In honor of Eating Disorder Awareness Month, Steph had the pleasure to sit down and chat with Milaena Ferrarese MS, RDN about her experience battling an eating disorder.

Steph and Milaena discuss:

  • How eating disorders can start and why 
  • Drinking alcohol with an eating disorder
  • Dealing with comments from peers: you will never be perfect to everyone 
  • How an eating disorder affects mental health and wellbeing
  • Why being small in size does not correlate with confidence
  • How learning about the body and how it's fueled helped Milaena recover from her eating disorder
