182: She became naturally thin and got off her GLP1: Allison’s Heart Led Eating transformation
Heart Led WellnessShow Notes
Imagine binge eating every single day (while on the maximum dose of a GLP-1) weighing yourself multiple times a day, and living with constant food noise and body shame… then titrating off the medication, ditching the scale, maintaining a 25-pound weight loss, and feeling like a completely different person. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating alum Allison shares how a lifetime of family weight policing, extreme restriction, binge-purge cycles, yo-yo dieting, and a nursing background that pushed her further from her body led her to the moment she decided to draw a line in the sand and become naturally thin instead.
We discuss: Growing up in a household where weight and size are constantly talked about Years of yo-yo dieting, a binge-eating disorder diagnosis, constant food noise More than a year on a max-dose GLP-1 that still didn’t work A pregnancy that brought a 70-pound gain and deep despair The lightning-bolt moment after her mom’s mastectomy, and signing up for Heart Led Eating that same night The real root causes Allison discovered underneath her food/body struggles Titrating off the GLP-1, maintaining the 25-pound loss without it, finally ditching the scale, and clothes from 11 years ago fitting loose again The ONE KEY thing that made the biggest difference in her Heart Led Eating journey

Krista spent years thinking she was basically healed because the big night binges had stopped. She still had food noise, still overate at most meals without fully realizing it, and had mostly accepted that she just carried excess in her legs and assumed that’s just how her body was built. Growing up in a house where someone was always dieting or binging, she used to wish she could be anorexic so she could finally control herself. As a mom of three, the pull to track, volume eat, and “get back on track” after her third baby almost pulled her right back in. In this episode, Krista shares how she became naturally thin, released over 20 pounds without white-knuckling it, and stop treating food and her body like the main project of her life.
