This episode features a deeply personal and candid conversation with Julia Trehane, an eating disorder recovery coach, podcast host, and speaker. Julia shares her journey through 40 years of battling anorexia nervosa, orthorexia, and exercise addiction, ultimately achieving full recovery and dedicating her life to helping others find freedom from eating disorders.

Julia recounts her earliest memories of body image struggles beginning at age three, exacerbated by childhood teasing and a difficult home environment. She describes how, at eight years old, she began restricting food as a coping mechanism to avoid negative emotions and attention. Her ability to hide her disorder continued through adolescence, until it was discovered by her school, leading to forced intervention.
