This is a first for Loving Later Life because I have two incredible ladies joining me! We are talking about a topic that is all too common for many people: emotional and binge eating.

Ellen Shuman has worked in the eating disorders field for 30 years as a researcher, director of a Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Center, and as a past President of the Binge Eating Disorder Association. Her favorite role of all however, has been as a “Binge Eating Coach.”

Ellen teaches emotional regulation tools to people who struggle with emotional and binge eating. She is the founder of A Weigh Out (w-e-i-g-h) Life Coaching; Freedom from Emotional Eating, Food & Weight Obsession. Ellen provides individual telephone coaching services to people worldwide.

When it comes to helping people binge eating and compulsively overeating, she brings a unique depth of understanding, empathy, proven and cutting-edge tools to her clients having lived the struggle personally. She shows others once and for all, how to find their hope again.

Ellen was also a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1992, on the show where Oprah spoke openly about her own struggles with emotional eating, for the first time ever. Prior to her work in the Wellness Field, Ellen was a journalist. Her documentaries and news series on Binge Eating Disorder won Emmys and a Clarion Award.

Also joining us is a client of Ellen’s, Kathy Blackburn. Kathy shares vulnerably and beautifully her personal experience in overcoming her challenges with emotional eating.

After listening to this episode, you will have a greater understanding of this all-too-common issue, and if you deal with this, you will also feel understood and hopeful, because there is a way out.

We hope you’ll listen and share to help others…
