Unlox'U - Eating Psychology Clinic

We combine interventions from psychology, nutrition and neuroscience to address the hidden reasons for food cravings, overeating, and binge eating.

So you can regain control around food and healthy eating comes easily to you. Food issues, including binge eating, emotional eating or any other eating disorders can rarely be addressed through nutritional advice alone. Typically disordered eating of any form has several psychological factors underlying it. Whether the eating is stress-driven, is addressing a need for comfort or control or is responding to past trauma or some other psychological drivers - food issues are best treated through a combination of both nutritional and psychological interventions. Unlox'u - Eating Psychology Clinic uses a range of proven methods such as NLP, CBT, ACT and Mindfulness to address the root causes of your disordered eating, so that you can be free of dieting/food struggles/eating disorders for life.

There was a time when food completely controlled my life.

I was either “being good” or feeling guilty. I thought about food all the time — what I ate, what I shouldn’t eat, what I’d eat later. In fact - I struggled with binge eating until I couldn't fit any of my clothes apart from a scarf that I had.

And I honestly thought I’d never be free.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing my personal recovery story — how I finally stopped binge eating and healed my relationship with food after years of restriction and guilt.

This one’s from the heart 💛

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame… I want you to know it’s possible to feel free again.

But why is that, these foods trigger it and what to do?

Here are the reasons why this happens (and my suggestions to stop it).

And if you want to go deeper, I share even more tools and insights on my podcast 🎙️ Solve the Overeating Puzzle.

If overeating at night or nighttime binge eating is a struggle for you, we need to look at your way of eating during the day.

If you are truly restricting or even feel like you shouldn't be eating so much food ( even if you do eat enough calories) that's enough for the brain to believe that food is scarce.

It will try to compensate at night, when you are tired of making decisions and are at your weakest.

A podcast on exactly this topic is coming up on Tuesday to explain what to do instead, and 5 other reasons why you might feel like: "Why Can I not stop overeating at night, when I can eat perfectly during the day."

Do you eat “perfectly” all day… only to lose control at night?
You’re not weak — your brain is wired this way.

In my new blog, I break down why we overeat at night (restriction, decision fatigue, dopamine, cortisol drops & habit loops) — and share practical tools to stop binge eating after dinner. 🍫🥨

Podcast on this topic is coming up, too.

5 Reasons for overeating and food cravings at nighttime and why binge eating urges are the strongest in the evening.

✨ Thinking about weight loss surgery? ✨

Here’s the truth no one tells you:

👉 Surgery can change your stomach… but it won’t automatically change your relationship with food.
👉 Overeating, binge eating, and emotional eating patterns often show up again — unless you work on the psychology behind it.

In my latest podcast episode on Solve the Overeating Puzzle, I am talking to Lauren Peat who is a Bariatric Nurse and Coach where we dive into:

✔️ What to know before surgery
✔️ How to navigate recovery after surgery
✔️ The mental & emotional side of food — the real key to long-term success

💛 If you’ve ever thought about weight loss surgery (or had it already), this episode will give you tools, clarity and insightful information.

When you want to give up and your brain screams to stop because you don't believe to be able to achieve that goal - whether it's weight loss, getting fit or training for that marathon...

Remember that that survival brain is just trying to protect you from feeling disappointed.

However, you have the power to focus on the next step, to tune the noise out and keep going.

You will be thankful for it, when you are done.

Latest podcast is out now. All about how to keep going when your brain tells you: " What is the point... you can't do it anyway"
