Helen Bennett is a food coach, who helps binge eaters, bulimics & "grey area disordered eaters" all over the world, regain control and create a healthy relationship with food again.

Helen has personal experience of being someone who was successful and appeared to be in control of her life, until she was behind closed doors with food, when all control was lost. 

For 20 years Helen followed the cycle of:

• Start with good intentions.
• Lose control and eat to excess. 
• Feel terrible guilt and shame.
• Try to undo the damage (extreme restriction, over exercising, purging)

When the traditional solutions failed her Helen was left more broken and ashamed. 

Changing compulsive eating habits can be harder than quitting alcohol or cigarettes, especially when we know that food is good for us.

In a frank conversation Helen tells Michael Millward 

• about her own relationship with food, 
• how the problems developed
• her catalyst to change
• the lessons she learnt in the process that others may benefit from.
• the physical changes Helen made 
• how she retrained her brain.

The best body for you is a healthy body.

Now enjoying a positive relationship with food Helen reflects on how she has changed and now lives more positively.

Helen also offers advice for people who live or work with someone who may have a negative relationship with food.
