This Episode: - From childhood trauma to eating disorders - Root causes of bulimia and binge eating - How parasites and candida drive cravings - Why women struggle with self-sabotage - Unexpected triggers to binge eating - How diets make eating disorders worse - Tools to start your healing journey…
