On this episode of the show, we dive into a big question that comes up in recovery—should you go slow and steady, making small, gradual changes? Or should you go big and bold, eating without restriction and letting go of all compensatory behaviors right away?

While every journey is unique, I'll be sharing the powerful scientific evidence behind why going all in is actually the best path to full recovery—and why it's far less scary than it seems. We'll break down the neuroscience of fear, habit formation, and addiction to understand how eating disorders become deeply entrenched—and, more importantly, how to rewire the brain for freedom.

I also share a simple yet powerful three-step process to help you take bold steps in recovery while managing the anxiety that naturally comes with it. If you're ready to step into the driver's seat of your life, this episode is for you!

Welcome to the first episode of the podcast for 2025! Today, I share a highly effective 3-pronged approach to take charge of your recovery that's based in the biopsychosocial model of wellness.

We explore why recovery stalls for so many and how to meet your heightened nutritional needs by recognizing the deep energy deficit you're in, cultivating fierce self-compassion for the messiness of the path, and having a solid social support system to keep you going when things get tough.

This episode is packed with practical tips and the inspiration you need to go big and bold. Listen for strategies to rewire your brain, reclaim your power, and make 2025 the year you achieve full recovery and your life becomes much bigger and more expansive than living in the prison cells of an eating disorder.

On this episode of the show, we talk about the challenges that come up during the holiday season when we're going through recovery, and how stressed out and overwhelmed we can get when things aren't in our control. Unless we have a few tools up our alley, the eating order will do its best to derail our efforts.

I share a powerful tool that is scientifically proven to be one of the best ways to keep moving forward despite fear. I hope it will not only help you at this time, but at all times when your eating disorder tends to clamp down even harder.

I wish you a beautiful holiday season with lots and lots of food and rest, and where your recovery is central to everything you do, so that this time next year will be so different in the best way possible!

This episode of the MMMM podcast is an introduction to the show (although I should've done this on the 1st episode!) I talk about my own story with the eating disorder, what I came to learn through the recovery process, and how my understanding of flourishing is an intrinsic part of helping you get to a place of full recovery.

I also explain the title of the show because it doesn't scream eating disorder recovery! What I don't mention is that this title came to me a long time ago when I considered writing a book but dropped the idea because I figured I have nothing of interest to share. That voice of self-doubt we can always count on said: You haven't run a marathon, you haven't climbed a mountain, what will you write about?

Until I realized many years later that I'd done both with the eating disorder recovery—and I want to help you do the same. So tune in and enjoy!

Today on the show, we talk about half recovery, what it is, why we get stuck there, and how we can embrace full recovery and a full life.

We cover the difference between weight restoration and recovery, why building trust with your body is essential for intuitive eating, and a neat little trick to get you to eat for weight gain even once you're weight restored. Because that's exactly what you need to do.

Tune into the episode and start eating. Because simply listening will not give you your life back. Eating will. And make it fun! Especially given that fun is one of the many things the eating disorder has taken away from you.
