TRIGGER WARNING - Detailed discussion surrounding eating disorders.
In this episode dietitian, Alex Rodriguez, joins me to tell his story as an eating disorder survivor. We talk about the Eating Disorder Voice - the internalised manifestation of thoughts and feelings that drive ED behaviours - and the potentially lethal question "Am I sick enough to need help?".

"Nothing else gives me the same feeling! I've tried other things but always come back to food!" - When food starts to play the roll of 'emotional support' in our lives, things can get complicated. Especially when messages about Intuitive Eating, Unconditional Permission, and Body Acceptance come into play.
Eric Pothen joins me to unpack the difference between healthy distractions, and the kind of dissociation that leads to regret.
