In this solo episode of Matriarchal Medicine I am sharing my experience of disordered eating. Let this serve as a listener discretion advisory. 

As I have been preparing for my FREE CLASS Staphysagria:Righteous Anger I found that a lot of anger that I have suppressed over the years was resurfacing - and most of it was around my eating disorders since I was a little girl. In this episode I share an intimate look at how I started restricting calories, and yo-yo dieted alongside the adult women in my life from a young age, to eventually having a breast reduction at the age of 12.

After my reduction my eating disorder really took off, with binging and purging, appetite suppressants and eventually stealing phentermine and running for hours on the elliptical. This is something that I realized through the course of this episode that I'm still navigating in my 30's and in the same breathe, I'm meeting my body with more love and gratitude than I ever have before.

I know so much of what I share could very well be your story, or your daughter's experience and that's why I'm sharing - because we all know we lived through it, but not a lot of us are willing to openly admit it and bring it into our consciousness.
