Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

Why Am I Still Struggling With Food? Signs You Might Have More Than One Eating Disorder


Listen Later

Still feeling stuck in recovery, even after therapy, nutrition work, or intuitive eating? You are not alone. In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores a common but often overlooked reason why recovery can feel incomplete: the possibility of living with more than one eating disorder at the same time.

Through a trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming lens, Dr. Marianne unpacks how symptoms from anorexia, ARFID, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and orthorexia can overlap. She explains why traditional treatment models often miss the full picture and offers insights for those whose food struggles are complex, ongoing, and still misunderstood. This episode offers clarity, encouragement, and real solutions for those who have been feeling unseen in recovery.

    Please care for yourself while listening. Take breaks as needed and return when you feel ready.
