In this episode we talk to exercise physiologist and health coach Sarah Liz King about healing your relationship with exercise during eating disorder recovery. Exercise is often seen as a virtue in our society, but for people with an eating disorder exercise can become quite the opposite. It can become excessive and compulsive – to the point that it takes over your life and becomes dangerous for your health. Sarah joins us to share her own experiences of overcoming an eating disorder and how she found peace with her exercise and her body. We also discuss how to safely exercise in eating disorder recovery, how to know when you’re doing too much and what to do about it, the role of social media, and more..

In this episode we discuss trauma and eating disorders with Dr Sophie Reid. Sophie is a clinical psychologist, researcher and co-director of the Birchtree Centre – a specialist centre in trauma, addiction and eating disorders in Sydney. Often underlying an eating disorder is trauma. Trauma can also lead to a range of other mental health conditions. In this episode we discuss why that is, what exactly trauma is, what are the impacts of trauma, how can it be treated, and what are the goals of treatment.

New research suggests that eating disorders are much more common among First Australians, compared to non-indigenous Australians. The University of Western Sydney research shows that 27 per cent of Indigenous adults have an eating disorder, compared to 16 per cent of non-Indigenous adults. There’s a similar story when it comes to young people. We speak to lead researcher, Dr Adam Burt, who is a proud member of the Wiradjuri people from Central New South Wales about his findings.
