Girlfriend, if you want freedom from your eating disorder in the new year, you can't keep identifying AS the eating disorder. In this powerful new episode, host Lindsey Nichol gets vulnerable about being defined by labels - the number on the clothing tag, the OSFED diagnosis that made her feel "not sick enough," then the anorexia diagnosis that felt like she'd "earned" being officially sick. She shares the moment she realized the energy it took to be everyone's label was debilitating - and how everything changed when she stopped identifying as disordered and started living from her TRUE identity. Here's the truth: If you are defined by your labels, you're also confined by your labels. And no label - no matter how authoritative, no diagnosis, no number, no title - can contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become. You are NOT your eating disorder. You are NOT your diagnosis. You are NOT the number on the tag. You are a saint. An heir. A daughter of the Most High. Royalty. This episode will shift how you see yourself and give you a tangible exercise to discover your true identity as we head into a new year. What You'll Learn: The Label Trap Arianna Huffington's truth: No label can contain who you might become How the ED voice defines you by WHAT you have/do, never WHO you are Why being defined by labels means you're also confused by them Lindsey's Vulnerable Label Story Obsessed with the number on clothing tags OSFED diagnosis: feeling "not sick enough" Anorexia diagnosis: feeling "officially sick" The shift: When being someone else's label became debilitating Realizing she wasn't designed to be a label - she was designed to be HER The Labels Keeping You Stuck "Anorexic," "bulimic," "the girl with the eating disorder" "The fit one," "the vegan," "the one on a diet" "Perfectionist," "people pleaser," "the sick one" Even "recovered" can become a trap Research: 80% of New Year's resolutions fail because they're rooted in outcomes, not identity Who God Says You REALLY Are Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) Chosen - royal priesthood, holy nation (1 Peter 2:9) Deeply loved - nothing can separate you (Romans 8:38-39) A new creation - old is gone, new is here (2 Corinthians 5:17) An heir - daughter of the King, royalty (Galatians 4:7) The New Year Identity Shift Most resolutions fail because they're about WHAT you want to do Identity-based change is more powerful than outcome-based goals You can't identify as "the girl with the eating disorder" and expect to live free When you change your identity, your behavior follows Stop identifying as disordered, start identifying as WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE Your Tangible Exercise: Step 1: Write down FALSE labels you've been carrying (Anorexic, bulimic, the number on the tag, not good enough, the sick one, etc.) Step 2: Cross them ALL out (These are NOT your identity - they're lies that cannot contain who you might become) Step 3: Write down WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE I am fearfully and wonderfully made I am chosen I am deeply loved I am a new creation I am an heir I am a daughter of the Most High I am royalty I am a saint I am NOT my eating disorder I am created for freedom Step 4: Read these truths OUT LOUD (Let your ears hear what God says about you) Step 5: Live from THIS identity (Not from labels, not from diagnosis, not from what people call you) Key Takeaways: ✨ If you're defined by your labels, you're also confused by your labels ✨ No label can contain who you might become ✨ The ED voice tells you WHAT you have/do, never WHO you are ✨ You are NOT: your eating disorder, your diagnosis, your size, your past ✨ You ARE: a saint, an heir, a daughter of the Most High, royalty ✨ 80% of New Year's resolutions fail - identity-based change is what works ✨ Stop identifying as disordered, start identifying as who God says you are ✨ When you change your identity, your behavior follows Powerful Quotes: "No label, no matter how authoritative - one given to you by a doctor or a boss - no title, no dollar sign can ever contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become." - Arianna Huffington "If you are defined by your labels, you're also confused by your labels" "The eating disorder voice loved defining me by WHAT I had and WHAT I did. But it never told me WHO I was" "The energy it took to remain someone else's label was absolutely debilitating" "I wasn't designed to be a label. I was designed to be ME" "You weren't designed to be 'anorexic.' You were designed to be a daughter of the Most High" "If you keep identifying as 'the girl with the eating disorder,' you will keep living like the girl with the eating disorder" "You are NOT your eating disorder. You are a saint, an heir, a daughter of the Most High, royalty" "When you're rooted in THAT identity - when that becomes your foundation - everything changes" "You can't keep identifying AS the eating disorder and expect to live free" "No label can contain the full perspective and constellation of who you might become" Ready to Get Support for the New Year Ahead?

This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee look at some of the most painful and complex ways a body can fail, from starvation and radiation exposure to delayed deaths that can take years to claim a life. Dr. Priya Breaks down the science of how the body deteriorates during starvation, explains why children in famine zones appear bloated, and discusses both abuse and eating disorder cases that show the psychological and biological devastation of prolonged deprivation. They also explore radiation-linked illnesses, the hidden risks of environmental exposure, and what happens when a wound or poisoning leads to death years later. Through every case, Dr. Priya explains the forensic details behind a “slow death” and why, for the body, nothing about it is slow.

Carlota de Sousa, Psicosegovia, nos habla de la Anorexia
What happens when an eating disorder has been part of your life for years or even decades. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores what recovery can look like when anorexia or bulimia becomes chronic, persistent, or long-term. Drawing from her experience as a therapist specializing in eating disorders, Dr. Marianne offers trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and body-liberation tools that help people reconnect with their bodies, support their nervous systems, and rebuild trust when recovery feels unreachable. This episode provides compassionate guidance for anyone who has lived with an eating disorder for a long time and wonders if healing is still possible. It also supports clinicians, loved ones, and helpers who want to understand the realities of severe and enduring eating disorders with more depth, nuance, and humanity. Why This Episode Matters People with chronic anorexia or bulimia often feel overlooked by treatment models that expect rapid transformation or complete symptom remission. Many have cycled through recovery attempts and relapse, often carrying shame for not recovering quickly enough. Dr. Marianne reframes chronic eating disorders as endurance rather than failure. She introduces recovery approaches that honor the nervous system, acknowledge survival strategies, and center autonomy, safety, and dignity. Key Topics Covered This episode explores why chronic anorexia and bulimia develop and why they persist over time. It highlights how survival strategies become deeply wired into the nervous system and how shame, trauma, sensory overload, and systemic oppression shape long-term eating disorders. Listeners learn how to use persistence instead of perfection, how to rebuild interoceptive awareness, how to support sensory needs, and how to regulate the nervous system in ways that feel gentle and sustainable. The episode also introduces self-compassion as a powerful tool that helps soften shame and create the conditions for real healing. Dr. Marianne explains how relational safety, autonomy, and body trust become essential for long-term recovery. Listeners also hear how intersectionality influences chronicity and why marginalized people often face more barriers to care. Who This Episode Is For This episode supports people living with chronic anorexia or bulimia, people who feel exhausted by long-term recovery efforts, and people who wonder if healing is still possible after many years of struggle. It also supports therapists, dietitians, physicians, and loved ones who want to understand chronic eating disorders through a neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, and trauma-informed lens. Content Caution This episode discusses chronic anorexia and bulimia, including references to restriction, purging, and trauma. Please listen with care and take breaks if you need to ground or regulate. Your comfort and safety matter.

Anorexia nervosa, umgangssprachlich Magersucht, trifft immer häufiger Kinder und Jugendliche – besonders seit der Corona-Pandemie. Im Gespräch erklärt die Psychiaterin Professorin Beate Herpertz-Dahlmann, woran Eltern, Lehrkräfte und Ärztinnen und Ärzte erkennen können, ob Gewichtsverlust noch harmlos ist oder bereits eine gefährliche Essstörung dahintersteckt.

What happens when you live with a severe eating disorder in a larger body yet the medical system refuses to see it? In this powerful conversation, Sharon Maxwell (she/they) shares her story of surviving anorexia in a fat body, advocating for herself inside medical systems that consistently denied her care, and reclaiming joy, autonomy, and embodiment after years of harm. Sharon is an educator, speaker, and fat activist who dedicates her work to dismantling anti fat bias and eradicating weight stigma in healthcare and society. Their story and activism have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, The Tamron Hall Show, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, 60 Minutes, and more. Together, we explore the realities of receiving medical care while fat, why compassionate providers save lives, how weight stigma shaped Sharon's early life and nearly cost her her life, and why reclaiming joy becomes an act of resistance. This episode holds so much wisdom, solidarity, and truth telling for anyone in eating disorder recovery, anyone harmed by medical weight stigma, and anyone committed to building a safer world for people in larger bodies. What We Cover in This Episode Sharon's Early Story and Reclaiming Joy Sharon shares a surprising fun fact about being a lifelong pianist and how taking jazz lessons helped them reclaim creativity after growing up in a restrictive religious cult that controlled every aspect of music, expression, and embodied joy. They describe how jazz has become part of their healing and identity reconstruction. Growing Up Fat, Undiagnosed, and Unseen Sharon lived in a fat body their entire life and struggled with anorexia for nineteen years. They went undiagnosed because medical providers only saw their body size. When Sharon arrived with obvious symptoms of an eating disorder, providers dismissed the symptoms and blamed their body. They describe how weight stigma prevented treatment and reinforced eating disorder patterns. The Doctor Who Changed Everything Sharon describes the first doctor who recognized the eating disorder and offered real compassion. That moment shifted the trajectory of their life. We discuss how rare this experience is and why truly compassionate medical care can be lifesaving for people living in larger bodies. Medical Trauma and the Cost of Weight Stigma Sharon shares painful stories about: Being denied necessary medical procedures because of body size. Experiencing trauma at gynecological appointments. Nearly dying from untreated tonsillitis because providers assumed weight was the cause rather than treating the actual condition. The emotional and financial toll of weight stigma across childhood and adulthood. We discuss how the healthcare system misattributes the financial cost of weight stigma to the O-word and how this distorts public health narratives and patient care. Eating Disorders in Larger Bodies Sharon explains how anti fat bias prevents providers from seeing eating disorders in fat patients. They highlight how common anorexia is in larger bodies and how life threatening it becomes when medical systems refuse to diagnose or treat it. How Anti Fat Bias Harms Everyone Sharon and I talk about how dismantling anti fat bias supports every person in eating disorder recovery. Recovery requires divesting from anti fat bias, reconnecting with the body, and understanding how these biases shape thoughts and behaviors across all sizes. Intersectionality and Medical Harm We explore how harms escalate for people with multiple marginalized identities, including Black patients, Indigenous patients, trans patients, and fat patients who also face racism, transphobia, or medical gatekeeping. Advocacy, Boundaries, and Medical Self Protection Sharon shares concrete strategies for preparing for medical appointments, including: Bringing notes to stay grounded when hyperarousal hits. Recording appointments for recall and safety. Bringing a support person. Taking intentional rest time afterward. Establishing boundaries and walking out when providers violate consent. We discuss how exhausting it is to prepare for appointments that should be safe and how necessary these strategies become for survival. Why Sharon Became a Fat Activist After nearly dying because of weight stigma, Sharon left the classroom to educate clinicians, providers, and communities about anti fat bias. They now work with medical systems and general audiences to deconstruct bias, build safer care practices, and illuminate the threads of anti fat culture that harm everyone. Imagining an Ideal World Sharon answers the signature Dr. Marianne Land question. Their ideal world includes accessible spaces for play, joy, rest, and creativity for all bodies. It includes medical care rooted in compassion, humanity, and dignity, and it includes ice cream for everyone with options for all bodies and needs. Who This Episode Is For This episode supports: People in fat bodies who have experienced medical trauma. Listeners who lived with eating disorders in larger bodies without diagnosis or care. Providers wanting to unlearn weight stigma and offer safer treatment. Clinicians seeking to understand the intersection of eating disorders and anti fat bias. Anyone navigating healthcare systems that dismiss or harm them. People exploring intersectionality, fat liberation, and neurodivergent affirming care. Key Themes Eating disorders in larger bodies are real, severe, and often missed. Anti fat bias in healthcare prevents accurate diagnosis and lifesaving treatment. Medical trauma compounds over years and affects every modality of care. Compassionate providers save lives. Medical self advocacy is necessary but exhausting. Intersectionality affects both access to and quality of care. Joy and play become powerful acts of resistance. People in larger bodies deserve safety, dignity, and accurate medical treatment.

Ignacio Jauregui, doctor en medicina y cirugia, doctor en psicologia, especialista en psiquiatria y experto en trastornos de la alimentacion, afirma que la anorexia o la bulimia son trastornos generados por el malestar emocional y las consecuencias fisicas y psiquicas pueden ser multiples si no se empieza a tratar a tiempo. "Hay que revisar nuestras estrategias de prevencion: Hemos abusado mucho del drama y a lo mejor no hemos incidido tanto en la prevision en positivo, es decir que los jovenes desarrollen armas para defenderse de todo eso, mejorando su autoestima, su capacidad de autocritica, el concepto de imagen corporal, un cuerpo saludable"

Sean Blake is lucky to be alive. Through recovery via self-compassion Sean now advocates for early intervention & understanding of this mental illness. Sean Blake, an Irishman from Swords, Dublin, made his way to a Brain Conference in Brussels a couple of weeks ago. This was the first time he travelled alone as an adult, aged 43. All of this was historically linked to his own feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy. Sean's story begins in childhood, marked by years of not feeling “good enough.” This relentless inner critic eventually manifested as incessant running and starvation. After a couple of compliments on how he looked through initial fitness, he was locked into an ever-increasing path of torturous training. He was training to become invisible. He was running himself to death. By his forties, with four children observing this pattern, Sean's daily life was consumed by a regime where he was running many kilometres before ‘breakfast'. We don't mention how many kilometres as this can be a trigger of competition for other anorexics who may feel they are not doing enough in comparison. His ‘breakfast' would be the toast crusts after his children had eaten. They would remember the first time he eventually sat with them to eat a ‘normal' meal. His daughter commented at that moment that he thought his dad only ever ran and ate different food to them. Sean was lucky. A voice inside his head found a way to ask for help. When he arrived at St Patrick's Mental Health Services in Dublin, they told him he was extremely close to death and needed urgent, instant treatment. Over a period of many weeks, Sean unlocked the hold this disease had over his head. He promised himself that if he could get through those months and gain recovery, he would dedicate his voice to this cause. And that is what he has done. Sean transformed his feelings towards himself, and took a path to healing through Compassion-Focused Therapy. One of the exercises was to write a letter to himself: a letter of forgiveness and love. “That letter lifted something off my shoulders, I realised it wasn't my fault. I am good enough.” Today, Sean is a Shine See Change Ambassador, a member of NIMC's lived experience committee (NIMC is the National Implementation Monitoring Committee that oversees ''Sharing The Vision'' Mental Health Policy in Ireland), part of the Service User & Supporters Council at St Patrick's Mental Health Services. He also appeared in the RTÉ documentary Anorexia: My Family and Me, helping to reshape how we talk about eating disorders. In our conversation, Sean shares how recovery means learning to speak kindly to oneself. We discuss the importance of the words used as a community around food and body image; seemingly harmless words about food, fitness or weight can deeply affect those in fragile states of mind. Sean is particularly invested in working with Fitness Studios. Here, right under the observation of health advocates, lies a slightly hidden story of obsessive fitness to the point of anorexia athletica. This episode is a reminder that even the hardest stories can lead to healing when spoken aloud. https://www.instagram.com/seanblake80/?hl=en https://www.stpatricks.ie/ https://about.rte.ie/2024/10/14/rte-airs-compelling-new-documentary-anorexia-my-family-me/ https://www.bodywhys.ie/ https://www.instagram.com/gamian_europe?igsh=MTVqZzd1cmNlNWk5Mw%3D%3D

Den här veckan gästas vi av ingen mindre än Miss Molly, artisten, låtskrivaren, Tiktok-profilen och nu också författaren till boken “Bli föräldern du vill vara – från autopilot till medvetna val”.Molly berättar om hur hon som bara elvaåring slog igenom som artist i Finland, och hur det påverkade henne att växa upp i rampljuset med “duktiga flickan”-syndromet som ständig följeslagare. Hon delar också öppet med sig om hur hon samtidigt som karriären precis skulle ta fart insjuknade i anorexi, hur sjukdomen tog över och hur hon giggade runt om i landet samtidigt som hon var inskriven på en ätstörningsenhet. Vi pratar också om föräldraskap, otillräcklighet och självkänsla. Molly berättar om hur det var att bli mamma som 19-åring, om känslan av att inte räcka till – och om hur hennes egna erfarenheter formade hennes syn på respektfullt, närvarande och inkluderande föräldraskap. Och så berättar Molly om att hon är gravid igen!!

Filling the Gap betwen Faith and Science with Dr. Angela Claffey | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of The Hopeaholic Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Angela Claffey, a licensed forensic psychologist, mental health advocate, and survivor whose journey from pain to purpose is nothing short of extraordinary. Angela candidly shares her early battle with anorexia, depression, and suicidal thoughts as a young teenager, a struggle that nearly claimed her life at just 14, and how a miraculous encounter with a neighborhood boy set her on a lifelong mission to bring hope to others. She discusses how these harrowing experiences inspired her to establish The Well Counseling Center, supporting individuals with severe mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, and eating disorders, as well as Hunger Girl Ministries, which empowers young women to seek spiritual and emotional fulfillment beyond society's unrealistic beauty standards. Throughout the episode, Angela explores transformative concepts like “rage helping,” shadow work, internal family systems, and faith-based recovery, bridging the gap between clinical psychology and spiritual healing, while sharing her personal journey of overcoming anorexia, embracing surrender and grace, and discovering how faith transformed her from a skeptic into a believer in redemption and restoration.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

10/12/25The Healthy Matters PodcastS05_E01 - Food, Feelings, and Freedom from Eating DisordersWith Special Guest: Dr. Melissa Eisenmenger, PhD, LPBinge eating disorder, Bulimia nervosa, Anorexia nervosa - there's a chance you've heard of these, but do you really know what they are?Eating disorders are complex and affect both our physical and mental health, and unfortunately, the number of reported cases has doubled since the year 2000(!!). Obviously, food is an essential part of our lives and something many of us find great joy in, but for others, the relationship is much more complicated, oftentimes leading to dangerous outcomes. But who gets eating disorders? How and when do they develop? And what can be done to identify, diagnose, and get help to those who need it?Social media, diet advertisements, and diet culture are big contributors, but they're not the only culprits. On Episode 1 of Season 5, we'll sit down with Dr. Melissa Eisenmenger (PhD, LP), a psychologist at Hennepin Healthcare who's helped countless people who suffer from eating disorders. We'll have an open and honest conversation around the causes, diagnoses, and treatments of these all too common conditions, as well as discuss ways you can support anyone you know who might be affected by them. We hope you'll join us.The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) website is an excellent source of information and resources for anyone seeking help.We're open to your comments or ideas for future shows!Email - healthymatters@hcmed.orgCall - 612-873-TALK (8255)Get a preview of upcoming shows on social media and find out more about our show at www.healthymatters.org.
We are at an all time high of mental illness diagnoses. Some argue the reason is better diagnostic methods, others because we are just increasing in mental un-health. The discussion in this episode is in regards to the prevalence of mental diagnoses and the impact on individuals. In Brene Brown's bestselling book, Atlas of the Heart, she outlines 87 different emotions that are in and of themselves, normal and healthy. But when do we go over the line from normal to abnormal? From feeling some depression to being clinically depressed? Having anxiety or an anxiety disorder? Do we need or want an official diagnosis so we can get needed help? Or do we want to deny and boycott any such limiting label? I've brought on an expert to discuss it. Sarah Fay is an author, educator, and activist on the issue and has a book titled, Pathological: The True Story of Six Misdiagnoses. Sarah from a young age displayed some unhealthy behaviors and was diagnosed, labeled, and treated. Over the next 30 years she went on to have multiple clinical diagnoses and labels for Anorexia, Major depressive disorder, Anxiety disorder, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Obsessive compulsive disorder, Bipolar disorder, and has also dealt with alcoholism, being a compulsive exerciser, and many bouts being suicidal. You name the drug, she's been prescribed it and taken it. Today…she is well, though still accepting of a couple diagnoses and medications, but has much to educate and warn us about regarding our current culture which has nearly half of all Americans being given an official, clinical diagnosis during their lifetime. Sarah Fay writes for many publications, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Time, and The Paris Review. She is also on the faculty at Northwestern University. She's the founder of Pathological: The Movement, and you can her at sarahfay.org.
