Just an example of the type of feedback it's been getting so far:

Hi Jessica,

Thank you so much for organizing this FoodBodyLove Rally. I was trying to keep up with watching the daily videos because they are so spot on helpful. I just joined VIP so I can relisten to certain talks and also space them out to process them better. I have done Day and Outpatient treatment and am finding the rally to be super complementary to concepts I have learned there. I find the videos are really helping things to sink in and make sense and I’m very encouraged that this will help me turn a corner and go further in my recovery.

Thanks so much for making a difference with all your efforts!

Show 123: Contrary to common belief, eating disorders don't discriminate against gender. Though often overlooked, men are just as able as women to develop any type of eating disorder; Paul Beuttenmuller is living proof. After suffering in silence for many years with exercise addiction, anorexia, and purging behaviors, Paul finally sought treatment through Castlewood Treatment Center in Missouri. Now secure in who he is, Paul shares his experience in recovery from an eating disorder from the male perspective. He talks openly and vulnerably about his struggles with "golden boy syndrome" and his unrelenting compulsions toward perfectionism. No matter who you are, male or female, Paul is proof that recovery is possible if only we lean into the healing process.
