219. Conquering Anorexia and Advocating for Awareness with Ashlee Thomas


Listen Later

Today I'm joined by Ashlee Thomas, an eating disorder advocate and the co-founder of The Secret Burden. After surviving Anorexia and publicly sharing her recovery journey, Ashlee co-founded The Secret Burden with her mum in hope to start the conversation, challenge the stigma and create change in the eating disorder space.

In today's episode of Holistic Health Radio Ashlee and I discuss:

  • Her own personal journey with developing anorexia and receiving her diagnosis
  • The factors that led to the development of her eating disorder
  • The ups and downs of her recovery journey as she navigated treatment
  • The biggest eating disorder myths and why dispelling them is important -What inspired her advocacy work within the eating disorder space
  • Removing shame and stigma around eating disorders
  • The importance of education around eating disorders within the community
