As founder of The Binge Cure Method, Dr. Nina guides emotional eaters to create lasting food freedom so they can regain control of their lives and feel good in their bodies. She helps people identify their hidden triggers, stop emotional eating, and heal their relationship with food–all without diet or exercise. Dr. Nina’s personal history with eating disorders fuels her passion for helping others. She once considered herself “the poster child for eating disorders.” After struggling for 15 years, she went to therapy–but she went for anxiety. She never disclosed her disordered relationship with food to her therapist, yet she left therapy completely healed from all eating disorders.How was this possible? Food was never the problem; it was a negative “solution” to the problem. She became a psychotherapist because she wanted to help other people stop the obsession and madness about food, weight, and body image.A psychoanalyst with a doctorate in psychology, she has written five books, including The Binge Cure: 7 Steps to Outsmart Emotional Eating, which has sold over 10,000 copies, and the companion workbook, The Binge Cure Journal.
