Period Recovery and Fertility Podcast

Listen Later

Layla is a legal marketing professional who lives in San Diego, CA, with her husband and dog. Her issues with food and exercise began at a young age when she was put on countless diets starting around age 9. Her issues got worse when she started law school when she started restricting food and exercising obsessively as she struggled to cope with the stress of school. These issues were compounded when she received constant praise from others for these unhealthy behaviors. After struggling with body dysmorphia and battling an eating disorder, she has now found body acceptance and food freedom.

In this Episode:

  • How your childhood can impact your relationship with food
  • How to stop the diet/binge eating cycle
  • Why losing weight doesn’t improve your body image
  • Advocating for yourself when doctors push back
  • Finding recovery motivation when getting pregnant isn’t your goal
