Why Am I Still Struggling With Food? Signs You Might Have More Than One Eating Disorder
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.
CONTENT CAUTIONS:
This episode includes discussion of the following topics:
Eating disorder behaviors including restriction, bingeing, purging, and food avoidance
Co-occurring and misdiagnosed eating disorders
Sensory aversions and food-related trauma
Weight stigma and systemic bias in diagnosis
Neurodivergent experiences related to eating
Please care for yourself while listening. Take breaks as needed and return when you feel ready.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
Why multiple eating disorders can exist at the same time
How eating disorder symptoms often overlap or shift over time
Examples of combinations like ARFID with anorexia, or binge eating with orthorexia
The ways neurodivergence, trauma, and marginalization impact eating behavior
Why traditional recovery approaches may not work for everyone
What it means to build a recovery model that supports your full lived experience
Encouragement for those who feel like their recovery has stalled or isn’t working
How to seek care that addresses the full picture rather than one diagnosis
