(00:03:31) Understanding Eating Disorders as Complex Conditions

(00:04:22) The Stigma and Shame Surrounding Mental Health

(00:13:13) The Biology Behind Eating Disorders

(00:16:40) From Shame to Curiosity: A Transformative Shift

(00:20:10) The Importance of Professional Help and Resources

(00:24:47) Recovery is Possible: A Non-Linear Journey

(00:28:42) Paige's Memoir: "Searching for Full"

(00:32:16) Paige's Work as an Advocate and Connector

Eating disorder recovery keeps failing at the same point, and every relapse feels like proof of weak character. It is not. Willpower was never the mechanism. Genetics, stress physiology, habit, and a nervous system wired by early trauma override logic long before you get to choose.

Paige Gordon lived with bulimia for 22 years, found recovery, and now sits on the board of the National Eating Disorders Association, translating the science for patients and families. After this conversation, self-blame has somewhere else to go: curiosity. 

This episode discusses eating disorders. It is for support and education, not medical advice. If you or someone you love is struggling, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders offers a helpline at 1-866-662-1235. You are not alone.
