Because of the diet culture we live in, many many individuals are on the spectrum of disordered eating. The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders states that "Eating disorders affect at least 9% of the population worldwide. 9% of the U.S. population, or 28.8 million Americans, will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. Less than 6% of people with eating disorders are medically diagnosed as “underweight.” Disordered eating patterns can affect anyone regardless of what one looks like externally. ​

The difference between disordered eating and eating disorders can be the severity of the habits and patterns with one's food and body. Disordered eating can include:

•  Food restriction
• Binge eating
• Unexplained digestive issues
• Changes in skin and hair Chronic dieting Self-worth connected to body shape and weight
• Preoccupation with body image Excessive or rigid exercise routine
• Calorie counting
• Fear and anxiety about certain foods or food groups
• A rigid approach to eating
• Relying on specific food rituals
• Withdrawing from social activities around food 

In this week’s episode, we're going to go on a journey exploring the 3 Somatic Eating phases to healing disordered eating patterns. 

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here. 

The patterns you have been playing out with your food and body for potentially years and years have become a part of your comfort zone and maybe even your identity. At first, it may feel uncomfortable or disorienting to experiment with new food and body habits. You get to trust that you're always exactly where you're meant to be, learning what you're meant to be learning. Take all the time you need on this healing adventure. 

With Compassion and Empathy,
