The Truth About Eating Disorders with Brandy Walker


Listen Later

Brand Walker is an eating disorder survivor and Certified Independent Recovery Coach. She suffered from her own eating disorder, disordered thoughts and behaviors, and body dysmorphic disorder for well over 30 years. Having gone through an extensive recovery process, Brandy is now fully recovered today. She opened Recover You, LLC in 2019 as a part-time practice while still maintaining my 25+ year consulting career, and she is is the process of transitioning to a full-time recovery coaching practice. 

Brandy works from a value-based perspective to help her clients investigate and identify whether their eating disorder behaviors align or misalign with their value system. Some of her core values that helped her lean into and maintain recovery include compassion, empathy, integrity, autonomy, and empowerment. Her deeply knowledgeable insights into the false beliefs many people have about ED are eye opening. Brandy makes an unfortunately taboo topic feel approachable and she brings her expertise to the table without a hint of judgment towards those struggling with disordered behavior. 

Brandy also has personal experience with chronic illness, and we dive into the impact physical health issues can have on our mental and emotional state. I hope this episode provides some insight into the often hidden realities of women struggling with ED, especially if disordered eating and perfectionistic tendencies with diet, exercise, and work are part of your story.
