259: Why You Can't Fix Your Eating Disorder (And What Actually Works) - with Matty Lansdown
About this episode
Matty Lansdown discusses the emotional roots of eating disorders and why traditional approaches often fail.
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.
