"Eating disorders are dissociative by nature. It's very difficult to be connected to your feelings while you're engaging in eating disorder behaviors. So it makes a lot of sense that people develop eating disorders as a way of keeping themselves as “safe” as possible." In this special episode, Abbie is joined by the incredible Monica Ostroff, a therapist and eating disorders specialist, to explore Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and its overlooked intersection with eating disorders. They also have a deeper conversation about the relationship between trauma and disordered eating. Monika shares her personal journey, detailing her experiences with anorexia and trauma, and how these experiences shaped her professional path in the field of eating disorders.  Listen to hear more about: The misconceptions surrounding DID  Trauma-related origins of both DID and eating disorders Taking a strengths-based perspective in recovery Trauma-informed approaches to treatment The complex relationship between trauma, eating disorders, and self-compassion Understanding our internal voices Using inner world tools for healing  The protective nature of eating disorders What it means to be gentle in recovery Addressing the challenges of worthlessness Coping with societal pressures surrounding body image Why healing is really about connection How we can show up for ourselves with kindness and understanding So much more!

Get ready for a fascinating chat with Dr. Danielle Hiestand, LMFT, CEDS-S, where we're digging into the power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and Polyvagal Theory to unlock new pathways in trauma and eating disorder recovery! Dr. Hiestand breaks down how these tools aren't just fancy words but game-changers for the nervous system, helping people find calm, reconnect, and heal in profound ways. Whether you're curious or already a fan of these approaches, this episode is packed with mind-blowing insights, practical takeaways, and a dash of nerdy neuroscience fun. HEAR FROM DANIELLE ABOUT DANIELLE! I have been passionate about learning and helping others most of my life. I am originally from Northern California and was overjoyed to study at University of California, San Diego and to live near the ocean. After receiving my Bachelors of Science in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience and Psychology I stayed in San Diego to complete my doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy at Alliant International University and become a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #48529). ​While at college, I took a course on eating disorders and began to volunteer with a program that focused on eating disorder prevention. I knew I wanted to be a therapist and help people heal and recover from their eating disorders. I planted my roots in San Diego and began working at an eating disorder treatment program. It was clear early on that most of my clients had a trauma history. Some had never called what they went through “trauma,” but could see how their life experiences had contributed to the development of their eating disorder. Others knew they had gone through something that still bothered them in the present, but didn't know how to talk about it or how to heal.  ​During this time I acquired extensive experience treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, depression, and anxiety. I also began my training in EMDR therapy; a treatment that has become crucial to my therapeutic approach. To help clients on their journey toward healing I also utilize systems theory, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness. My overall goal is to work collaboratively with clients in order to honor their treatment goals. In 2013 Kelly Hinds, RDN and I created Savor Podcast. For three years we recorded episodes on nutrition, body image, mindfulness, yoga, eating disorders, dieting, EMDR therapy and beyond. Past Savor podcast episodes are available here. Before starting my family, I was an adjunct professor at University of California, San Diego, Alliant International University and San Diego State University. I taught classes on eating disorders, stress management, social psychology, and assessment. After my family started to grow, I decided to slow down and work part-time in my Mission Valley private practice in San Diego, California.  I work toward providing a calm, safe and grounded space for you to feel comfortable sharing your successes and your struggles. A journey back to self always has ups, downs and surprises. Together we can navigate how to find tools and strategies to help you cope and make space for yourself. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two daughters. I also love swimming, paddle boarding, and hiking.

Supporting Children and Teens in Navigating a Healthy Relationship with Food and Body, with Heidi Schauster

Today I'm talking to Heidi Schauster, MS, RD, LDN, CEDS-S, SEP who is a nutrition therapist and Somatic Experiencing (SE)™ Practitioner who has specialised in eating and body image concerns for nearly 30 years. She provides individual and group counselling and clinical supervision/consultation and is particularly interested in the intersection between food and body concerns with trauma. Heidi considers herself a whole-self-wellness practitioner and Embodiment Warrior. She is the author of the award-winning book Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self and writes the Nourishing Words newsletter on Substack.  Her most recent book is Nurture - Nurture: How to Raise Kids Who Love Food, Their Bodies, and Themselves. Heidi lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with her partner and twin daughters when they aren't in college. She recently choreographed a modern dance piece about the “empty nest,” performed by an ensemble of women age 40+. Heidi and her family enjoy most food that is lovingly prepared, especially if it's followed by a dishwashing dance party.  In the episode today, Heidi talks about how parents can support their young children and teens in navigating a healthy relationship with food and body. She talks about responding to your individual child, and the delicate balance of providing structure with eating versus over-control. Heidi explains why it's unhelpful to have good and bad foods and how to navigate food neutrality within your family. Heidi talks about educating children around body diversity and calling out fat shaming and weight stigma. She explains about how we will be imperfect as parents and get it wrong, when navigating all of this. Heidi helpfully normalises how many parents are dealing with their own food issues and how they can still helpfully support their children. She deeply advocates for food as pleasure and nourishment – for connection and joy, in addition to nutrition. So much packed into the episode. I hope that you enjoy it.   To find out more about Heidi: - Official site: www.anourishingword.com   Substack: https://heidischauster.substack.com/ LinkedIn: @nourishingwords Instagram: @nourishingwords Pinterest: @NourishingWordsHeidiSchauster Facebook: @NourishingWords     Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html

Are eating disorders actually a type of addiction? It's easy to think of eating disorders as, well, a disorder. But when we start to really dive into the nitty gritty, are they actually considered an addiction? In today's episode, I am joined by Iris Epstein. Since 2004, Iris Epstein RD, CDCES, CEDS-S, CAI has focused her career on eating disorder awareness, treatment, family coaching, and intervention at her practice in Pomona, New York. Her philosophy is one of compassion along with hard work to break through the determined mindset that takes hold of people with eating disorders. By addressing the medical and malnutrition issues that give eating disorders their strength, we can weaken the grip they have on our clients. Just as there are many causes for eating disorders, it often takes a variety of strategies to treat them. Iris is confident that her team at the Nutrition Improvement Center can help provide a successful path for our clients to resume a healthy and balanced relationship with food and their bodies. Iris recently graduated from the ARISE intervention program where she received her certification in family coaching and intervention work for addiction. She believes that the addiction model has a place in the eating disorder recovery process. Note: We're celebrating three amazing years of the Understanding Disordered Eating podcast! Just as a reminder, this is the last episode for the next two weeks! We will be back on September 10th. In the meantime, catch up on our older episodes—they're still gems! Tweetable Quotes "Eating disorders just don't happen fully. It starts sometimes as innocently as having a diet.” - Iris Epstein "When you remove the substance, then their brain feels relief and calm. When it's there, their brains go into more of a depressed mode, an anxious mode." - Iris Epstein "You have to reestablish good connections with people. And I think that's where the secrecy and everything comes into play." - Iris Epstein "Eating disorders are a coping mechanism for survival." - Iris Epstein Resources Connect with Iris Epstein here!

From an early age, we're taught that lying is bad. But, is it? What drives someone to lie? Is all lying inherently bad? How does lying intersect with our internal struggles and vulnerabilities? These are just a few questions I had before my conversation with Tom. There are a lot of reasons as to why someone may lie. But here's the thing - lying isn't a black-and-white issue, especially when it comes to individuals grappling with eating disorders. There's a profound connection between lying, shame, and vulnerability in this context. Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, CEDS-S is Chair in the Department of Psychology at Golden Gate University as well as a psychoanalyst and board-certified, licensed psychologist. He has published journal articles and book chapters on topics such as eating disorders, masculinity, technology, and psychoanalytic treatment. He has written 3 books including, Understanding Anorexia Nervosa in Males (2016), Psychoanalytic Treatment of Eating Disorders: When Words Fail and Bodies Speak (2018), and Eating Disorders (New Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis) (2022). Tweetable Quotes “How do we understand someone's relationship with the truth in a much more complex way as opposed to just saying ‘Well that's just someone's eating disorder.'” - Rachelle Heinemann "Often people have a kind of outward presentation of indifference or commitment to whatever behavior they're engaged in. But maybe, just maybe there's ambivalence in there." - Tom Wooldridge "You could say, well, there is a 0.5% chance that you'll die of the coronavirus. Well, that's just gonna make a kid anxious. What they need to hear is, no honey, it's gonna be okay." - Tom Wooldridge "I don't rule out that [confrontation] could never be productive. But for most patients, most of the time, they're lying for reasons." - Tom Wooldridge "Most of the time I would hope to get to a place where we could speak about the deception, but usually only after quite a bit of groundwork has been laid." - Tom Wooldridge Resources Grab the replay of my Basics of Assessment and Early Treatment of Eating Disorder Webinar Grab my Journal Prompts here!

On this week's episode, we're joined by Leslie Schilling, registered dietitian and author. We focus on themes in her second book, Feed Yourself, which explores the intersection of diet culture and religion — how diet culture shows up in the safest spaces, including places of worship. We discuss interrogating the church, and how diet culture is perpetuated through its messaging and ideologies. From weight to food choices, to health and morality, to the lies that instill shame and guilt – specifically when it comes to our bodies. I've really admired and respected Leslie for years. We're connected on social media, and hold similar values. I was really looking forward to in this conversation about faith and religion, because it's not something that has been a big part of my life.

As we approach a holiday season that's highly focused on food, we're thrilled to be joined by Diane Summers, MS, RDN, CEDS-S, CD, a highly experienced and nationally registered dietitian specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, for an insightful exploration of the multifaceted issue of food insecurity. Drawing on her 19 years of expertise, Diane delves into two essential frameworks through which to understand this critical topic. The first framework begins with a stark reality: 12.8% (17 million households) in the US face food insecurity, with disproportionately higher rates for Black and Hispanic households, as reported by the USDA. Food insecurity is defined here as the uncertainty or inability to acquire enough food due to insufficient funds or resources. This conversation also explores a second framework, inviting us to examine food insecurity through the lens of our culture's pervasive obsession with altering bodies through dieting and restrictive eating. A note to listeners that this conversation does mention disordered eating but does not go into detail.  Diane, along with Dan and Rachael, navigate the delicate terrain of recognizing the privilege of having access to enough food while also acknowledging the potentially unhealthy relationships many harbor with food. The discussion touches on the impact of societal norms, trauma associated with growing up in a diet culture, and the subsequent internalization of food as an adversary. This episode provides a thought-provoking and compassionate examination of the complex issue of food insecurity, with insights into the societal, cultural, and personal dynamics involved.

What is interoceptive awareness and can it play a role in the development of eating disorders? What is interoceptive exposure and how can it be used in the treatment of eating disorders? In this podcast episode, Kate Fisch speaks with Dr. Melanie Smith about interoceptive exposure and awareness. She discusses how interoceptive exposure can help assist our clients and develop more effective treatments. MEET DR. MELANIE SMITH Melanie Smith, PhD, LMHC, CEDS-S, is the Director of Training for The Renfrew Center. In this role, she provides ongoing training, supervision and consultation to clinicians across disciplines for the purpose of continually assessing and improving competence in the treatment of eating disorders. Dr. Smith is co-author of The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity Therapist Guide and Workbook (Oxford University Press), is a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Approved Supervisor, and is a Certified Therapist & Trainer for the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP).  Visit Melanie Smith to find out more.   IN THIS PODCAST What is interoception? What is interoceptive awareness? How can we use interoceptive exposure to help clients? The brain and body image.   Where do we start in terms of interoception? “Let's start with interoception in and of itself. This is just our body's internal perception, so our bodily senses of what is happening inside our body.” Dr. Melanie Smith Our clients are always looking for as many tools as they can to treat their eating disorder clients. It is important for us, as therapists, to understand all the factors that can influence eating disorders… “When we think about eating disorder application; our ability to sense if I'm hungry, if I'm full, if my stomach doesn't feel good; all of that is what we're talking about when we're talking about interoception.” Dr. Melanie Smith   What then is interoceptive awareness? “Interoceptive awareness is the level to which we are consciously aware of the things happening inside our bodies.” Dr. Melanie Smith   It is important to understand what level of interoceptive awareness a client has and how they react to what is happening inside the body, because most of us, most of the time, shouldn't be (or aren't) noticing things such as our heart beating or ourselves breathing. “Heightened levels of interoceptive awareness also results in heightened anxiety about what is happening inside our body. So we might start to overthink it or overinterpret what it means.” Dr. Melanie Smith   How can we use interoceptive exposure to help clients?   “The ultimate goal with interoceptive exposure is to intentionally evoke those same unpleasant, uncomfortable sensations. So, we're going to allow ourselves to experience that emotion, allow it to rise, BUT allow it to fall and learn that this is actually something we can tolerate.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Interoceptive exposure seems to align with other methods and skills that we already understand as therapists or clinicians. If we were to think about Mentalizing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. “Those same principles are absolutely at work here, which is why I would suggest it as a wonderful adjunctive that could nicely coincide with any of those treatment approaches.” Dr. Melanie Smith   When was this developed and is there any current research into the method?   “The first places you'll see it in the literature as a proposed intervention, from an experimental standpoint, was back in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. But I think in the 80s specifically, it was proposed as a Cognitive behavioral exposure-based intervention for panic disorders.” “There's also a lot of really interesting evidence out there and people doing more trials with this with individuals with PTSD because when you think about trauma response and the way that trauma is held within the body, and that bodily reaction, you're not going to talk someone out of that. There have been really successful applications with other chronic illnesses and chronic pain.” Dr Melanie Smith   When talking to a family or talking to a client and trying to explain what is happening to us or to your brain start by explaining; You have your brain which is the organ which Neurologists take care of, and then you have your mind which is a little bit less tangible and it's what us therapists take care of. One of the issues that we have is that our civilization, which is backed by our minds, has actually evolved faster than our brains have so our brains get activated by perceived threat and still think tigers are chasing us. It's still our brain, that primitive Caveman Limbic system, deep in the depths of our primitive brain that is not aware that it's not a tiger. That's that overinterpretation of threat. When our brain is not aware that it is not a tiger. So it is still dropping all of those neurochemicals associated with running for your life. Now our minds are thinking; “there's not a tiger - so why is my heart beating this fast?”. My heart's beating that fast because my brain told it to because it thinks I'm running from a tiger.  There's something about that idea of separating the brain from the mind that really helps people understand that they're not defective. They're not doing something wrong, or their loved one isn't doing something wrong or isn't broken. In fact, you're the opposite of broken. Your brain is working magnificently, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do. Now our mind needs to override that brain part and that feels like such a good starting point.   “Those teaching examples and metaphors I think are so brilliant. I literally start with that one, usually the tiger. That's one of my teaching examples.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Let's talk about what this all looks like in a therapy room and any examples you may have. “All of the education kind of stuff we just talked about, you have to bring in the room with a client using language that is appropriate developmentally and, again, relationally; like it's not a science class but we are teaching them about science.” Dr Melanie Smith   It is clear that introspective exposure is a tool that therapists and clinicians can incorporate, but as a method of treatment, this is not something you're going to start off with. We need to get past certain stages in therapy and have foundational blocks before we move onto using interoceptive exposure with clients. This is a fascinating topic and Dr. Melanie Smith provides valuable insights, information and examples throughout the podcast.

Scaling your private practice with scalable offers (courses, group programs, workshops) can create additional revenue streams and help you reach more clients. Barriers to adopting scalable offers may include a lack of examples in the field, fear of technology, and mindset shifts. Learning the skills of program design, managing feedback mechanisms, and improving systems are crucial for successfully implementing scalable offers. Private practice offers significant flexibility and income potential, making it suitable for those seeking additional earnings, especially during economic downturns. The scalability of private practice allows practitioners to start small and gradually expand their client base. Social media is becoming increasingly important for business growth, but it's essential to use it strategically and mindfully. Effective use of social media involves understanding various platforms and tailoring content to reach the ideal audience. Maintaining boundaries with social media usage is crucial to prevent it from negatively impacting mental health and productivity.

We have been told if you have a negative body image, to change your body & it will fix your body image. Unfortunately that is NOT the answer. It is time to increase awareness and change our approach to overall health & wellness. As a health & fitness professional, I encounter so many people who struggle with disordered eating, body image & yo-yo dieting. In addition, there are many health & fitness professionals who don't know how to properly support someone who struggles in that area because it is out of our scope of practice. Randi Zimmerman, LCSW-R, CEDS-S, is the founder & lead therapist at the group therapy practice, The Time Is Always Now Therapy Group. Randi & her team of incredible therapists see all ages & genders as well as treat all issues. They have a specialty in eating disorder treatment & recovery. Randi has seen from a first hand view how the attention on weight loss has harmed the well-being of so many people. She believes that the overvaluation of appearance of the body and the measurement or judgment of a person based on their size & shape is what leads to weight stigma which in return, leads to fat phobia. This not only creates unrealistic & unhealthy expectations of ourselves & the feeling of “not good enough” from a very young age, but also can cause medical inequity as well as other health-harming disorders.  My goal is to be the best health professional I can be. I want to help you reach your goal, but I want to help you live a really long, healthy life most importantly.  I asked Randi to create this episode with me to raise awareness for everyone, specifically health & fitness professionals, on what signs to look out for & how to help somebody who is struggling. More importantly, I want her to help you learn to love yourself a little bit more. We ask you to please share this episode with your community to spread awareness & help someone who may be struggling.

If you've found the Midlife Feast to be a helpful or refreshing community of women, there's a good chance you're on a journey of redefining your relationship with food. Whether you are just starting or years into it, each one of our stories is so important, and so worthy of sharing. That's why I was so excited to invite friend, and therapist, Alli Spotts-De Lazzer LMFT, LPCC, CEDS-S to come on the podcast. She's the author of MeaningFULL, 23 Life-Changing Stories of Conquering Dieting, Weight, & Body Image Issues. Here she has thoughtfully curated stories of women who had the courage to trade diet culture's empty promises of happiness for a more peaceful and fulfilling path. One of the biggest ways the health and wellness industry has failed us is by continuing to promote this idea that one-size-fits-all. Join us to discover more about why the problem is not you. Your story is just still unfolding and midlife is the perfect time to discover peace and fulfillment in your relationship with food and your body. To learn more about Alli Spotts-De Lazzer and her work, visit her website at www.TherapyHelps.Us and follow her on Instagram  @TherapistAlli, on Twitter @TherapistAlli, or on Facebook @Alliwww.TherapyHelps.UsGrab the Book: MeaningFULL, 23 Life-Changing Stories of Conquering Dieting, Weight, & Body Image IssuesLooking for a place to learn more about midlife, menopause nutrition, and intuitive eating?

In a world where beauty is so often equated with thinness and weight loss with health, willpower, and virtue, Intuitive Eating gives us a different framework-one that emphasizes the beauty of body diversity and makes food freedom possible. In today's episode, I have the privilege of speaking with one of the co-creators of Intuitive Eating, Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, CEDS-S. Elyse is a nutrition therapist in private practice in Beverly Hills, California, with forty years of experience, specializing in eating disorders, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size. She is the co-author of Intuitive Eating, now in its 4th edition, the Intuitive Eating Workbook, The Intuitive Eating Card Deck—50 Bite-Sized Ways to Make Peace with Food, The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens, and The Intuitive Eating Journal—Your Guided Journey for Nourishing a Healthy Relationship with Food. She is also a chapter contributor to The Handbook of Positive Body Image and Embodiment and her work has been profiled in outlets such NPR, CNN, NBC, KTTV, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Associate Press, KFI Radio, USA Today, and the Huffington Post, among others. Elyse is nationally known for her work in helping patients break free from diet culture through the Intuitive Eating process. Her philosophy embraces the goal of reconnecting with one's internal wisdom about eating and believes that all bodies deserve dignity and respect. She also supervises and trains health professionals, is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and Supervisor, a Fellow of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, and a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. In my time with Elyse, we discuss what first drew her to the concept of Intuitive Eating, what Intuitive Eating is and how it differs from diet culture, sneaky ways diet culture is showing up these days, and how the concept of health can be expanded beyond weight. So, if you're curious about Intuitive Eating, making peace with food, or looking for a new way to connect with your body, this episode is for you.

Today we are discussing a difficult but important topic. It's a subject we believe needs to be spoken about more openly so mothers know they are not alone. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy — before a person might even know about a pregnancy. We hear our expert panelists discuss how parents can navigate pregnancy after loss, what resources are available, that often difficult decision to not have more children and being content with the family that one has, and dealing with the changes that the body goes through after loss, how to approach fitness after miscarriage or loss, and a parent's understandable array of mixed emotions and anxiety of losing a child.

Terminal Anorexia is different than Severe and Enduring AN- where sufferers do often make a recovery after 20 years (research shows). Terminal AN is diagnosed when the sufferer will die from malnutrition within 6 months.

We start by discussing Stephanie's entry into psychotherapy and working with athletes with eating disorders, as well as her personal history with nutrition and mental health. As is all too common, Stephanie's drive to “eat clean” to improve her performance led her down a path of restriction and underfuelling, and ultimately into a chronic cycle of injuries. Nutrition struggles are rarely discrete problems that have a distinct recovery timeline: individuals often experience many iterations of disordered eating throughout different phases of life. We discuss how one problem with food often evolves into more rigid food rules and obsessions. Stephanie and I share some of the food rules we have overcome ourselves and how we still work to challenge diet culture and disorders eating thoughts that arise despite identifying as “fully recovered”. We unpack some common triggers for disordered eating: diet culture, family, body image, athletics and more. Getting to the root cause of each individual's food fears and dismantling diet culture beliefs is crucial to true recovery. Stephanie advocates for an anti-diet and intuitive eating approach, and we discuss what this means practically for athletes. We give listeners actionable advice on body acceptance and rejecting diet culture as we discuss the ways we think and feel about our bodies.  Disordered eating and diet mentalities often first develop when we're young and observing the attitudes of our parents and those around us. We highlight the importance of creating anti-diet environments for children and fostering healthy relationships with our bodies and nutrition at home. We finish off discussing how Stephanie practices what she preaches as an Ironman triathlete and marathoner, fueling her athletic goals and endurance achievements as a mom and everyday amateur athlete.  Follow Stephanie on Instagram @embodiedpsychotherapist.      Website: https://www.intuitivepsychotherapynyc.com/ Stephanie Roth-Goldberg's Official Bio Stephanie Roth-Goldberg, LCSW, CEDS-S is a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders and athletes.  She is the founder of Intuitive Psychotherapy NYC, a small group psychotherapy practice focusing on treating eating disorders through an anti-diet lens. Stephanie works with athletes and the intersection of eating disorders and sports.  Stephanie, a runner and triathlete herself is passionate about incorporating movement into eating disorder treatment to help folks feel empowered and connected to their bodies.  She regularly presents on the subject of eating disorders and exercise.  When Stephanie isn't working, she can be found running around with her two children, writing, or triathlon training.
