On today’s episode we have Molly Carmel an Addictions & Eating Disorder Therapist, founder of Beacon by MC (an organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome emotional eating, food addiction & binge-eating disorders), and author of Breaking up with Sugar. She just launched her own podcast called What You’re Craving where she talks about food, weight, dieting and more. She is a bright light in the dark times that come with the painful cycle of food, shame and guilt. ...The way she shares her experience, strength & hope speaks to our soul. She began her professional path after not being able to find a sustainable solution for her own food addiction. She knows what it’s like to be broken-hearted, afraid, & completely hopeless from the abuse that follows food, weight & diets. She battled eating disorders and addictions for over 20 years, and now she’s on the other side, ferociously waving others in. It wasn’t until she broke free from her abusive relationship with sugar and divorced the diets for good, that she started her own healing path and now she helps others heal their diet drama and trauma. On this Episode: Molly shares her journey into recovery from Food Addiction What in her eating disorder practice when she introduced the concept of Food Addiction? How was Food Addiction received at the International Eating Disorder Conference? What does Diet Culture do to us? What is our Wise Mind?
