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.

 

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

  • Root Causes of Eating Disorders (trauma, psychology)
  • Sexual Trauma & Its Impact on Food Behavior
  • Orthorexia & "Healthy Eating" Extremes
  • Defining Eating Disorders (spectrum vs extremes)
  • Biology & Gender Differences in Eating Disorders
  • Healing process & step-by-step framework
