If you’ve ever used food to numb emotions, soothe overstimulation, or escape anxiety—you are not alone. In this powerful interview, I sit down with binge eating recovery coach Lucy Newport to explore the unique challenges highly sensitive people face around food, self-worth, and emotional overwhelm.
Lucy shares her personal 14-year struggle with binge eating and anxiety, and how healing her nervous system and embracing her sensitivity helped her find lasting freedom.
We discuss:
Why highly sensitive people are more prone to binge or emotional eating
The nervous system’s role in food behaviors
Why traditional recovery models often miss the mark for HSPs
Practical, compassionate steps to break free from shame and self-judgment
This conversation is full of wisdom, hope, and gentle encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, ashamed, or exhausted in their relationship with food.
