Why do anxiety and unhelpful behaviors often go hand in hand? In this episode, we sit down with Nancy Logue, PhD, a therapist with more than 40 years of experience treating eating disorders, anxiety, and related mental health conditions. Drawing on the evidence-based work of Dr. Jud Brewer, MD, PhD, Nancy explains the neuroscience of anxiety, why it fuels habits and eating disorder behaviors, and how cultivating curiosity, kindness, and self-compassion can help break the cycle.
We discuss practical tools for managing anxious thoughts, simple techniques to calm the nervous system, and a step-by-step approach to changing automatic habits. Whether you’re navigating recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to change a habit, this episode offers actionable insights, hope, and science-backed tools for lasting change.
