The Break Up programme by Binge Free Bestie
For the woman who has tried everything

You're not the problem.

Diet culture is.
It's time to break up with it. For good.

You've read the books. Done the therapy. Tried every diet, clean-eating phase, and mindset hack out there. And food is still the loudest voice in your head. That's not a willpower problem. It's a wrong-approach problem.

Binge free in 90 days.

Binge and emotional eating is not a
willpower problem.

Every diet, plan, and mindset hack has obsessed over WHAT you eat. Real, lasting freedom happens when you heal WHY you eat. There are three root causes driving your cycle. None of them are lack of discipline.

01

Physical Restriction

Undereating, irregular eating, skipping meals, and dieting leave your body biologically deprived. It fights back. The binge or over-eating isn't weakness or a character flaw. It's your body gasping for air after too much control.

02

Mental Restriction

Food rules, guilt, shame, and the "I've already ruined it" mentality keep the cycle spinning even when you're eating enough. Your binge foods are on a pedestal in your brain making them irresistible when life gets hard. And it's keeping you stuck.

03

Nervous System & Unmet Emotional Needs

Using food to cope with stress, overwhelm, loneliness, or numbness doesn't mean you're not trying hard enough to "be good". Your nervous system found a strategy to cope with life's curve balls. I'll give you better tools to stay grounded and regulated.

The Food Freedom Method TM
My 3 pillar framework

This is my
Food Freedom MethodTM

  • Built from ten years of clinical practice and my own recovery from Binge Eating Disorder and Body Dysmorphia
  • The only framework that targets all three root causes at once: physical, mental, and emotional
  • When you heal all three, the cycle stops. Not by trying harder. By removing the conditions that created it

You were never out of control. You were just missing the right tools. Let me hand them to you.

They stopped waiting to live their lives.

No before-and-after photos. No weight loss claims. Just real women, real recovery, and the proof in their own words.

"Nic is legit amazing. 100/10 recommend."

"Before this program, I felt isolated, ashamed and trapped. Now, I feel supported and free. The biggest thing I didn't expect was clarity, confidence and control."

"I eliminated 50 years of food noise. Without dieting."

"I've been binge-free for months, and I now have extra mental capacity that I'm using to focus on my family and my grandson. Without the recovery work, this life change might have felt impossible."

What is the Recovery ScoreTM?

I built this because your brain will lie to you. It'll tell you you're not making progress even when you are. The Recovery ScoreTM is a tool I developed to give you real, measurable evidence of your own healing. You take it at key points in the program, and it tracks progress across every area of your life that food has touched. Clarity. Energy. Relationships. Freedom. When the score goes up, the proof is right there in front of you: the tools work. You work.

You've tried harder at this than most people try at anything.

And you're still stuck. Not because something's wrong with you. Because you've been solving the wrong problem.

You've been "good" all day.
Then 9pm hits, the house is quiet, and suddenly you're standing in front of the open pantry eating things you weren't planning to eat. You can't even remember walking in there.

You swear this time will be different.
Sunday night: you clear out the cupboard, write the meal plan, screenshot the "before" photo. By Wednesday you're elbow-deep in the snack drawer asking yourself the question you've asked a thousand times: what is wrong with me?

If there's chocolate in the house, you eat it all.
Not because you wanted that much. Because it was there. Whispering your name from the cupboard like a toxic ex. And you can't relax in your own home until it's gone.

You've hidden the evidence.
Wrappers shoved in the bottom of the bin. Receipts buried under tissues. The drive-thru bag stuffed in the side door of the car before you pull into the driveway. The shame afterwards is louder than the eating ever was.

You're putting your life on hold.
The dress you won't wear yet. The beach holiday you keep postponing. The photos you delete before anyone sees them. The promotion you're "not ready" for. You keep telling yourself it'll all happen once you sort this food thing out. You've been telling yourself that for years.

You don't think you "qualify" for real help.
You're high-functioning. Smart. Successful. People see you holding it all together. They have no idea food is the loudest voice in your head from the moment you wake up. And you've run out of things to try.

If you nodded the whole way down,
The Break Up was built for you.

Not because you're broken. Not because you're weak. Because you've been trying to solve a cycle problem with willpower. That's like bailing out a sinking boat with a teaspoon. No amount of effort will ever be enough, because the problem isn't the effort.

The problem is the approach.

And there's a different one.

What life looks like
after The Break Up.

No more food noise. No more 9pm kitchen spiral. Just you, living your actual life. Here is what the women inside The Break Up consistently describe when they reach the end of the course.

You eat a meal and just... move on.

No mental replay, no guilt spiral, no "I'll start again Monday." Just lunch. Then your afternoon. The food noise that used to follow you everywhere? Gone.

You have your brain space back.

The mental energy you were spending on food cycles, planning, and shame? It's yours again. For your work, your relationships, your actual goals. Women tell me this is the biggest surprise.

You go to events without a plan.

You eat what you want. You leave what you don't. You're present for the dinner, the party, the holiday. Not managing your plate or calculating what you ate earlier.

The shame is gone.

You understand why you ate the way you did. You've stopped blaming yourself for it. That shift, understanding yourself instead of fighting yourself, changes everything downstream.

That block of chocolate can just sit in the pantry.

No more secretive eating. No more hiding in the car. No more foods that feel like they have you in a chokehold. You can keep chocolate in the house and not eat it all in one night. Not because you're white-knuckling it. Because it just doesn't have that power anymore.

Elle

"It was never about the food. I was trying to control the food, when the food was just a symptom. And wow, was that a revelation."

"Either it was a tight leash or it was over-indulgence. There was no in-between. And it was exhausting. Now I can let go, and it is okay."

"I am not blaming myself anymore. The odds had been stacked against me. I was not weak or lacking because I fell victim to what is effectively the world's biggest scam. That realisation changed everything."

"I feel like I have been given a licence to enjoy myself and that is huge, and I love it."

Impactful in every single area of my life
"This might be the best thing I have ever spent money, time or energy on."

Your complete roadmap to
food freedom.

Created by a therapist who lived this.

The Break Up is a powerful blend of psychology, health science, somatic healing, nervous system tools, and intuitive eating practices, all in one place. 90 days to binge-free, and a foundation for food freedom that lasts.

Nic Gaviria holding The Break Up program

Here's exactly what you get inside

Everything you need to go from
white-knuckling it to actually free

My Food Freedom Method. 8 modules built in the exact order your healing needs to happen.
Nothing skipped, nothing rushed.

You'll finally understand why you keep ending up here. It's not weakness. We break the cycle at the root and lay the foundation so everything that follows actually sticks.

So you stop starting over and start moving forward.

Cravings aren't a character flaw. They're communication. You'll learn exactly what yours are telling you, so food stops feeling like the enemy and starts making sense.

So you can respond to your body instead of fighting it.

Physical restriction is fuelling the binge, even if you don't realise it. This module rebuilds your relationship with eating from the ground up, so your body stops panicking and starts trusting you.

So food feels safe again.

This is where we go beneath the surface. You'll identify the emotional triggers that send you to food, and finally meet those needs in ways that actually work.

So you stop numbing and start feeling, without falling apart.

The food rules, the guilt, the all-or-nothing thinking. It's all wired in. This module uses nervous system tools and belief rewriting to loosen the grip of the patterns keeping you stuck.

So the urge loses its power over you.

Imagine eating something you love without the running commentary in your head. This module teaches you to actually taste, enjoy, and feel satisfied, without guilt hijacking every meal.

So eating becomes a pleasure, not a battleground.

Movement that comes from punishment is just another form of restriction. You'll rebuild a relationship with your body and exercise rooted in joy and respect. Not burning off what you ate.

So you can live in your body without being at war with it.

This isn't a program you finish and forget. The final module builds the self-care habits, boundaries, and resilience to keep you free, even when life gets hard again.

So this time, it actually lasts.

Hi, I'm Nic.
I've been exactly where you are.

When I healed my relationship with food, every part of my life changed.

Shame spirals after every meal. Now I order dessert, wake up without a binge hangover, and get on with my big, vibrant life.

Maxed cards on surgery, shakes and Uber Eats. Now Healing gave me the headspace to sort my finances and build my first home. Something that once felt impossible.

Relationships that reflected how little I valued myself. Now Married my soulmate and best friend Juan. My standards changed to match my healed self.

Laughed at when I resigned to build Binge Free Bestie. Now Flown to Hollywood after placing 1st of 16,000 entrepreneurs. Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO) is backing my food freedom empire.

I was also recently late-diagnosed with ADHD at 32. It helped me understand myself even more. The impulsivity, the dopamine-seeking, the all-or-nothing thinking. Not weakness, just a neurodivergent brain doing its thing. If you've wondered whether that's you too, you're in the right place. It turns out my Food Freedom MethodTM works with neurospicy brains too, because it turns out I had one all along.

Food freedom isn't just peace with eating. It's becoming the woman you were always meant to be. This program is everything I wish I'd had. Now it's your fast track.

I back this program because I know it works.

The Binge-Free in 90 Days Guarantee

The Break Up is designed to get you binge-free in your first 90 days. If you show up, do the work, and you're not binge-free by the end of your 90 days, you stay with us for another 90 days, completely free. The coaching, the community, the support. All of it. Because I'm not clocking out on you.

All I ask is that you truly show up for yourself: come to the calls or watch the replays, work through the modules, use the community. If you're doing your part and it's taking a little longer, I will continue showing up for you too. Simple as that.

Real talk. Real answers.

Can I join The Break Up if I have weight loss goals? +

Absolutely, and you wouldn't be alone. Most women who come to The Break Up have weight loss somewhere in their mind. That's not a problem and it doesn't disqualify you at all.

Here's what I ask though: that you put that goal on the back burner while you're working through the programme. Not forever, just for now.

Here's why. The way most of us have pursued weight loss in the past is through restriction. And restriction is one of the primary drivers of binge eating. So if we're trying to heal the binge-restrict cycle while simultaneously trying to eat less, we're working directly against ourselves.

What I've seen happen consistently is this: stop the binges first, learn to eat intuitively, and your body naturally finds a more settled place, without the constant monitoring, the diet rules, or the cycle of losing and regaining. If there's excess weight your body doesn't need, it does tend to shift over time. And because you're not on a diet, it actually stays off.

It's not the quick fix diet culture has sold you. But it's the last thing you'll ever have to do. No more starting over every Monday. No more earning your food. No more living in a body you're at war with.

The weight loss goal can wait. Your peace of mind doesn't have to.

Which option is right for me: The Break Up or Inner Circle? +
The Break Up gives you everything you need to heal: the full curriculum, live bi-weekly coaching calls, monthly Deep Dives, community support with Nic five days a week, and your complimentary 90-day check-in. It's designed to be powerful without extra one-on-one sessions and most women get incredible results with this option.

Inner Circle is for women who want Nic in their corner more personally. You get automatic six months of live access from day one, plus four private 60-75 minute 1:1 sessions with Nic scheduled individually around your life. If you know you thrive with dedicated one-on-one support alongside the group container, Inner Circle is your answer.

Not sure? Book a free 15-min clarity call and Nic will help you figure it out.
What if I slip up during the program? +
Slip-ups are part of healing, and I plan for them. Inside the program you'll have the live coaching calls every second week plus daily unlimited access to Nic in the community for exactly these moments. Plus Binge Free Coach Belle is available 24/7 to support you through wobbles. You're never navigating a hard moment alone. Recovery is not linear. I don't expect perfection. I help you build resilience while you show up for yourself.
When do I start and how does it work? +
New cohorts begin the first week of every month. Join any time and your 90 days of live coaching begins from the onboarding call date (first week of the month).

Calls run twice a week at two time slots: 12pm NZST and 6pm NZST, so wherever you are in the world, there is always a time that works for your life. Can't make a call live? All sessions are recorded.
How long do I have access to the programme? +
You get 90 days of live coaching (the calls, community, and Nic in the forum) from your onboarding call date. If you've genuinely engaged and aren't binge-free at the 90-day mark, Nic will extend your live access to six months total at no extra cost.

The 200-page handbook, module worksheets, Binge Free Coach Belle, the Food Freedom Vault, and the Mindfulness Library are yours to keep forever, regardless of how long you were in the live container.
Can I reach Nic directly? +
Yes. Nic is in the community forum Monday to Friday, answering questions and supporting members through wobbles and wins. You can tag her directly in any post. Inner Circle members also get 4 private 60-75 minute 1:1 sessions with Nic scheduled individually across their six months. And everyone has 24/7 access to Belle, Nic's AI coach, for any moment you need support between touchpoints.
I've tried programs before and they didn't work. Why is this different? +
That's the most valid question you can ask. Most programs address what you eat. The Break Up addresses why you eat: the physical restriction, the mental food rules, and the nervous system patterns that drive the cycle. It's also led by a registered counsellor with lived experience of binge eating disorder and bariatric surgery. Not a coach selling a food plan.. The approach is fundamentally different. Sophia noticed a change in 10 days. That's not magic. That's what happens when you treat the root cause instead of the symptom.
Not sure which option is right? Can I talk to Nic first? +
Absolutely. Book a free 15-minute clarity call with Nic here She'll help you figure out whether The Break Up or Inner Circle is the right fit, and answer any questions you have before you commit. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Your gut already knows.
This is the one.

The cycle doesn't break itself. But with the right tools, the right support, and 90 days of doing it differently? It absolutely can. That's exactly what The Break Up is for. And this is your moment to start.
