What is a set point weight, and how does one know they're there? What happens if you gain below or above it? And if BMI is BS, why do underweight recoverers need to push up their weight? These are just some of the things I answer in this week's episode on setpoint weight, BMI and weight restoration.

January and the New Year's period is high season for diet culture BS, and can be quite triggering from those attempting recovery from an ED. In this episode I try to offer some helpful reminders and perspectives for how to handle it.

What is self care, and how can you apply it to your everyday life and recovery? In today's episode I talk about how self-care looks different from everyone, steps to take when caring for yourself is difficult and what plants (and The Sims) can teach us about taking care of ourselves.

Christmas can be a difficult time for people with eating disorders. In this episode, I attempt to offer some comfort and practical advice on how to make this time of the year more manageable - or even pleasant.

Is it true that if you've had an eating disorder, you can never fully recover? Will the ED always be there in the background, like a ticking bomb waiting to go off? Today I talk about why I do believe full recovery is possible, coping with vulnerabilities towards relapse, and why sometimes, our vulnerabilities can be strengths (and our suffering can have lessons).

How come some therapists are not aware of certain very basic aspects of recovery, such as extreme hunger, set point weight and metabolism? Are they all just "incompetent"?! Not quite! In this episode I talk about why some therapists lack certain knowledge, and the different psychological trainings and approaches towards eating disorders, hoping to answer the question of WHY your therapist did not tell you that.

This is a bonus episode where I talk about coaching and working with me, as many have requested more information about this!. If you have any further questions or requests, send me an email at [email protected] (check junk inbox if no response) or see letsrecover.co.uk/coaching

What do you do when you are not hungry in recovery? How do you handle eating beyond the point of fullness? Does not feeling hungry mean you don't really need the food? Today I answer these common questions, and more related to lack of hunger and/or appetite in eating disorders (and recovery from them).

What is extreme hunger in recovery, and how do you handle it? In this week's episode I talk about one of my favorite topics, extreme hunger, or reactive hunger (as I call it). I touch upon the psychology and biology behind why you feel so ravenous, the fear of going "from one eating disorder, how to tackle the hunger hands-on, and what treatment professionals often get wrong about this very common phenomena.
