Breaking the Binge Eating Cycle, with Milda Zolubaite

04/22/25 • 38 min

Ela was flying solo for this episode, speaking with the wonderful Milda Zolubaite, who is a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Disordered Eating Specialist. Having struggled with disordered eating and binge eating herself, Milda is passionate about helping people find a way to break the binge-restrict cycle.

In this episode we talked about

Milda's story and how she found a way to heal her relationship with food and eating

how binge eating is not about lack of willpower

the role of restriction in binge eating

how there is a complex interplay of emotional, environmental and psychological aspects that can influence our food choices and eating behaviours

the amazing 'Break the Binge Cycle Summit' that Milda has organised (see info below)

Break the Binge Cycle Summit: a FREE four day event (28th April - 1st May 2025) to learn practical tools and strategies to help you stop binge eating and find peace with food - with presentations from 29 amazing experts and tons of resources

Milda is an MSc Nutritional therapist and Disordered Eating Specialist and over the last 8 years she has supported hundreds of women and men in finding food and body peace. She's a firm believer that there is no "one size fits all" approach, hence she uses a mix of nutritional, psychological and behavioural interventions to help people reach peace and food freedom. She is also excited to host the Break the Binge Cycle summit at the end of April 2025

Now there's a question! Do you like yourself? Ela and I would say we're both working on it and that's ok. For me, leading with self-compassion has been the game changer.

So many of us engage in negative self talk and thankfully now we know about neural plasticity and the more we challenge these negative thoughts, the more resilience we build up against them.

As promised we want to share a couple of fabulous resources with you to get you on your path to liking yourself:

What Does A Trauma Informed Yoga Class Look Like?

You may have heard the term 'trauma-informed' and been drawn to it, but maybe aren't entirely sure what it means. Maybe you struggle with group exercise as you just find the environment triggering or feel uncomfortable saying no to hands on assists. Maybe you'd like to try more in-person classes but just don't feel safe.

Maybe you're done with fitness instructors and their body shaming cues which always make you feel a little less than.

Maybe you feel entirely disconnected from your body and would like to be able to tune in and offer more kindness to yourself. If any of these statements ring true for you, you are in the right place.

Doris Müllner is a Berlin-based non-diet dietitian and trauma-informed yoga teacher dedicated to supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies—free from weight stigma. With a compassionate, weight-inclusive approach, she guides clients toward intuitive eating, self-trust, and sustainable well-being. Her work centres on body respect, mindfulness, and the belief that health is not determined by size. Through online yoga classes and 1:1 sessions, Doris creates safe spaces for healing and gentle movement, helping individuals move away from diet culture and toward a more liberated, embodied life.

Ela and I know that you will LOVE this conversation and find it as enlightening as we did. Have a listen and drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.
