In this episode, Emily shares her experience with Bulimia and navigating a treatment world that reflects a complete misunderstanding as to the honest nature of her suffering. She details the ins and outs of her experience and offers the lesser spoken perspective of someone who’s eating disorder is not food or body centric. Emily is insightful, inspiring, and speaks words the world needs to hear.

In this episode, I had the true joy of speaking with Dr Gennifer Gaudiani, or doctor G. For those who might not know, Dr G offers expert medical care for eating disorders and is deeply passionate about supporting adolescents and adults who have a complicated relationship with food and their body. Dr G founded the Gaudiani Clinic in 2016, which offers unique, expert outpatient eating disorder treatment for disordered eating of all shapes and sizes. On top of this groundbreaking work, Dr G is the renowed author of SICK ENOUGH, a guide to the medical complications of eating disorders, which provides patients, families and treatment providers with easy to understand information on medical issues involved in an eating disorder.

Dr G is a wealth of information and is truly revolutionising the treatment of eating disorders.
