On Minnesota Now with this week we're airing Call to Mind, the MPR News initiative fostering new conversations about mental health.An estimated 29 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime. These mental illnesses can be profoundly disruptive to a person's life and psychological wellbeing. And eating disorders can be deadly. Anorexia nervosa has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric condition. Eating disorders strike a wide range of people, but deep-rooted assumptions about who suffers from these diseases often complicate the road to recovery.  This special looks at eating disorders and the challenges of treatment. We'll hear firsthand from people who have experienced these illnesses and experts who treat them.  Join Call to Mind host Kimberly Adams for “Beyond the Mirror: The Challenge of Eating Disorders,” a one-hour broadcast special. 

Abby and Patrick sit down with writer Hilary Plum to discuss her remarkable new book, State Champ. A novel at which the politics of abortion stand at the center, but far from a didactically “political novel,” State Champ gives the three an opportunity to explore a suite of deeply psychoanalytic themes and topics: from the gap between our first-person experiences of our bodies to the claims and restrictions made by others on our bodily autonomy; from the purposes of protest to our motivations for undertaking them; from discourses about “regret” versus certainty and judgement; from the knowledge we anticipate to come from experiences versus things we know already versus things that others think they better; and from sex to eating disorders to humor to running and more. The three also reflect on writing and reading novels in 2025, genre, audiences, and on what communication and psychic change we hope fiction can achieve. Hilary Plum, State Champ: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/state-champ-9781639735433/Hilary's website: http://www.hilaryplum.com/Index for Continuance, a podcast about small press publishing, politics, and practice, hosted by Hilary Plum and Zach Peckham: https://www.csupoetrycenter.com/index-for-continuance-podcastSusan Bordo, “The Body and the Reproduction of Femininity”Have you noticed that Freud is back?

I read Emmeline Clein's book 'Dead Weight' last fall in a flurry of non-fiction, memoir and journalism I was reading around eating disorder and body image. Dead Weight manages to bridge all three. Our conversation explores the cultural perceptions of anorexia and bulimia, the impact of diagnosis on identity, and the importance of pleasure and vitality in context of our perception of what disordered eating is. Dead Weight is a call for solidarity among those affected by eating disorders, which is all of us, no matter our relationship to food.Find Emmeline Clein here and order her book, Dead Weight, hereI've written about ‘eating a lot' here Guacamole FulfillmentAnd how not all poor mental health is ‘bad' - enjoy!Curious about exercise?

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by my incredible client Tara, who opens up about her 30-year journey with anorexia—and what finally helped her step into true freedom.This conversation is a deep, emotional, and honest exploration of what it really takes to recover after decades of struggle, secrecy, and perfectionism. Tara shares how a milestone birthday cracked her open, how trauma shaped her need for control, and how letting go of that control changed everything.

The stunning images and videos that WA cattle farmer Camille McClymont shares with her Instagram followers each week, perfectly capture the epic landscapes, red dust sunsets and daily farm chores of remote station life. Camille and her husband Jack, along with their young son Lachlan, manage some 16,000 head of cattle over many thousands of hectares - and their days are often spent mustering, checking fences and savoring every second of their time together. But Camille's isolated lifestyle wasn't always this idyllic. As a teenager, facing time away from her family's farm at boarding school and grappling with her brother's illness, she became trapped in a cycle of dieting, depression and body dysmorphia. Like so many other young Australians who - often in secret - battle eating disorders that can quickly overwhelm their lives, Camilla faced a terrifying battle with Anorexia Nervosa.***Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast.

Valerie Anne Smith's journey is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of dietary change in overcoming severe health challenges. Diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at 14, Valerie endured a harrowing 40-year battle with multiple mental health diagnoses, including schizoaffective disorder, clinical depression, anxiety, OCD, and body dysmorphia, compounded by extreme physical health issues. Despite numerous interventions, including inpatient treatment, psychiatric medications, and dietetic guidance that focused on high-carb, low-fat diets, her mental and physical health continued to deteriorate, reaching a critical point with a BMI of 11 and a weight under 80 lbs for most of her adult life. In 2018, at the brink of despair and after decades of suffering, Valerie's relentless pursuit of knowledge led her to explore the healing potential of a carnivore diet, focusing on nutrient-dense foods like beef, salt, and water. This radical dietary shift, initially met with personal resistance due to years of conditioned fear and restrictive eating habits, gradually quieted the debilitating mental turmoil and reversed her numerous physical ailments. Six years into her carnivore journey, Valerie has not only achieved complete remission from her mental and physical disorders but has also embraced a fulfilling life as a wife, mother, and health advocate.   In this episode, Dr. Brian, Dr. Tro and Valerie talk about… (00:00) Intro (03:14) Valerie's history of struggling with mental illness, anorexia, and metabolic dysfunction (08:26) The horrible nutrition standards in eating disorder clinics and the nutrition lies plaguing our society in general (10:19) Valerie's upbringing and medical history (11:52) Valerie's frustrating experience with doctors trying to treat her many issues with meds (16:01) Body dysmorphia and the differences between fasting and starving (20:06) The horrible nutrition prescribed by hospitals and served to their patients (23:36) The incredible and heartbreaking story of how Valerie finally discovered the link between diet and mental health (37:36) The evolution of Valerie's diet as she began transitioning to carnivore and how her doctors reacted (45:45) Valerie's blood markers when she ate no meat and how she started to rebuild her body (51:03) How Valerie's family reacted to her new diet and lifestyle (53:08) The many health benefits that Valerie has experienced since becoming carnivore (57:05) Advice for those struggling with anorexia and mental disorders (01:01:31) Factors other than diet that have been HUGE for Valerie   For more information, please see the links below.

Send us a textOh wow - we had Sarah Dosanjh on the pod!!! And how lovely is she? Sarah is a qualified and BACP-accredited psychotherapist specialising in binge eating — not just through training, but lived experience too. After over a decade of struggling with binge eating and bulimia, it was deep inner work that finally transformed her relationship with food. That journey now informs how she supports others.Since publishing I Can't Stop Eating (an Amazon bestseller) in 2020, she's raised awareness through BBC Radio One, Sky's Roundtable, BBC Breakfast, and delivering training for other professionals. Her YouTube videos exploring recovery and self understanding have been viewed over 3 million times.It was a super interesting conversation with someone who has lived experience with an eating disorder and now supports others with her incredible knowledge, insight and authenticity.We talked about Sarah's ED story, what helped her in her recovery, and how recognising impermanence of thoughts and being honest (even if that is super hard) can be incredibly powerful tools for recovery, as well as cats and whether to watch or listen to podcasts ;-) (with 'Find your Strong' you can do either or both!!)We also touched on GLP-1s and how they can be a massive challenge for anyone with disordered eating or an eating disorder - for a more detailed discussion we highly recommend you listen to Sarah and Stefanie's 'Life after Diets' episode on GLP-1sIf you want to find out more about Sarah and her work, here are some links:Her book 'I can't stop eating' (highly recommended for anyone struggling with overeating and bingeing)Her website https://thebingeeatingtherapist.com/Her podcasts (with co-host Stefanie Michele)Life after DietsFeelings and other inconveniences (brand new!!)Her instagram @the_binge_eating_therapist Please reach out if you would like some support with your relationship to food OR movement.

Anorexia isn't just a teen or young adult diagnosis. For many people, it's resurfacing or emerging for the first time in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores the resurgence of anorexia in midlife through a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and sensory-attuned lens. We unpack why these restrictive patterns may return (or appear for the first time), how anorexia often presents differently later in life, and what kind of support can actually help. Whether you are navigating body image distress, a changing identity, hormonal shifts, grief, or caregiving burnout—this conversation will help you feel seen, validated, and not alone.

How to know when it's for health and enjoyment, vs when it's a disorder? I'm stoked to welcome back Marek, a returning guest who joined us last year to talk about his journey out of an eating disorder.Earlier this year we were chatting and he mentioned he'd gotten into distance running, post recovery - and I had questions! Because if you've ever experienced any kind of eating disorder, or disordered eating, sometimes it's hard to know where you stop and the disorder begins. Book a Call with Marcus Here! https://form.jotform.com/240493269367062 Free weekly Strong Not Starving tips and insights ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://www.strongnotstarving.com/snsweeklytipsStrong Not Starving Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongnotstarving?igsh=MTBpbnVna2Nyd3hnMA==Strong Not Starving Youtube: https://youtube.com/@strongnotstarving?si=zzmTveIdGUD0omuMWebsite: www.strongnotstarving.com

Anorexia nervosa ist keine Diät und kein Lifestyle – sie ist eine schwere psychische Erkrankung, die vor allem junge Menschen betrifft. Typisch sind Untergewicht, Angst vor Gewichtszunahme und ein gestörtes Körperbild. Unter der Oberfläche verbirgt sich eine komplexe Kombination aus biologischen, psychologischen und sozialen Faktoren. In dieser Folge klären Franca und Christian auf: Woran erkennt man erste Warnzeichen? Welche körperlichen und psychischen Folgen kann das Krankheitsbild haben? Und welche therapeutischen Wege sind heute wirklich wirksam? Fundiert, differenziert und mit Blick auf das, was Familien, Freund*innen und Betroffene wissen müssen, um rechtzeitig handeln zu können.

Send us a textHave you heard of mindful eating?Maybe you struggle with the idea of eating a piece of chocolate 'mindfully' and perhaps it is even reminiscent of your dieting or disordered eating days, where you savoured each mouthful and ate as slowly as you could to try and convince yourself you were having 'enough' food.But as Ela tells us, mindfulness, mindful eating and movement is about so much more than that.  Listen to the episode and let us know your thoughts.Through the episode, we also refer to Intuitive Eating.   By comparison, Intuitive Eating is a self-care eating framework Intuitive Eating which integrates instinct, emotion, and rational thought and was created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. Intuitive Eating is a weight-inclusive, evidence-based model with over 200 studies to date.** This quote was taken from the Intuitive Eating website.  Click here for more info.

An estimated 29 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder in their lifetime. These mental illnesses can be profoundly disruptive to a person's life and psychological wellbeing. And eating disorders can be deadly. Anorexia nervosa has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric condition. Eating disorders strike a wide range of people, but deep-rooted assumptions about who suffers from these diseases often complicate the road to recovery.  This special looks at eating disorders and the challenges of treatment. We'll hear firsthand from people who have experienced these illnesses and experts who treat them.  Join Call to Mind host Kimberly Adams for “Beyond the Mirror: The Challenge of Eating Disorders,” a one-hour broadcast special. 

Psychiatrist Warren Ward treats patients who are severely ill with eating disorders. Understanding the mystery of human nature has driven him since he was a young doctor.Warren Ward's patients are often critically ill with diseases like anorexia.Warren says asking someone with anorexia to eat is like asking an arachnophobe to put their hand in a jar full of spiders.As a psychiatrist, Warren uses psychotherapy to help his patients.He encourages those with an eating disorder to approach their mental illness as one part of their whole self.His interest in the mystery of human nature informed his study of philosophy, and led him to examine the love lives of philosophers.Lovers of Philosophy is published by Ockham Publishing.This episode of Conversations explores mental illness, bulimia, orthorexia, anorexia, EDs, Eating disorders, disordered eating, how to help a loved one with an eating disorder, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, romance, heartbreak, love life, relationships, inpatient treatment, mental health hospitals, feeding clinics.

Trigger warning: includes frank discussion of eating disorders, body image, and mental health. How do you find laughter in something that nearly kills you? In this episode, comedian and mental health advocate Dave Chawner takes us on a bold, brutally honest - and often hilarious - journey through his experience of living with anorexia. But this isn't your typical “overcoming adversity” tale. Dave doesn't sugarcoat the reality of his eating disorder. He talks openly about how it began not with food, but with control… how it was rewarded before it was recognised… and how, for a long time, he loved it. Through vivid, sometimes shocking, and darkly funny anecdotes, Dave shows how anorexia became both his obsession and his comfort - until it became unbearable. And yet, laughter is what pulled him through. From bingeing under the duvet to bingeing on comedy, Dave found healing not in silence, but in stand-up. His hit Edinburgh show Normally Abnormal turned personal pain into public catharsis, proving that humour can be both a scalpel and a salve. If you've ever struggled with food, control, body image, or just the pressure of being “fine,” this is an episode you need to hear. It's about anorexia, yes - but also about masculinity, identity, recovery, and how comedy can reach where words often fail. If you can relate to Dave's experience and would like more information, he references two websites: Hub of Hope [https://hubofhope.co.uk/] - the UK's largest mental health support directory, and Beat Eating Discorder [https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/]. You can find equivalent resources available in other countries via simple web searches. We always recommend you speak to a GP or health professional if you are personally affected by any of the topics covered in the podcast.

In this episode, I explore suicide prevention not from the edge of crisis, but from the quiet places where meaning begins to erode—often, first thing in the morning. I share a personal reflection on how dopamine, novelty, and connection shape our sense of aliveness, and how a simple morning practice I call CALM—Check in, Activate, Learn, Make connection—can be a lifeline. This isn't a conversation about fixing everything. It's about staying.

In this powerful episode of the Sumud Podcast, we are joined by author, actress, and playwright Najla Said—daughter of the legendary Palestinian intellectual Edward Said. This video is for educational purposes only. It provides historical and political analysis to inform and educate viewers. Through humor, vulnerability, and sharp storytelling, Najla reflects on growing up as an Arab American in New York, her struggles with identity and anorexia, and the pressure of assimilation in the elite white spaces surrounding her. Najla opens up about navigating a world that both shrunk and exoticized her Palestinian identity, her healing journey through Arab culture, hospitality, and expressing love through food, and the personal toll of being one of the only visible Palestinians in spaces like Hollywood and Broadway. From stories of her solo play Palestine to memories of Mahmoud Darwish, she shares the intimate and political threads that shaped her life and work.
