We’ve been told to white-knuckle our way through cravings, to punish our bodies into submission, and to measure our worth by the scale. We’ve been told that “discipline” is the answer - that if we could just pray harder, try harder, or eat cleaner, we’d finally have peace. But here’s the truth: you were never meant to live in bondage to food or in battle with your body. Your Creator designed your body as a vessel - not an enemy. And when you step into partnership with her, everything changes. That’s why I created the Body Ally™ Movement: to help women of faith silence the food chatter, end the obsession, and finally walk in the freedom they’ve been praying for.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T22:17:09.054403+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350"},"episode":{"title":"Your Overeating or Binging is not Due to Gluttony.","slug":"your-overeating-or-binging-is-not-due-to-gluttony","published_at":"2026-06-23T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350/your-overeating-or-binging-is-not-due-to-gluttony","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-body-ally-podcast-7647350","url":"https://thebodyally.podbean.com/e/your-overeating-or-binging-is-not-due-to-gluttony/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/dzyz6ygy2aaea9ty/riverside_episode_25_your_overeating_or_binging_is_not_due_kerrie_s_studioa3bcj.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Kerrie Nygard explores the deeper reasons behind overeating and binge eating, offering a compassionate and faith-based perspective on struggles that are often misunderstood. Rather than viewing overeating as a lack of willpower or a problem of self-control, Kerrie explains how these behaviors are frequently rooted in biology, unmet emotional needs, stress, and the body's natural survival mechanisms. Drawing from both science and biblical truth, she challenges the shame-based narratives that leave so many people feeling stuck and discouraged. Together, we discuss why labeling ourselves as \"gluttonous\" or \"out of control\" can actually hinder healing, and how learning to listen to and partner with your body creates a pathway toward lasting freedom. Kerrie shares practical insights to help listeners approach food struggles with curiosity, grace, and self-compassion instead of criticism and guilt. Whether you've battled binge eating for years or simply find yourself turning to food for comfort more often than you'd like, this conversation offers hope and a fresh perspective on what true healing can look like. This episode is a reminder that your relationship with food is not a reflection of your worth or your faith. God designed your body with wisdom, and when you learn to understand its needs rather than fight against them, you can begin to experience greater peace, freedom, and wholeness.
