Hope is often mistaken for a feeling of optimism, but for many people it looks much quieter: the decision to stay alive and keep going even when nothing feels certain. In this episode, we explore how hope is less about feeling inspired and more about choosing, day after day, to remain open to the possibility that life can change. Sometimes the most meaningful act is not thriving—it's surviving.Key TakeawaysHope is not a mood; it is a decision.You do not need certainty to keep going.Survival is a meaningful achievement.Choosing “one more day” is an act of courage.Staying alive preserves the possibility of connection, healing, and purpose.Quiet hope often sounds like: “I'm not done yet.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan       Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :)      Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol.       Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc)       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body.

What actually helps someone recover from anorexia? After developing anorexia as a teenager, Tiffany Luxford spent approximately two years receiving inpatient treatment. Today, she is fully recovered and using her lived experience to improve how eating disorders are understood and supported. In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Tiffany joins Dr Marianne Trent to share what genuinely helped her recover, what she wishes had been different during treatment, and why compassion, connection and feeling understood matter. Together, they explore the emotional distress behind eating disorders, the role of trauma, control and self-criticism, and why separating the person from the eating disorder can help reduce shame and blame. Whether you have experienced an eating disorder, are supporting someone through recovery or work within mental health services, this conversation offers valuable insight and hope. #AnorexiaRecovery #EatingDisorderRecovery #PsychologyActually Highlights 00:00 Understanding the person behind the eating disorder 01:02 Avoiding triggering imagery and numbers 02:43 Eating disorders are more than physical symptoms 03:31 Understanding distress and control 05:03 Loving food while living with anorexia 06:19 Tiffany's experience of anorexia and inpatient treatment 08:59 How compassion can support recovery 09:14 Separating the person from the eating disorder 10:36 What Tiffany needed during treatment 12:35 The role of trauma 13:33 What full recovery feels like 14:53 Can eating disorder thoughts return? 16:16 Rebuilding a healthier relationship with exercise 17:14 Moving beyond comparison 19:38 Externalising the eating disorder 22:35 Reducing shame and self-blame 23:41 The value of lived experience 25:45 Why recovery stories matter 28:21 Tiffany's TEDx talk and The Recovery Wave 30:07 Final thoughts Links:

What happens after you finish the thing that gave your life structure and meaning? Whether it's writing a book, raising kids, winning a championship, or completing a major goal, the end of one chapter often leaves us feeling empty. In this episode, I explore why that emptiness isn't a sign that something is wrong, but a signal that you're ready to be challenged by life in a new way.In this episode, I discuss:Why achievement often leads to a surprising sense of emptinessThe difference between rest, recovery, and restlessnessThe psychology of the “arrival fallacy”Why the brain thrives on pursuit more than possessionHow purpose gives shape to our discomfortWhy misery is trying to recreate the pastHow to become “unhappy in a whole new way”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

In this episode, I explore a simple but powerful idea: most of us aren't actually chasing happiness — we're trying to feel less miserable. When happiness becomes the goal, we overthink, compare, and pressure ourselves to feel a certain way. But when we shift the focus to reducing unnecessary suffering, life becomes more manageable, grounded, and sustainable.Instead of asking “How do I feel amazing?” we ask, “What's making life heavier than it needs to be?”Key takeaways:Why pursuing happiness can increase rumination and pressureHow high emotional expectations make normal days feel like failuresThe difference between happiness (a spike) and contentment (a baseline)How reducing cognitive load lowers day-to-day miseryTurning rumination into small, actionable movementFocusing on 1–3 priorities instead of overwhelming to-do listsChoosing meaningful connection over constant self-optimizationLowering the goal from “feel great” to “feel manageable”This episode isn't about forced positivity. It's about relief, proportion, and creating a life that feels lighter — not perfect.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Today I am here with Kathryn Nicolai, creator of the wonderful sleep podcast Nothing Much Happens, the amazing mindfulness podcast First This, and the lively and delightful podcast Stories from the Village of Nothing Much. Kathryn'new book, On the Street Where You Live, comes out next month, in July 2026. Here is her Instagram, a great place to see what's going on with Kathryn and her creations!Kathryn is intentionally cultivating joy. She began drawing earlier this year, despite having aphantasia (lack of visual imagery – no sound, colours, shapes or forms) and is loving the playful creativity. She's taking online courses and filling her walls with new designs.In our conversation today, Kathryn reflects on letting go of perfectionism and claiming the identity of ‘writer' simply because she chooses to.How she got hereKathryn once believed she wasn't creative, surrounded by artistic friends and family. Over time she learned creativity is a practice. She's now 400+ episodes into Nothing Much Happens, on her second book and running three podcasts.Growing up in Flint, Michigan, she told herself bedtime stories from the age of four. After 20 years teaching yoga/meditation, storytelling was a more accessible way to help people rest and regulate.Kathryn has known sound designer Bob Wittersheim for some time and when she started working with him on Nothing Much Happens, he worked for free. Kathryn describes his compassionate and protective energy and credits him with grounding her.Characters and perspectivesKathryn realised early on that all her stories lived in the same universe. Writing in first person helps listeners to ‘pull the story around them' and she includes a broad range of representative characters. Her upcoming book expands this catalogue of characters. She is now experimenting with a more eagle‑eyed view of the village while keeping her intuitive, centered style. She wants to stay inspired and genuine.InclusivityAs a queer woman, Kathryn values creating spaces where everyone feels safe. We discuss the joy of stories where characters live freely and fully.Anorexia and OrthorexiaKathryn speaks openly about her eating disorders, now seven years into recovery. She reflects on the years lost and the creativity gained since healing; she wants to model recovery.Recovery and identityHere is a lovely moment in our conversation – I share how First This supported me during a period of reclaiming my name and intuition. Kathryn emphasises that creators often help people they'll never meet. She quotes the Regina Spektor song ‘Better', with the line ‘If you never say your name out loud to anyone they can never ever call you by it'. Kathryn describes bodily awareness, connection, her dog beside her, and the joy of this conversation as what feels present for her in this moment.I'm filled with gratitude, to have had this conversation and to be able to bring it to you.Invitations to Play with Kay* I'm offering online workshops throughout 2026, and an in-person retreat here in Maine in September - see more at https://kaylockkolp.com/events* If community is something you value, consider joining Dreamers & Doers.

In this episode, I reflect on James Baldwin's powerful insight that “a human being can only be saved by another human being,” and why 4 a.m. can be one of the most dangerous times to be alone with our thoughts. I explore how love, connection, and even the quiet presence of others can help us recognize that our lives are deeply intertwined—and that simply staying alive may be the greatest gift we give to the people around us.Why emotional pain often feels most overwhelming in the middle of the nightWhat Baldwin meant by “the miracle of love”Why drugs, alcohol, work, and distraction can soothe us but cannot truly save usHow Martin Short's grandchildren gave him a reason to keep goingThe ripple effect of our lives on partners, family, friends, and strangersHow we influence one another through our habits, consistency, and simple presencePractical questions to ask yourself when you're struggling at 4 a.m.Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Livia Sara is joined by Maddie, a psychology student, content creator, and face behind the Instagram account @love.madelaine_ where she shares her journey through OCD and eating disorder recovery, autism discovery, and embracing her authentic identity. In this episode, we explore the overlap between autism, OCD, orthorexia, anorexia, and why so many neurodivergent people struggle to find support that truly fits. Maddie reflects on her diagnoses of ARFID, anorexia, and OCD, and how her autism discovery was the missing piece that transformed her healing process. This episode offers a fresh perspective on healing, self-understanding, and creating a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, supporting someone with an eating disorder, or questioning whether traditional recovery approaches are working for you, this episode is for you! Key Topics Discussed: Maddie's journey through anorexia, orthorexia, OCD, and autism discovery Why neurodivergent people often feel misunderstood in traditional eating disorder treatment Why embracing autistic traits is the key to freedom The importance of autonomy, self-trust, and individualized support Why recovery is not about fixing yourself, but about discovering who you truly are

If eating still feels overwhelming after years of living with anorexia or bulimia, you're not alone. Long-term eating disorders often make every meal feel mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting, even when you're deeply committed to recovery. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, eating disorder therapist Dr. Marianne Miller shares five practical, compassionate strategies to help reduce eating overwhelm, manage food anxiety, and make meals feel more manageable. If you're recovering from anorexia, bulimia, or another long-term restrictive eating disorder, this episode offers realistic tools that support sustainable recovery instead of perfection. Why Eating Can Still Feel So Hard Many people believe eating should feel easy after years of recovery work. In reality, long-term anorexia and bulimia often leave behind deeply ingrained patterns involving the brain, nervous system, and learned responses to food. Dr. Marianne explains why eating can continue to feel overwhelming long after someone decides they want recovery, and why those struggles do not mean you're failing or doing recovery incorrectly. Five Practical Ways to Reduce Eating Overwhelm Dr. Marianne walks through five strategies that can help make meals feel more manageable. She discusses how breaking eating into smaller, achievable steps can reduce overwhelm, why simplifying food decisions conserves mental energy, and how shifting your definition of success away from comfort can support long-term healing. She also explores ways to support your nervous system before and during meals and explains why consistency matters more than striving for the perfect recovery day. Recovery Is Built One Meal at a Time When you've lived with an eating disorder for years, it's easy to believe that every difficult meal means you're moving backward. This episode offers a different perspective. Recovery rarely happens through dramatic breakthroughs. More often, it develops through ordinary moments of choosing nourishment, returning after setbacks, and continuing to practice recovery skills even when eating still feels difficult. Those small decisions add up over time and become the foundation for lasting change. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for adults recovering from anorexia, bulimia, chronic restrictive eating, or long-term eating disorders who continue to feel overwhelmed by meals. It's also helpful for family members, loved ones, and clinicians who want to better understand why eating can remain challenging even after years of treatment and recovery work.

In this episode, I explore why failure is not something to hide, but something to study, share, and even celebrate. Drawing inspiration from the “Flops” exhibition at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, I look at how psychology, religion, science, and art all reveal the same truth: my mistakes are often the very things that shape my character, deepen my relationships, and point me toward a more meaningful life.Why failed products like BIC for Her and New Coke can teach us about resilienceThe psychology of growth mindset, self-compassion, and learning from mistakesHow traditions like Kintsugi and teshuvah honor repair over perfectionStories of famous failures from Thomas Edison to J.K.

Last year, I received an email from a lovely individual inquiring about coaching opportunities. I asked if she could briefly share her story and some of her goals for coaching. In true autistic style, she replied with what she described as “a novel to explain herself, lol.” I loved reading this “novel” because, as with most emails I receive, I resonated with so much of her lived experience. In her email, this individual shared how she had struggled with disordered eating for most of her life. At age 46, she was diagnosed with autism, which she said was “life-changing in ways I can't even begin to describe.” Over the years, she'd tried countless “treatments” for her eating challenges – but as I'm sure you can already guess, these attempts had not only failed, but led to feelings of hopelessness. The reason I reflect on this correspondence is because there was one sentence in her email that I immediately thought of after I recorded today's podcast episode. She wrote that she'd been scouring the internet for links between autism and overeating, but ended up finding very little that resonated. “It's all about ARFID and beige food and anorexia,” she wrote. And she's right; there is very little out there on the connection between autism and binge eating, which is why I am BEYOND excited to be diving into this conversation with my good friend Kory Andreas on the podcast today! After we talk about the lost generation of autistic relatives and how our grandmas are basically the same person, Kory opens up about her MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) which is super common in neurodivergent people. Kory also talks about her experience with binge eating, learning that it was rooted in being neurodivergent, and how starting ADHD medication practically made all her binge urges disappear overnight. This was such a high energy conversation (I mean, just put two neurodivergent people in a room together, right?) so I can't wait for you to listen!

Anorexia nervosa has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric illness, yet effective biological treatments remain limited. For many people living with the condition, even after successful weight normalization, persistent psychological symptoms, including obsessive thoughts about food, shape, and weight, continue to drive relapse.In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Guido Frank, Professor of Psychiatry at UC San Diego with over 25 years of experience in eating disorder treatment, to discuss results from the first-ever clinical trial of ketogenic therapy in anorexia nervosa.This 14-week supervised feasibility trial enrolled 22 individuals with weight-normalized anorexia nervosa. Among the 18 study completers:✅ 72% scored in the recovered range on eating disorder assessments, no longer meeting the criteria for an anorexia nervosa diagnosis✅ 100% of study completers saw improvements in depression symptoms, with 72% scoring within the normal range.✅ Participants did not experience significant weight change throughout the studyIn this conversation, Dr. Frank also discusses:What led a self-described skeptic to investigate ketogenic therapy for anorexia nervosaHow the study was structured, who it enrolled, and what the weekly supervision looked likeWhat participants experienced as symptoms improved, including reports of mental clarity and reliefHow weight remained stable throughout the ketogenic interventionThe pushback from colleagues and how to engage with the skepticismWhat comes next, including ongoing brain imaging research and plans for a randomized controlled trialEarly observations in bulimia nervosa and what they may suggest about metabolic factors in eating disordersThis trial demonstrated that ketogenic therapy is well tolerated by this population. Larger, controlled studies are needed to better evaluate efficacy.This intervention was conducted under close supervision by a licensed eating disorder specialist, with weekly check-ins, ketone monitoring, and regular psychiatric assessments. Anyone interested in exploring this approach should do so under close medical supervision and in partnership with their care team. If you or someone you care for is living with anorexia nervosa, please speak with your healthcare provider before making any changes.

Most people aren't struggling with food, their weight, or habits because they lack willpower or nutrition knowledge.  They're struggling because years of dieting, weight stigma, body shame, and chronic stress have created a nervous system that no longer feels safe around food. True healing requires more than changing what you eat — it requires changing your relationship with food, your body, and how you talk to yourself.  Today's episode addresses the connection between GLP-1 use and eating disorders, why it's happening to some but not all, and how GLP-1's might actually help you HEAL parts of your diet trauma.  Keep listening to learn more.  And when you're ready to explore a customized approach to not just losing weight, but keeping it off long term, I'd love to explore if my 4-part process is right for you.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  Is your metabolism traumatized?  If you've experienced emotional, verbal, or spiritual abuse, the answer is likely 'yes.' This is a critical piece when it comes to weight loss, especially when you're 40+, because abuse triggers a cascade of repercussions in the body.  Learn more with my all new, free workshop: Your Metabolism Isn't Broken — It's Traumatized.  Get all the details here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - GLP1s and Anorexia(00:07:45) - Weight Loss on a GLP1 peptide(00:15:26) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle

In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

What happens when eating disorder recovery starts colliding with nervous system overwhelm? In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores one of the most confusing parts of restrictive eating disorder recovery: learning how to tell the difference between genuine nervous system dysregulation and eating disorder avoidance disguised as self-protection. Many people with anorexia, ARFID, orthorexia, chronic dieting histories, OCD, autism, ADHD, trauma, or sensory processing challenges struggle to know when they truly need accommodations and support versus when the eating disorder is quietly shrinking their world through avoidance. This episode explores why restrictive eating disorders often borrow the language of nervous system regulation, why food anxiety does not always mean danger, and why recovery sometimes requires gentle exposure to discomfort instead of waiting to feel completely “safe” before eating. When “Listening to Your Body” Gets Complicated in Eating Disorder Recovery Social media often promotes messages about protecting your peace, avoiding discomfort, and never forcing yourself into situations that feel activating. But what happens when restrictive eating disorders begin using that language to reinforce food fear, rigidity, and avoidance? In this episode, Dr. Marianne talks about: Anxiety Around Eating and Restrictive Eating Disorders Why anxiety during meals does not automatically mean you are unsafe. How starvation and undernourishment intensify emotional dysregulation, obsessive thinking, rigidity, panic, sensory sensitivity, and distress tolerance difficulties. Why many people get trapped waiting to feel calm enough to eat while restriction continues worsening nervous system symptoms. ARFID, Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Food Struggles Why neurodivergent people often need both accommodations and recovery support at the same time. How sensory overwhelm, executive functioning challenges, contamination fears, and burnout can complicate restrictive eating disorder recovery. Why recovery does not need to become harsh or punishing in order to challenge avoidance patterns. Restrictive Eating Disorders and the “Shrinking Life” Pattern How anorexia, ARFID, and restrictive eating disorders gradually narrow food choices, social experiences, spontaneity, travel, and daily functioning. Why temporary anxiety relief from food avoidance can increase long-term nervous system sensitivity. How to begin recognizing when the eating disorder is quietly gaining more control over your life. Neurodivergent-Affirming Support for ARFID and Selective Eating Dr. Marianne also shares more about her ARFID and selective eating course, which explores restrictive eating through a neurodivergent-affirming lens. The course addresses sensory sensitivities, executive functioning challenges, nervous system regulation, autonomy needs, accommodations, and gentle food expansion without shame-based recovery approaches.

In this episode of the Mind the Kids, Clara Faria speaks with Professor Nathalie Auger and Professor Howard Steiger about new research exploring how maternal anorexia nervosa may influence children's mental health and neurodevelopment.Using a large population-based cohort, the study examines links between maternal eating disorders and outcomes such as anorexia nervosa, attentional difficulties, and other psychiatric risks in offspring. The discussion highlights the role of genetic vulnerability, environmental exposure, and epigenetic mechanisms, offering a nuanced understanding of how risk is transmitted across generations.The episode also considers important clinical implications, including the benefits of early treatment, the importance of reducing stigma, and how supporting maternal mental health can improve outcomes for future generations.A must-listen for professionals in child and adolescent mental health, psychiatry, psychology, and anyone interested in eating disorders and developmental research.Read the CAMH journal paper ‘Maternal anorexia nervosa and risk of mental and neurodevelopmental morbidity in offspring'Sam Amar, Gabriel Côté-Corriveau, Mimi Israël, Howard Steiger, Nancy Low, Nicholas Chadi, Émilie Brousseau, Nahantara Lafleur, Nathalie AugerFirst published: 02 December 2025 https://doi.org/10.1111/camh.70051Get a free CPD/CME certificate for listening to this podcast by registering for a FREE ACAMH Learn account at https://bit.ly/4fF4BBWVisit https://www.acamh.orgFacebook and LinkedIn search / ACAMHInstagram https://www.instagram.com/assoc.camhBluesky https://bsky.app/profile/acamh.bsky.socialX https://x.com/acamh

Anorexia isn't just about food, weight, or body image. In this next thought clip, I revisit a conversation with Sophie Anderson about the deeper reality behind eating disorders, trauma, control, anxiety, family dynamics, and the hidden emotional pain that so often sits underneath them. My guest speaks with remarkable honesty about living with anorexia, the dopamine cycle of restriction, the terror around food, and the complicated comfort the illness can create. This is a conversation about survival, coping mechanisms, and what recovery really asks of someone when the illness has become part of how they navigate the world.We also explore the connection between anorexia and addiction, why eating disorders are often misunderstood, and how social media can influence vulnerability without being the full explanation. There's a powerful discussion around emotional neglect, safety, codependency, hospitalisation, and the way trauma can quietly shape behaviour long before anyone notices the symptoms. Rather than reducing anorexia to vanity or “control issues”, this episode looks at the complexity behind the condition and why simplistic narratives can stop people from truly understanding it.If you or someone you love has struggled with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, addiction, anxiety, or mental health challenges, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and a perspective rarely heard in mainstream discussions around eating disorders.Listen or watch THE FULL EPISODEYouTube - https://bit.ly/4jbvZdoSpotify - https://bit.ly/4air4TLApple - https://apple.co/3PajZvQAbout the “THOUGHT” series -Every other Monday at 5 PM, I'll bring you a quick ‘thought'—a powerful moment from previous episodes designed to kickstart your week with insight, motivation, and connection.

Why do so many people with anorexia go undiagnosed simply because of their body size? In this episode of the Dr. Marianne-Land podcast, eating disorder therapist Dr. Marianne Miller explores anorexia in higher-weight bodies, restrictive eating disorders, weight bias in healthcare, and the dangerous myths surrounding “atypical anorexia.” This conversation unpacks how restrictive eating can become normalized, praised, or completely overlooked when someone does not fit the stereotype of anorexia. What Is Atypical Anorexia? Dr. Marianne explains why the term “atypical anorexia” can be misleading and why anorexia is not defined by weight alone. She explores how food restriction, fear around eating, compulsive control, and intense preoccupation with food can occur in bodies of all sizes. The episode also examines why so many people struggle to recognize their own eating disorder symptoms when culture continually tells them they are “healthy” or “doing well.” Restrictive Eating Disorders in Higher-Weight Bodies This episode takes a deeper look at hidden restriction, chronic dieting, skipped meals, rigid food rules, and the restrictive eating spectrum. Dr. Marianne discusses how eating disorders in larger bodies are frequently missed by healthcare providers, loved ones, and even the individuals experiencing them. She also explores how praise for weight loss can reinforce dangerous patterns and delay support. Medical Risks of Anorexia in Larger Bodies Anorexia in higher-weight bodies carries real psychological and medical risks. Dr. Marianne explains how undernourishment affects the body regardless of size, including impacts on heart rate, hormones, cognition, bone health, anxiety, and nervous system functioning. This episode challenges the harmful assumption that someone must appear underweight before restriction becomes medically serious. Weight Bias, Misdiagnosis, & Eating Disorder Stigma Weight stigma and anti-fat bias continue to shape eating disorder treatment and diagnosis. Dr. Marianne explores how medical gaslighting, diet culture, and stereotypes about anorexia contribute to delayed diagnosis and inadequate care. She also discusses how intersectionality, neurodivergence, disability, race, and gender identity can further complicate recognition and access to support. Neurodivergence, Restriction, & Eating Disorders This episode also examines how sensory sensitivities, executive functioning differences, autism, ADHD, and nervous system regulation can influence eating patterns and restrictive behaviors. Dr. Marianne discusses why neurodivergent people may experience eating disorders differently and why individualized, affirming care matters. Eating Disorder Recovery Without Stereotypes Recovery begins with recognizing that eating disorders do not have one look. This conversation encourages listeners to move away from appearance-based assumptions and toward a more nuanced understanding of anorexia, restrictive eating, and body diversity. Dr. Marianne also shares why support matters before symptoms escalate and why people in higher-weight bodies deserve compassionate, specialized eating disorder care.

Don Blackwell is a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. He is and, for the past 20 years, has been an outspoken advocate on mental health issues within and outside the legal profession, which has made him a sought after speaker, and a regular contributor on webinars and podcasts tackling this increasingly critical subject matter.Don has written and spoken extensively on the need for a heightened degree of civility among lawyers, which he has dubbed “Compassionate Professionalism,” and, more generally, on the need for greater understanding, vulnerability, and empathy in our day-to-day interactions with one another.Don's daughter, Ashley, courageously fought and won a decade long battle with anorexia, a battle that inspired Don to become a tireless advocate and spokesperson in the eating disorder community. In 2020, Don organized the Legacy of Hope Summit with two dozen of the leading eating disorder experts in the world.A year later that Summit resulted in the publication of the first consensus-based Report and Recommendations on eating disorders in the half-century marked by Karen Carpenter's death in 1982 – a report that garnered the endorsement of more than 120 eating disorder practitioners and persons with lived experience across the country.Don also is the author of “Dear Ashley ...” - A Father's Reflections and Letters to His Daughter on Life, Love and Hope (2013), and, more recently, of Retune Your Heart – Finding the ‘”Extra” in the Ordinariness of Everyday Life, and its companion journal, The Playbook of Your Childhood Heart (2025).LinkedIn subscribers likely also know Don for his #MondayMusings and #ToDoListFridays.Don.Blackwell@bowmanandbrooke.com www.retuneyourheart.comwww.donblackwell.wordpress.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/don-blackwell-bb6361b/ on LinkedIn@retuneyourheart on InstagramRecorded at ROC Vox Recording & Production Studios, Rochester, NY  rocvox.com

What do you do when depression and burnout disconnect you from the very things that once made you feel alive? In this episode, I explore why progress alone isn't enough—we need rest, play, and purpose to reconnect with ourselves and remember what makes life worth living.Key Takeaways:Depression often shows up as anhedonia—the inability to feel pleasure from things you still care about.Like my dog Mila, we can keep “walking” through life but still need play to avoid becoming restless and emotionally depleted.Action often comes before motivation; reconnecting starts with small acts of contact.A sustainable life requires a balance of rest, play, and purpose.Hope can sound as simple as: “I want to be here long enough to find out.”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

In this moving episode of Behind the Bite, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Katie Kiliszewsk to explore a deeply personal journey through the shadows of anorexia and substance abuse. Katie opens up about the childhood roots of her eating disorder—from being teased by neighborhood kids to the damaging influence of a sports coach—and the sixteen-year battle that followed. They discuss the "all-in" mentality required for true healing, the difficult transition from using exercise as an escape to using it as a source of joy, and how motherhood became the ultimate catalyst for her recovery. This episode is a powerful testament to the fact that no matter how long the struggle lasts, there is always light on the other side.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Heidi McLachlan to discuss the devastating impact of being labeled "chronic" by the very experts meant to provide hope. Heidi shares her two-decade-long journey with anorexia, which began as a search for identity and quickly became a "safety net" that trapped her in a cycle of hospitalizations and despair. After years of being told that full recovery was impossible and that she simply had to "manage" her symptoms, Heidi reached a breaking point during her journey through motherhood. By shifting her perspective from being a "broken patient" to an empowered individual, and utilizing nervous system regulation and somatic work, Heidi finally found the sustainable recovery she was told would never happen. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has been told they are a "lost cause" and is seeking proof that healing is always possible.

The term "self-harm" is an umbrella term, encompassing a broad range of behaviors, under which is included substance abuse and misuse, suicide, nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and even eating disorders. In this episode, Dr. Katie Gordon, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Fargo, North Dakota, discusses the prevalence of self-injury among individuals with eating disorders and the prevalence of eating disorders among those who self-injure. She explains the relationship between the two behaviors, including common risk factors.  You can purchase Dr. Gordon's book The Suicidal Thoughts Workbook: CBT Skills to Reduce Emotional Pain, Increase Hope, and Prevent Suicide on Amazon here.  Below are links to some of Dr. Gordon's research as well as resources referenced in this episode: Kiekens, G., & Claes, L.

In this episode, I welcome back Mia Hughes — director of Genspect Canada, senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and one of the sharpest writers on the gender scandal — to dig into the framework she calls "trans as an extreme overvalued belief." Mia walks us through the history of the overvalued idea, from Carl Wernicke in 1892 to Paul McHugh's post-9/11 application of the concept to ideologically driven violence, and explains why this psychiatric category — sitting between delusion and obsession — finally makes sense of the trans phenomenon in a way no other diagnosis ever has.We trace the Dutch origins of medical transition in the 1970s, the moment psychiatry "gave up" on these patients, and how WPATH's 2010 de-psychopathologization statement re-engineered a mental illness into a celebrated identity — triggering, in Mia's view, the social contagion that followed. I bring my clinical lens to the conversation, exploring transference and countertransference, neuroplasticity, the hijacking of dopamine through "gender euphoria," and why so many therapists get this wrong in both directions. We close on Mia's anorexia parallel and what it teaches us about loosening the grip of a pathological belief — gently, indirectly, and without the parent in the line of fire.Mia Hughes specializes in researching pediatric gender medicine, psychiatric epidemics, social contagion and the intersection of trans rights and women's rights. She is the author of The WPATH Files, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and director of Genspect Canada.

Hadley Freeman is a U.K.-based journalist, Sunday Times columnist, and the author of Good Girls: A Story and Study of Anorexia. She joins the podcast this week to discuss what she calls the "thinness arms race" in the era of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. She and Meghan talk about why extreme thinness is once again being rewarded—if not demanded—of female celebrities, how the current aesthetic differs from 90s heroin chic, and why the language of body positivity is often used to shut down obvious observations. They also talk about the physical and psychological realities of severe undernourishment, the role of status and self-denial in shaping beauty standards, and the broader "cartoonification" of the human body in a culture increasingly mediated by filters, pornography, and screens. Before the episode begins, Meghan has a quick but important message about her April Fool's Day episode with "guest" Amanda Gertz-Hurdy.  Guest Bio: Hadley Freeman is a staff writer at The Sunday Times. Her latest book, Good Girls: A Story and Study of Anorexia, was published in 2023.
