Dr. Cynthia Bulik is a clinical psychologist and one of the world's leading experts on eating disorders. She is the Founding Director of the University of North Carolina Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders and also the founder director of the Centre for Eating Disorders Innovation at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Dr. Bulik is Distinguished Professor of Eating Disorders in the Department of Psychiatry at UNC, Professor of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, and Professor of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institute.  Dr Bulik has received numerous awards for her pioneering work, including Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Eating Disorders Association, the Academy for Eating Disorders, and the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics. She has written over 750 scientific papers, and several books aimed at educating the public about eating disorders.  Currently, Dr. Bulik's focus  is in the reconceptualization of eating disorders as being a metabo-psychiatric diseases. Food Junkies is keen to explore this interest in how metabolic disease plays a role in disordered eating: can this construct be the  common ground to start to understand the muddy waters  between eating disorders and food addiction?  In This Episode, You'll Learn:

What happens when a “healthy” habit becomes harmful? In this powerful interview, Dr. Marianne sits down with intuitive eating coach Sabrina Magnan (@sabrina.magnan.health) to talk about the hidden world of exercise addiction—how it starts, why it's so often praised, and what it actually feels like to break free from it. Sabrina shares her personal journey of feeling trapped in a cycle of overexercising and disordered eating, and how she began healing her relationship with movement, food, and her body. Together, we unpack why exercise addiction often goes unnoticed (and even encouraged), how it can overlap with binge eating and restriction cycles, and what sustainable, compassionate recovery can look like. If you've ever felt guilty for resting, obsessed with burning calories, or panicked at the thought of skipping a workout—this conversation is for you.

Jeff Perla is joined by social media friend ARFID Andrew. The boys talk about their eating struggles and how it has affected their lives.

Do you or a loved one ever feel like you were born on the wrong planet? Livia Sara and Dr. Marianne Miller both know what it's like to experience life as a neurodivergent alien. The existential loneliness that comes with this sense of alienation can be so unbearable that the eating disorder becomes an escape – a way to create a sense of meaning and purpose when you feel lost. In today's episode, Livia and Marianne discuss how eating “disorders” are adaptive responses to a threatening world, emphasizing the importance of listening to stories of lived experience. Key Topics Discussed: Growing up feeling existentially lost as an autistic person in a neurotypical world How eating disorders can be viewed as a form of autistic masking – a way to compensate for your innate sense of being “wrong” Unpacking the “atypical anorexia” diagnosis and dismantling harmful hierarchies in eating disorder treatment The difference between autistic routines vs OCD rituals How eating disorders can be considered a form of stimming in neurodivergent individuals

What happens when you're deep into recovery—but food still feels confusing, overwhelming, or downright scary?In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores how traits of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) can show up in people recovering from anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder—sometimes for the very first time. If you've ever felt stuck with “safe foods,” noticed heightened sensory sensitivity, or found yourself afraid of eating certain foods (even after doing years of recovery work), you're not alone. These lingering challenges might not be relapse—they could be ARFID traits that were always there, just hidden behind more familiar eating disorder patterns. Tune in for: Key differences between ARFID and other eating disorders How neurodivergence and sensory sensitivities can play a role Why it's common for ARFID symptoms to emerge or become more visible in recovery What compassionate, trauma-informed support can look like

In this powerful deep dive into ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), we explore the pivotal role of occupational therapy in treating this complex eating disorder. Join us as we sit down with Jaclyn Macchione, MOT, OTR/L, Renfrew's seasoned occupational therapist and leader in the development of our ARFID programming. Jaclyn gives us a sneak peek into her work, including how her highly individualized interventions, like exposure therapy and oral motor work, can help patients make remarkable progress in and out of treatment. We'll also unpack the signs and symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and the overlap with other restrictive eating disorders. This episode offers a mix of education, hope, and inspiration for anyone navigating ARFID—whether personally or professionally. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week, where we'll discuss how families can support their loved ones at home.   If you enjoy our show, please rate, review, subscribe, and tell your friends and colleagues!   Interested in being a guest on All Bodies.

In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I'm joined by Anne Richardson, RD (@theeatingdisordernutritionist), to talk about the disturbing return of the super skinny ideal—and how this 90s-era body trend is resurfacing in modern media and pop culture. From TikTok to fashion runways, the thin ideal is back, fueling body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and a dangerous normalization of extreme thinness. We dive into how the super skinny body standard is impacting people in eating disorder recovery, especially those healing from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID. Anne brings her expertise as an eating disorder dietitian to unpack how fatphobia, anti-fat bias, and the glamorization of weight loss continue to harm people of all sizes—especially neurodivergent and marginalized folks. This conversation challenges the toxic messages of diet culture and body dysmorphia, while offering hope, clarity, and strategies for body image resilience. If you've noticed the wave of 90s nostalgia bringing back triggering beauty ideals, this episode is a must-listen.

What happens when the medical system sees your body as the problem before you even speak? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne shares her recent experience navigating healthcare as a fat, neurodivergent woman—and the toll of being met with medical gaslighting, invalidation, and bias at every turn. From sensory overload in clinical settings to the exhaustion of advocating for basic care, this episode explores the intersection of fatphobia, ableism, and chronic pain in medical spaces. If you've ever felt unseen or blamed in a doctor's office, you're not imagining it—and you're not alone.

In this episode, I sit down with Polina Shkadron, a speech-language pathologist who specializes in autism, ADHD, and ARFID. We dive into her journey into feeding therapy and explore what's really going on beneath the surface when kids struggle with eating. Polina shares how trust, autonomy, and regulation play a huge role in building positive food experiences. We talk about the impact of fear and anxiety on eating, the importance of honoring a child's identity and sensory needs, and how small, playful routines can make a big difference. If you've ever wondered how to support a child beyond the “just take a bite” approach, this conversation is for you. Bio Today on the podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by Polina Shkadron. Polina is a trauma-certified speech-language pathologist and an expert in communication and feeding, with a specialization in autism, ADHD, and ARFID. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion and brain-based research, which gives her a unique and powerful perspective on language, learning, and behavior. With over 15 years of experience supporting neurodivergent children, Polina helps families understand the why behind their struggles and gently guides them toward more connected, trusting relationships. She brings play into her sessions not just as an activity, but as a meaningful tool for emotional regulation, communication, and healing. I can't wait for you to hear her insights in this conversation. Takeaways Polina Shkadron specializes in autism, ADHD, and ARFID. ARFID is more than picky eating. Trust and autonomy are crucial in helping children with feeding differences. Children may choose hunger over discomfort from food. Language around food can impact children's willingness to try new things. Therapy should focus on building trust and understanding individual needs. Self-regulation plays a significant role in eating behaviors. Parents' anxieties can affect children's eating experiences. Recognizing readiness is key to successful feeding interventions.  Fear impacts our digestive system and hunger. Shame should be removed from eating habits. Neutral reactions from parents can foster a positive environment. Mealtime should not solely focus on food challenges. Introducing new foods can be done through play. Building trust is essential in food experiences. The experience of food preparation can enhance curiosity.

Religious trauma is real—and for neurodivergent folks, it can leave especially deep marks on body image, food, and self-worth. In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Victoria Leon, ASW (@victoriarleon), a therapist who specializes in supporting people healing from religious trauma and eating disorders. We explore how faith communities can reinforce shame, control, and compliance—and how that intersects with masking, sensory sensitivities, and the drive to “be good” that so many neurodivergent people carry. Whether you're deconstructing, disentangling from toxic theology, or trying to reclaim a safe relationship with food and your body, this episode offers validation, insight, and a path toward gentler healing. ✨ CW for discussions of religious trauma, disordered eating, and spiritual abuse.

Let's be real: having safe foods in eating disorder recovery doesn't mean you're failing—it often means you're surviving, adapting, and doing exactly what your body needs. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller, licensed eating disorder therapist, fat liberationist, and neurodivergent human, is busting the myth that safe foods are always disordered. We'll talk about why safe foods exist (hint: it's not just "being rigid"), how they support nervous system regulation, and why shaming safe eating patterns—especially for folks with ARFID, sensory sensitivities, and trauma histories—does way more harm than good. If you've ever felt guilty for sticking to foods that feel manageable, this episode is your permission slip to honor what helps you stay grounded. ✨ Want more tools to support a neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, trauma-informed path to recovery?

Have you ever been told you're “too much”? Too sensitive, too emotional, too everything?

ARFID är en förhållandevis ny diagnos inom ätstörningar. Den kännetecknas av ett extremt begränsat ätande utan att det är kopplat till kroppsmissnöje. Samvariation med adhd och autism är stor. Forskaren Lisa Dinkler berättar mer i veckans lyssnarfrågeavsnitt.

Let's be real: there's nothing atypical about “atypical anorexia.” In fact, it's one of the most common eating disorder presentations—and yet it's still misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and too often ignored. In this episode, I'm joined by Registered Dietitian and eating disorder specialist Emma Townsin (@food.life.freedom) to break down what atypical anorexia actually is, why the name is a problem, and how weight stigma keeps so many people from getting the care they deserve. We talk about what happens when restrictive eating shows up in people who don't fit the “textbook” thin ideal, how BMI gatekeeping plays out in treatment settings, and what needs to change in how we diagnose and support people across all body sizes. This one's for anyone who's ever been told they're “not sick enough”—and for every provider ready to challenge that harmful narrative. ABOUT EMMA TOWNSIN, RD Emma supports her clients to take the stress out of food. Emma's unique method focuses on reframing how you think about food, building connection with your body and feeling confident in your food choices. So, instead of food controlling you, food supports you to live the life you want. Combining her skills as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Emma supports people experiencing stressful eating such as binge eating or uncomfortable emotional eating and those who want to feel good around food after long term dieting. Emma lives and works in London, England. She is a Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor. Her practice name is Food Life Freedom.

What's it really like to have lived experience with both bulimia and binge eating disorder (BED)? In this powerful episode, Dr. Marianne is joined by Registered Nutritional Practitioner Milda Zolubaite (@nutrition.path), who specializes in working with eating disorders. She shares her personal story of navigating life with co-occurring bulimia and BED. From the emotional chaos of swinging between restriction and compulsion to the mental toll of hiding such struggles, Milda brings raw honesty and deep insight. We talk about how diet culture can fuel the idealization of thinness, making it even harder to recognize and treat complex eating disorder patterns. Whether you're a provider, in recovery yourself, or just looking to better understand the lived realities of bulimia and BED, this episode will leave you feeling informed and inspired.

Why do so many traditional ARFID treatments feel like they're missing the mark? (Spoiler: they kind of are.) In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne breaks down the real-life complexities of treating ARFID—especially when neurodivergence, sensory overwhelm, and nervous system shutdown are part of the picture. If you've ever felt like “just try a bite” isn't cutting it, you're not imagining things. We're talking about a different way forward: one that's neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, and rooted in regulation—not pressure. You'll hear how honoring someone's body, brain, and boundaries leads to more sustainable, shame-free support—and what progress actually looks like when we stop trying to force it. This one's for therapists, caregivers, and anyone who's tired of cookie-cutter advice that doesn't reflect the lived reality of ARFID. Tune in to explore how we can meet people where they are—and build safety from the inside out.

Ever felt like recovery is just... a lot? Like your brain and body are turning the volume all the way up—on hunger, on emotions, on body awareness—and you can't find the damn volume knob? You're not alone. In this solo episode, we're talking about what it means when recovery feels overstimulating, especially for folks who are neurodivergent or sensitive to sensory input. I'll walk you through how our nervous systems process all this noise—and how tools from polyvagal theory can help you feel more grounded, safe, and regulated as you heal. If your recovery feels chaotic, intense, or just plain loud, this one's for you.

Food is supposed to sustain us—but when you're chronically ill, even the act of eating can feel like an uphill battle. I've lived with chronic back pain for 21 years, and I know firsthand how pain, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms can completely reshape your relationship with food. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of eating while managing chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, POTS, PCOS, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The mental and emotional weight of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. When food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or a way of coping, disordered eating patterns can easily take hold—often without us even realizing it. That's why it's so important to understand your needs and ask for accommodations. Asking for help is not a weakness—it's a deeply necessary act of care in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness. If you've ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the effort it takes to nourish yourself, this episode is for you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT... How chronic illness can make eating physically and emotionally challenging—from symptoms like nausea and pain to fatigue and side effects from medication. The mental and emotional toll of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. How disordered eating patterns can develop when food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or coping. How flexibility, self-compassion, and doing what works for your body are key. How my personal experience living with chronic back pain for 21 years and how it affected my relationship with food.

Ever feel like you're starring in a one-person play called Totally Fine, I Swear? Masking in recovery is real—faking confidence around food, forcing yourself to eat like everyone else, or pretending things aren't harder than they actually are. And for neurodivergent folks, masking isn't just a habit—it's survival. Many autistic and ADHDers learn early on to camouflage their struggles, and that absolutely carries over into eating disorder recovery. In this solo episode, we're getting real about why we mask, how it messes with healing, and what unmasking can actually look like (spoiler: it's not about forcing yourself to “just be authentic” overnight). If you've ever felt like recovery is a performance, let's shake off the script and talk about what's actually going on. Listen to another SOLO episode, in which I talk about my overall eating disorder recovery journey (listen via Apple or Spotify).  CHECK OUT OTHER EPISODES ON NEURODIVERSITY & EATING DISORDERS!

Diet culture isn't a one-size-fits-all experience—each generation has been shaped by different messaging, trends, and fears around food and bodies. In this episode, I'm breaking down how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have been uniquely impacted by shifting diet culture narratives. From the low-fat craze and calorie counting of Gen X to Millennials' obsession with "clean eating" and wellness, and Gen Z's complicated relationship with body positivity and social media, we'll explore how these cultural shifts affect the way we think about food, movement, and self-worth. Why does this matter? Because understanding these generational influences can help us unlearn harmful patterns and move toward a more liberated relationship with our bodies. Let's get into it!

In this episode we cover a little bit of everything—from childhood misconceptions about adult life to the latest terrible UnitedHealthcare news. Also, Kristin opens up about her official ARFID diagnosis and they revisit the infamous "The Dress" optical illusion 10 years later—has science finally settled the debate on white and gold vs. blue and black? Takeaways: Some kids believe adults don't have dreams… except about taxes. Kristin has officially been diagnosed with ARFID and has started exposure therapy, which is as terrifying as it sounds. UnitedHealthcare is being investigated (again), this time for allegedly inflating Medicare Advantage claims to get more federal funding. The Dress debate still messes with people's heads 10 years later, and your brain is constantly interpreting color in ways you don't realize.

In this episode, I'm unpacking why the Brain Over Binge approach—popular in some eating disorder recovery spaces—might not work for you.

Callers share stories of their children who cannot stomach most foods due to avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Pat Walsh sends postcards to strangers in all four corners of the Earth.

If your child has extreme food aversions, anxiety around eating, or struggles with a very limited diet, you won't want to miss this conversation. Today we're diving into ARFID — Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder — or as my guest calls it, “picky eating on steroids.” To talk about ARFID, I circled back to Zoë Bisbing, a licensed psychotherapist and the director of Body-Positive Therapy NYC who specializes in treating eating disorders and body image concerns with an affirming, neurodiversity-friendly approach. Zoë holds a Master of Social Work from New York University, a Bachelor of Arts from Smith College, and a certification in Family-Based Treatment from the Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders. Today, she's sharing her expertise on the unique ways ARFID presents in neurodivergent children. In this fascinating conversation, Zoë broke down what ARFID is, how it differs from other eating disorders, and why she sees it as a form of neurodivergence in its own right. We talked about how sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and even trauma can contribute to restrictive eating, and how the pandemic exacerbated these challenges for many kids. Zoe also explains why traditional eating disorder treatments often don't work for ARFID and why a child-centered, individualized approach is key to building a positive relationship with food. And a small ask before I play the episode — if you enjoy this episode, please hit the share episode button on your app and send it to a friend or post a link to it in a community of parents with neurodivergent children. I know that when families are struggling with complex challenges like ARFID, it can be difficult to find neurodiversity-affirming resources.   About Zoë Bisbing Zoë Bisbing, MSW, LCSW is a licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and content creator. She is the director of Body-Positive Therapy NYC, a group therapy practice, and Body-Positive Home, a learning and healing hub for parents and professionals who want to nurture a more embodied and inclusive next generation… and heal their own food and body stuff while they are at it.

Zoë holds a Master of Social Work from New York University, a Bachelor of Arts from Smith College, and a certification in Family-Based Treatment from the Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders. A native New Yorker, Zoë lives in a fiercely neurodivergent-affirming, body-positive home in Manhattan with her husband, three children, and two dogs.   Things you'll learn from this episode Why Zoe believes ARFID can be seen as a form of neurodivergence, distinct from other eating disorders How the pandemic has worsened mental health issues, including the prevalence and severity of eating disorders like ARFID The different ways that ARFID can present in children, including sensory aversions, anxiety-driven restrictions, and extreme selective eating How to differentiate between ARFID from anorexia or bulimia is crucial, including not driven by body image concerns but by sensory and other factors Why effective ARFID treatment must be individualized and prioritize the child's comfort, autonomy, and unique needs   Resources mentioned Body Positive website Body Positive Therapy (serving residents of NY, CT, and NJ) Body Positive on Substack Zoë Bisbing's website Body Positive on Instagram Body Positive Parenting with Zoe Bisbing and Leslie Bloch (Tilt Parenting podcast) Noreen Hunani Dr. Megan Anna Neff and Dr. Debra Brause on the Complex Relationship Between Traditional Therapeutic Modalities and Neurodivergence (Tilt Parenting podcast) Feelings and Body Investigators (FBI) ARFID   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I talked to Lauren Sharifi about Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), its definition, and subtypes. We also discussed the challenges faced by individuals with ARFID, particularly in educational settings. Lauren shares insights on identifying early signs of ARFID in children, the impact of sensory issues, and strategies for supporting children with ARFID in a way that respects their individual needs and experiences. The discussion emphasizes the importance of validating experiences, accommodating sensory preferences, and engaging parents and educators in understanding ARFID.

Lauren shares educational and informational resources on neurodivergent-affirming care on her website LaurenSharifi.com as well as on social media @arfid.dietitian. Takeaways ·      ARFID is a recognized disorder that often co-occurs with neurodivergent conditions. ·      There are three subtypes of ARFID: low interest, sensory, and fear-based. ·      Early signs of ARFID include extreme sensory reactions and avoidance behaviors. ·      Educators should create a safe and accommodating environment for children with ARFID. ·      Sensory issues can significantly impact a child's relationship with food. ·      ARFID can manifest differently in each individual, making personalized approaches essential. ·      Validation of a child's experience is crucial in supporting them with ARFID. ·      Parents should be encouraged to provide safe foods without judgment. ·      It's important to avoid commenting on what children eat to reduce anxiety. ·      Support from dietitians can help parents navigate their child's nutritional needs.

What happens when trauma reshapes our relationship with food? Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) isn't just about what happened in the past—it's about how our bodies and minds continue to navigate safety, survival, and self-worth. In this episode, I'm unpacking the deep connections between C-PTSD and eating disorders, exploring why food can feel like both comfort and conflict, and how survival instincts shape our hunger cues. If you've ever felt stuck in patterns of restriction, bingeing, or food avoidance that feel bigger than just “willpower,” you're not alone. Let's talk about what's really going on—and how healing is possible.

Parenting SOS is back, and we're diving into all things fussy eating with children's food guru Annabel Karmel!* Annabel, the leading expert on nutrition and cooking for babies and children, sits down with Gi to discuss why some kids are just fussy when it comes to food (spoiler: it's not your fault!), the importance of celebrating good eating habits, and she shares some creative ways to encourage our little ones to enjoy a more varied and nutritious diet. Plus, Annabel answers some of your questions about picky eating, offering a wealth of practical tips and delicious recipes along the way! *Our discussion with Annabel focuses specifically on picky eating and Annabel's area of expertise as a nutritionist and chef. While we do touch on the differences between fussy eating and ARFID in the episode, we recognise that restrictive eating and sensory issues with eating are much more complex than what our discussion covers, and requires its own specialist support. For our listeners with children experiencing extreme food aversions, we encourage them to seek guidance from health professionals who specialise in this area, and hopefully it's a topic we can discuss more in the future.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this insightful episode, the focus is on ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a complex eating disorder officially recognized in 2013. The discussion covers how ARFID differs from typical picky eating, its unique characteristics, manifestation, and common misunderstandings. The episode features the personal account of a young adult dealing with ARFID alongside anxiety, neurodivergence, and chronic pain. It emphasizes holistic treatment approaches, including therapeutic relationships, gradual exposure to new foods, and a biopsychosocial spiritual environmental model. The episode wraps up with practical advice for caregivers, educators, and healthcare professionals, highlighting the importance of empathy, patience, and collaboration in helping individuals with ARFID thrive. Additionally, it provides insights on how to support young adults and the importance of recognizing co-occurring conditions.00:00 Introduction to ARFID01:13 Understanding ARFID vs. Picky Eating04:02 Case Study: Navigating ARFID with Neurodivergence05:12 The Role of Gut Health in ARFID06:55 Therapeutic Approaches and Practical Advice10:56 Building Trust and Collaborative Treatment19:50 Holistic and Long-Term Strategies25:46 Conclusion and Resources Support the showA Fibromyalgia Starter Pack, which is a great companion to the book Conquering Your Fibromyalgia, is now available.
