Part of the mission of this podcast was to figure out how to end, or how to recover from, eating disorders. I've spent much of the first 11 episodes just discussing what they are, where they come from, why they are on the rise and factors that influence the development of eating disorders and disordered eating in our society. This week, Elizabeth Rathbun LPC Psyc D joins me on the show to begin the discussion of strategies for recovery.

We dive into mindfulness, strength based approaches and the parts of eating disorders that are incredibly difficult to give up. Elizabeth has been practicing in the field for 15 years. She completed her post doctoral studies at the Yale School of Medicine Stress Center and today runs a private practice in both New Haven and Westport.

One of the most common misconceptions about eating disorders is that it's all about food, weight or body image. People often think that curing somebody of ED is as easy as telling them "to just start eating." In reality, helping someone recover from an eating disorder is SO MUCH MORE.

This week on the podcast, Clinical Psychologist Dr. Laurie Grunebaum joins host Julia Werth RD to discuss the ins and outs - from the root of the disease to steps toward recovery - of eating disorders from the psychology perspective. Laurie has over 25 years of private practice experience with eating disorder patients and is an assistant clinical professor at Yale School of Medicine were she supervises psychology trainees.

Ever gone on a diet? Ever gone on two? Three? Four? Feel like you're always on a diet? Chronic dieting has become normalized in our society today but it can destroy your relationship with food and your body. Dieting behaviors have been shown to be a gateway drug for eating disorder development.

This week on the podcast Beth Rosen RD MS CDN owner of Goodness Gracious Living Nutrition in Southbury, CT joins me (Julia Werth RD) to discuss chronic dieting at length. We touch on everything from how parents can influence a child's relationship with food to how digestive disorders are related to EDs and much, much more.

If you're interested in how to get off the diet cycle, Beth Rosen offers a course called the Inner Girl Power Challenge. Download a free copy here: https://goodnessgraciousliving.com/take-the-challenge/

Anyone who has ever played a sport can probably recite at least five things their coaches said to them. I know I can! I'll never forget that my cross country coach in high school told me running is 97% mental, which is all well and good until you're injured...

Anyway, the things our coaches tell us stick! For better or worse, what they tell us can make a big impact on our lives. This week on the podcast former NCAA athlete and current Cross Country and Track coach from Quinnipiac University Carolyn Robin joins me to discuss all this from the coaches angle. How does she talk to her athletes when they are the most at risk population for eating disorders.
