Healing Naturally: Binge Eating, Anxiety, and NLP with Ashley James
If we can catch ourselves when our body's just whispering symptoms, when our body's just whispering little symptoms of anxiety, just little or a little tiny headache or a little bit tired in the morning, if you can just like listen to the whispers of your body, those little dashboard lights are going on, not the big red ones, but maybe just a yellow one, just saying: hey, just so you know we're sort of running low on oil.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by binge eating or struggled with anxiety? In this episode of 'Don't Eat Your Feelings with Mindfulbellie', Ellie Rome chats with Ashley James, a podcast host, NLP practitioner, and holistic health coach.

Ashley shares how she transformed her health by focusing on functional nutrition. She started by simply changing what went into her grocery cart, and the results were astonishing. From improved energy levels to better overall health, her experience underscores the power of food as medicine. She also highlights the often-overlooked importance of hydration, recommending extra water intake for every caffeinated or alcoholic drink consumed. But it doesn't stop at nutrition and hydration.
Ashley delves into the world of manifesting—how our thoughts can shape our reality, even if we're not spiritually inclined. She encourages listeners to focus on positive thoughts and be mindful of what they allow into their minds. One of the most compelling parts of the episode is Ashley's discussion on overcoming binge eating and managing anxiety. She introduces tools like delayed gratification and becoming an observer of your own thoughts.
By catching those 'little dashboard lights'—the early signs of stress or unhealthy cravings—you can prevent bigger issues down the line. Ashley also talks about NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), a technique to reprogram your unconscious mind, helping you break free from destructive patterns. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical tips for anyone looking to heal naturally.
Whether you're battling binge eating, anxiety, or just want to improve your overall well-being, Ashley's story offers hope and actionable steps to get there.
