   What We Thought in 2020 vs. What We Know Now

   In the first episode of our special "Outweigh: What We Know in 2026" mini-series, Amy and Leanne explore how our understanding of eating disorders and disordered eating has dramatically evolved since the podcast launched in 2020. Amy sets the stage by acknowledging that when Outweigh began, the conversation was primarily focused on behavior—the dieting, the rules, the willpower struggle. While those elements absolutely matter, Leanne reveals what the latest research is now showing us: eating struggles were never just a willpower or behavior problem. Together, they unpack the deeper truth that disordered eating is fundamentally connected to how the brain is wired around stress, emotions, safety, and self-image. Leanne explains why focusing only on food rules or behavior never worked long-term, and shares the hopeful news that if it's wiring, it can be rewired. This episode takes the shame out of the struggle and helps listeners understand that there was never anything wrong with them—they just didn't have the whole picture. Your struggles weren't a lack of willpower; they were a wiring issue that can be addressed with the right tools and understanding.

[…] And then that just ties back into the story we've been telling ourselves about who we are and what we're worth, right? So if we've been telling ourselves that we are only valuable when we are thinner or we are only lovable when we are air quotes perfect or something like that, that story's a lie. Like, so if anybody is hearing that, I mean, there's no judgment, there's no shame, but I just want to reinforce, like, that is a lie. But it's a lie that gets reinforced over and over by the culture that we're living in. And unfortunately, by social media. And so if that is a lie that you picked up, I just want to send you so much love because I picked up the lies too. […]
