Recover To Flourish | Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

In this solo episode of the Recover to Flourish podcast, I’m tackling some of the common myths about eating disorders that you might have come across. As an eating disorder recovery coach, I know how confusing it can be out there, and I want to clear up the noise.

We’ll chat about what’s fact and what’s fiction, share a few personal stories, and explore how these myths can affect our understanding of eating disorders.

Whether you’re on your own journey or supporting someone else, I hope this episode brings you clarity and compassion. We are in this together!

In this episode, I dive into a topic that's often unspoken about in the wellness world: how orthorexia, an obsession with "healthy" eating, has been rebranded and disguised as a "wellness culture." 

I'll share my own experiences of falling into the trap of wellness trends, how they masked my disordered eating, and the steps I took to break free. 

We’ll explore the fine line between healthy habits and harmful obsession, and I’ll offer insights on how to navigate the wellness world without compromising your recovery. 

Remember, food is not “good” or “bad” — food is just food!

In this episode, I dive into the fascinating and eye-opening history of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment and explore how its findings relate directly to eating disorders today. We’ll discuss the psychological and physical effects of starvation observed during the study, how it parallels the experiences of those struggling with restrictive eating disorders, and what we can learn from it on the road to recovery. 

I break down the experiment’s key takeaways and how understanding them can help us navigate the complexities of recovery. 

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the connection between starvation, the mind, and disordered eating, this episode is for you. 

Trust me, finding out about starvation and its biological impacts of it blew my mind.
