This episode of Redefining Us features Ashlyn Burnett, a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, discussing the deep connection between the nervous system and struggles with food. She explains how polyvagal theory helps us understand how different nervous system states influence eating behaviors, from restriction and obsession to binge eating and disconnection.

Ashlyn highlights how trauma, perfectionism, and control affect eating habits and offers practical tools for nervous system regulation, inner healing, and somatic work. By addressing the root causes of food struggles, she teaches how to develop a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food—free from anxiety, guilt, and shame.

If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of restriction or bingeing, this episode provides insight and strategies for healing. Ashlyn shares resources, including her podcast Heart Led Wellness, a free root cause quiz, and a 12-week coaching program to support listeners in their journey toward food freedom.
