Guest, Julie LiRocchi, joins Alexis to share her experience with a diagnosis of anorexia, in-patient treatment, and ultimately, recovery- from comments made about her body as a child, to obsession around food and exercise, to her recovery support system, and everything in between. Julie and Alexis discuss eating disorders, diet culture, Health at Every Size, weight stigma in the medical field, and so much more around this important topic.
