Your Science-Backed Roadmap to Overcoming Extreme Hunger and Making Peace with Food
SIGN ME UP!Are you tired of feeling...
❌ Terrified you'll never stop eating once you start?
❌ Afraid you're developing binge eating disorder?
❌ Like you can't trust yourself around any amount of food?
❌ Exhausted from fighting urges to eat more?
❌ Like you're failing at recovery because you can't “just eat normally”?
❌ Like you need to compensate for when you’ve eaten “too much”?
❌ Guilty and ashamed after honoring your hunger?
❌ Consumed by 24/7 food thoughts?
❌ Unable to focus because mental hunger keeps interrupting?
You're
Not Alone.
If you feel trapped in a constant internal battle that consists of thoughts surrounding food, weight, and exercise, I know how you feel.
For almost a decade, my entire life REVOLVED around food: what I was going to eat, when I was going to eat, how much I was going to eat, and what I had to do to "balance" out what I had consumed.
I thought this was as good as my life was going to get – I believed my constant obsession with food meant I had permanently rewired my brain to be addicted food.

Does Mental Hunger Count?
Many people believe "extreme hunger" means feeling physically insatiable, but the reality goes much deeper (no pun intended, lol).
My extreme hunger was mostly mental hunger – the whole experience can best be described as an invisible force that tugged at me until I was so full and nauseous that all I could do was lay on the sofa in agony.
When the bingeing became more frequent and I gained more and more weight (beyond being "weight restored," mind you) I feared that:
👉 I would never stop eating
👉 I was "swinging to the other side" and developing binge-eating disorder
👉 I was "conditioning" myself to be an emotional eater
Whereas it's tempting to believe the "solution" lies somewhere in diet culture, the truth is that your extreme hunger isn't the problem.
Your body has no other agenda than to optimize your chances of survival.
Somewhere between you being born and you reading these words, something caused your body to feel deprived.
The true problem isn't your hunger – it's whatever caused your extreme hunger.
This means that overcoming your food obsession is all about getting to the ROOT CAUSE of your disordered eating habits and pulling out that weed by its roots! 🌱
This self-paced 8-week course pairs science, lived experience, and tools that have helped hundreds of individuals around the globe (including me 🙋‍♀️) escape the hunger tornado and walk the path of freedom. Will you join us?

"Honestly, I was in such a dark place before finding this course. I kept trying to 'eat healthy' but then would end up eating EVERYTHING in sight and feeling awful about myself. I thought I was developing binge eating disorder. I couldn’t restrict anymore and I was terrified of my hunger. So I’m super thankful to Livia creating this course! The way she explains the science behind extreme hunger finally made everything click for me, and allowed me to FULLY honor my extreme hunger for the first time since starting recovery. Now I can actually keep food in my cupboards without living in constant fear I’m going to binge on it."

Course Curriculum
Week 1:Â Limiting Beliefs
Learn how to identify and transform limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from recovery. Through practical exercises, you'll discover how to turn restrictive thoughts into empowering beliefs that support your healing journey.
Week 2: The Biology of Extreme Hunger
A deep dive into the SCIENCE behind extreme hunger and why the body reacts the way it does. You’ll gain an understanding of the brain’s reaction to restriction, how this influences energy balance, and why extreme hunger tends to occur AFTER you’ve gained weight. We’ll examine fascinating scientific studies that illustrate how diet and stress impact cravings and binge eating.
Week 3: Types of Extreme Hunger
Extreme hunger is NOT just physical! You'll learn to identify the four different ways your body communicates hunger (yes, mental hunger counts!) and how to respond to each one. Understanding each type of hunger and its importance will help you honor your body's needs without judgment or shame.
Week 4:Â Rewiring Restriction
Discover over 15 different ways you may be unconsciously restricting and why it's absolutely crucial to eliminate each one. Beyond classic dietary restriction, we dive into comparison, rules around timing, meal plans, volume eating, difficulty spending money, and MORE! You'll learn to identify these sneaky forms of restriction and develop strategies to overcome them.
Week 5: Unrestricted Eating
What does it really mean to eat without restriction? You'll learn exactly what unrestricted eating looks like, why it matters, and how long to practice it to overcome extreme hunger. We'll distinguish between extreme hunger and binge eating disorder, tackle night eating, and explore why you crave so much “junk” food. Plus, you'll learn what foods best support recovery and how to handle binge eating without restriction.
Week 6: Weight Gain
One of the most challenging aspects of recovery! This module dives into everything about weight gain, including BMI myths and goal weights, how to determine your ideal bodyweight, and what "weight restored" really means. You'll learn why extreme hunger often intensifies after weight gain, understand the importance of overshoot, and we'll get real about weight redistribution.
Week 7: Other Bodily Changes
Besides weight gain, SO many changes happen when you honor extreme hunger. You'll learn the science behind digestive issues like bloating, nausea, cramping, and acid reflux, plus practical tips for relief. We'll explore how hormones impact hunger, fullness, metabolism, and mood during recovery. Plus, understand why you might feel super HOT and emotional – it's all part of healing!
Week 8: Becoming Label Free
Because this IS a course created by me, miss Liv Label Free! You'll learn how labels create barriers to full recovery, how to stop feeling guilty about food, and how to release restrictive mindsets. By the end, you'll have the tools to adopt the satisfaction mindset you deserve and create lasting food freedom.

GET ACCESS NOWClient testimonial:Â
"I initially enrolled in Livia’s course because I was experiencing extreme hunger while being 'weight restored.' My treatment team kept telling me I was doing great, but inside I felt hopeless and desperate because I was still thinking about food all the time and was constantly trying to distract myself from the extreme hunger. I just couldn’t do it anymore! This course, with its combination of scientific explanation and Livia's personal experience, made me realize I’m not broken and in fact, my extreme hunger was exactly what my body needed to fully heal. Now, instead of fighting my hunger signals or trying to distract myself from them, I can trust my body and actually live my life. It's incredible to finally have mental space for other things besides food!"

Client testimonial:Â
"I've had anorexia for 37 years…basically my entire adult life. What finally pushed me to get help wasn't hitting rock bottom or a health scare...it was looking at my kids and realizing I couldn't keep doing this. I didn't want them growing up thinking it was normal to be afraid of food or hearing mom talk about needing to 'burn off' dinner. When I found this course, I honestly thought I was too old to change. But understanding WHY I was experiencing extreme hunger after all these years of restriction...it clicked something in my brain. Like, oh, my body's not broken, it's trying to heal! Now I can actually sit and eat dinner with my family without calculating calories in my head. My youngest asked me to get ice cream the other day and I just...did it. No anxiety, no compensating later. Just enjoyed the moment with my kid. If you've been struggling for decades like I have, it's not too late. Your kids deserve a parent who's present, and you deserve to be free from this."
