In the sixth episode of Sessions - a NEW series on the Food Freedom/Body Love podcast where you get to listen in on 1:1 conversations between Jill and those struggling with food, body image, weight, and health - Jill talks with a woman with a long history of disordered and distorted eating. She's worked remarkably hard to move through many of these phases on her own and with therapists.

If you are struggling with food and body image issues, you should reach out to your primary care provider for individual advice before self-diagnosing or treating.
