Podcasts about Disordered eating

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes registered dietician Jackie Silver, who specializes in nutrition for neurodivergent people. They discuss the unique challenges faced by the neurodiversity community, including sensory differences, interoception, and executive functioning barriers that complicate meal planning and nutrition. They also talk about practical strategies to support the neurodivergent people in your life with making good dietary choices. They identify and analyze disordered eating patterns, and discuss the significance of self-compassion in the journey towards better nutrition. TAKEAWAYS Many dietitians overlook the unique needs of neurodivergent clients. Meal planning can be overwhelming for those with executive dysfunction. It's important to work within people's "safe foods." Sensory sensitivities can greatly impact food choices and preferences. Interoception plays a crucial role in recognizing hunger and fullness cues. Mechanical eating can help those with suppressed appetites due to medication. Small, manageable changes can lead to significant improvements in nutrition. Disordered eating patterns are common among neurodivergent people, especially with ADHD. The window will open soon to join the Educator Hub!

For years, I thought nutrition had to be all or nothing… you either perfectly tracked your food, followed a strict diet, or you were "failing." I spent so much time overthinking every meal, trying to find the “perfect” way to eat, only to end up feeling stressed, guilty, and frustrated.I thought true health meant rigid rules, obsessive tracking, and pushing myself to stick to the latest diet trend.But the truth?

 "I want to eat like a normal person". That's what people tell us over the phone, on Zoom, via email, or written into our new client assessment. In today's episode, we want to explore with you what it means to be a 'normal eater,' and highlight that normal eating encompasses a range of behaviors rather than a specific definition. We delve into how comparisons and societal expectations can skew perceptions of normal eating and introduce the concept of 'confident, sensible eating,' which focuses on healthy, balanced, and stress-free approaches to food. Join us as we offer you insights into how people can transition towards a more confident and sensible eating style, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being, variety in diet, and enjoying food without guilt or obsession.00:39 Defining Normal Eating01:24 Common Observations About Eating Habits03:24 The Impact of Social Comparisons05:51 The Reality of Normal Eating09:53 Characteristics of Confident, Sensible Eaters15:07 Conclusion and EncouragementConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Her insights are deeply grounding, and I'm so excited for you to hear this conversation that left me feeling more connected, present, and whole.

We don't look at the toll they take on the mind or the body." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe "Secrets also make us very aware of where our boundary lies." - Dr. Kathryn Zerbe “ Transparency and sharing the content of a secret or information that might be private is not the point here.

How do you know if you have a healthy relationship with food and your body? This is an acutely challenging question to answer, as the culture normalises extreme eating practices and body image preoccupation as the norm. Maybe you feel that you don't have a full-blown eating disorder or you're not thin enough to properly struggle with food? I would argue that is your eating is causing you distress, it may be worth taking a closer look at it. In this podcast, I'm going to explore different disordered eating behaviours and then suggest some thoughts about what a healthy relationship with food might look like. I hope that you find it helpful.   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   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/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.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

In this episode of All Things Endurance, host Rick Prince chats with running coach and psychotherapist, Brant Stachel. Regarding his work as a psychotherapist, his focus is on sports performance and disordered eating. As both an endurance coach and disordered eating specialist, Brant brings a unique and very informed perspective to this very important topic.   Below are some of the main topics that Brant discusses:1.       Could you tell our listeners about your background?2.       Disordered eating is becoming more of a topic these days. What does disordered eating encompass?3.       Do you think that endurance athletes have an increased chance of having an eating disorder due to the desire to lower their body weight to become more competitive.4.       Are there any signs that coaches should be aware of in regard to disordered eating?5.       If a coach believes that their athlete may have an eating disorder, how should a coach proceed – both in terms of what to say to them, and what should be the first person that they are recommended to?6.       As a therapist who focuses on individuals with eating disorders, do you work closely with registered dietitians?7.       What should a coach do if an athlete does not admit to having an eating disorder, and/or admits to it but won't seek help?8.       What can a coach do to best help and support an athlete that has an eating disorder?9.       A lot of endurance athletes are type A personalities. As such, do you find that many of them have addictive personalities and that instead of being addicted to drugs or alcohol, some are addicted to exercise and disordered eating?

Ever wonder why you keep reaching for food, even when you're not hungry?In this episode, I open up about the deeper layers of emotional and unwanted eating — the stuff we usually try to avoid or push down. I talk about how being curious (instead of judging ourselves) can really help us understand what's actually going on beneath the cravings.I share how your nervous system, the culture you grow up in, and even past experiences all come together to shape the way you eat. It's not just about willpower — there's so much more to the story.You'll hear some personal stories and examples as I walk through the biological, psychological, and environmental reasons we turn to food. I also dive into how fear plays a big role in your choices and why it's so important to surround yourself with the right kind of support — the people and communities who help you grow instead of keep you stuck.Here's what real transformation looks like: small, consistent steps, understanding your own unique metabolic blueprint, and even how hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for change and shedding the layers of trauma, emotional dysregulations and limiting beliefs..Topics Covered:Curiosity Over Fear: Transforming Eating Habits Through Self-UnderstandingUnderstanding Cravings Through Biopsychosocial and Environmental FactorsUnderstanding the Complexities of Disordered Eating and TraumaInner Child Healing and Overcoming ResistanceUnderstanding Weight Struggles Beyond Diet and ExerciseJoin Make Peace With Food for Personal Growth and SupportEmbracing Change When Traditional Healing Methods FailThe Power of Community and Environment in Personal GrowthExploring Emotions and Uncovering Subconscious Patterns Through MeditationEmbrace Incremental Change and Join Our Supportive CommunityIf you've ever felt like food has power over you, I hope this conversation brings you comfort and inspiration. You're not alone, and healing is possible.If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating well, exercising, pushing yourself—but your body just won't let go of fat, there's a reason.Your nervous system is either in Protection Mode (fight-or-flight) or Safety Mode (rest-and-digest)—and fat release only happens in Safety Mode. But if your body feels unsafe? It clings to fat, slows metabolism, and even triggers binge eating and self-sabotage.Think about it. You go through stress, and suddenly you're reaching for food you swore you wouldn't touch. You're not weak—it's biology. When your body is in survival mode, it's wired to conserve energy and seek quick fuel. That's why unwanted eating behaviors feel so out of control sometimes.But here's the kicker: fat loss isn't just about burning calories—it's about making your body feel safe enough to let go.So the real question is—are you pushing your body into Protection Mode without even realizing it? Because if you are, no amount of dieting or exercise is going to override survival mode.It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.So if you're ready to Break Free from Emotional and Binge Eating, download my FREE eBook: Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break the Emotional and Binge Eating Battle.In this guide, you'll learn how to regulate your nervous system to eliminate cravings, make peace with food, and allow the weight to naturally release itself.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about the deeper connection between approval-seeking, the need to prove ourselves, and the quiet ways these patterns can shape our relationship with food and our bodies.I share my own journey—growing up in a household where performance and perfection were tied to love, and how that created a deep fear of doing it wrong, being too much, or not enough. Like many women, I internalized thebelief that being good meant being small, quiet, and in control. For me, that showed up in disordered eating—but it could show up as over-achieving, people-pleasing, or self-neglect.We'll explore:*How childhood experiences of needing approval can turn into perfectionism and body control*Why many women feel “safe” when they're hungry or productive*The role of culture and generational patterns in shaping our self-worth*What healing looks like when we stop trying to earn love—and start offering it to ourselvesIf you've ever felt like no matter how much you do, it's never enough—or you've struggled to make peace with your body or your worth—this conversation is for you. You're not broken. You've been taught to abandon yourself. But you don't have to stay there.✨ Reflection Prompt:What was your earliest memory of “being good” or “doing it right” to get love, attention, or approval? How did that shape the way you treat yourself today?

Have you noticed a pattern in your life where you use food to solve all the things? Whether you are cold, tired, behind schedule or intimidated or unsure or angry, does your brain say "should we eat something?" Even if you aren't hungry at all?This is exactly how emotional eating makes us act:  We find ourselves using the same action (eating) to respond to any kind of feeling rather than stopping to discern what's actually happening and choosing a response from the many available options.Well, my friend, you are not alone! Emotional eating is fairly common and "just trying to stop" is rarely successful.Join Georgie and Christina in today's episode, which is the third and final installment of our Emotion Regulation series as we cover some of the more advanced skills that we teach our clients to help them leave behind emotional eating and binge eating.Find Part 1 of the episode HERE.Find Part 2 of the episode HERE.Check out the graphic on Emotion Regulation tools here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZbhXbx4mmeuQKEYSAConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

The discussion covers the similarities between OCD and eating disorders, such as intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and emphasizes the importance of screening for OCD in eating disorder treatment. Ford and Castagnini delve into examples of OCD and eating disorder behaviors, the role of compulsions, core fears, and the amount of time these thoughts and behaviors consume. The episode aims to shed light on the often-overlooked connection between eating disorders and OCD, providing insights and potential "light bulb" moments for listeners who may be questioning whether their behaviors are crossing the line into something more serious.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite

Send us a textHave you ever felt guilty after eating a food you enjoy? That familiar wave of shame that follows the last bite of pizza, ice cream, or chocolate? You're not alone. As a registered dietitian, I've seen this pattern play out with over 90% of my clients, and it's time we break this cycle.Food isn't meant to carry moral weight. When we categorize foods as "good" or "bad," we create an unhealthy relationship that leads to restriction, binging, and shame. This episode dives deep into why these labels develop—from diet culture influence to childhood food rules—and the harmful impacts they have on our mental and physical wellbeing. We explore how seemingly innocent comments about "cleaning your plate" or avoiding "junk food" can create lasting food trauma that affects eating behaviors well into adulthood.The path to food freedom starts with neutrality. Rather than judging our choices, we can approach eating with curiosity and mindfulness. Why do we want certain foods? How do they make us feel? Are we truly listening to our hunger and satiety cues? By reframing our language around food, focusing on what we can add to meals rather than restrict, and treating ourselves with the same compassion we offer others, we can heal our relationship with eating. For parents, this shift becomes even more crucial as children absorb our attitudes about food and our bodies like little sponges. Let's build a healthier foundation for ourselves and the next generation by breaking free from harmful food labels once and for all.Ready to transform your relationship with food? Listen to discover practical strategies for embracing food neutrality and creating a peaceful approach to eating that supports your wellbeing without unnecessary guilt or shame.

Amber is a binge and overeating coach, while I coach people to speak with impact and clarity from their truest voice.We both see huge overlap in our coaching practices and agree that listening to our body is crucial for understanding our needs and then getting them met - whether that is with moderate amounts of nourishing food or expressing our authentic Selves verbally.It has taken me a long time to learn what it means to create safety in my body, to sit with my emotions and not eat or drink them away.

In today's episode I sit down with with Dr. Tom Hildebrandt, clinical psychologist and director at Mount Sinai's Center for Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders, to unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders—and why that distinction matters. We dive into how to foster healthy food environments at home, when (and how) to talk to your kids about food and body image, and why regular family meals might be your best defense against future struggles.

Loved this chat with with my friend + fellow RD/nutrition coach - Michelle Yates, MS, RD. Topics discussed: -Postpartum challenges/internal conflicts for moms (and dads/primary caregivers)-What things influence our body image, eating patterns + thoughts around food?-How our psychology and past experiences shape our perceptions of reality. -Spotting disordered thinking + eating patterns + what to do about it. -Common disordered eating patterns new moms might struggle with postpartum. -Our thoughts on the 'bounce back culture' we live in. -The idea around what you do matters less than the intention behind it.-Why it's not just about what you do—but the intention behind it (especially when it comes to food choices, body goals, and self-care routines)+ so much more in-between.

It's episode 100 of the Emotional Eating (and Everything Else) Podcast--I can't even believe it!  And to celebrate, I thought I'd invite two amazing women who I've had the honor of working with come into the show and share their experience with IFS.   Kali and Amanda are two former clients who graciously agreed to talk about their struggles with food and their bodies and how IFS and Intuitive Eating have helped them to heal.  They have very different histories and backgrounds, different body types, and different experiences, and I have no doubt that you will resonate with so much of what they share.   In my interview with Kali, we focus on the constant need she felt to change her body due to the pressure from others.  She discusses the numerous diets she tried (including the high-protein diet that led her to eat a meat cake for her birthday--yes, you read that correctly), the damage those diets have done, and the fear those programs created.  We also discuss the impact of the medical community, food scarcity, and a certain infant part that led her to binge.  Kali also shares her journey with IFS--not just in terms of changing her relationship with food and her body, but also in getting to know herself.  Indeed, she states, ”IFS has changed my relationship with myself entirely.” Amanda's experience is different, as she doesn't recall outside pressure to be thin.  Regardless, she was never comfortable in her own skin, and her eating disorder was a way to control her world.  She discusses the secrecy involved in her eating disorder, the lack of attention by the medical community, and how the wellness industry sent her spiraling even further.  We also talk about what was missing in other types of therapy she tried, and how IFS finally got to the heart of her eating patterns.  We end with her sharing that she is finally able to truly feel love for herself:  ”I'm worth all the work that it takes.” I'm so thankful to Kali and Amanda for sharing their stories with us, and I know you'll hear yourself in some (or a lot) of what they're saying.  Take a listen!

In this powerful episode, we tackle one of the biggest barriers to eating disorder recovery: waiting to feel "ready." Statistics show the average person waits seven years between eating disorder onset and seeking treatment—seven years of suffering that could be avoided sis! In Episode 208, we explore why "ready" isn't a feeling that magically appears but a decision you make despite fear and uncertainty. Through client stories, expert insights, and practical steps, you'll discover how to move forward in your recovery journey without waiting for the perfect moment. Whether you're struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or disordered eating patterns, this episode offers the perspective shift and motivation you need to take that crucial first step toward healing. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: Why the eating disorder voice will never tell you it's time to recover The myth of "feeling ready" and how it keeps you trapped in the cycle How to make the decision to start recovery even while feeling afraid Small, manageable steps you can take today, regardless of your "readiness" The life that awaits on the other side of this crucial decision KEY QUOTES "Ready isn't when the fear disappears. Ready is when you decide to move forward despite the fear." "You don't have to be ready for the whole journey. You just have to be ready for the next step." "Recovery doesn't happen in one giant leap. It happens in thousands of small decisions." hope you enjoy this one friend! xo, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co ______ Coach with Me -＞Client Application ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com ______ Join the free FB community -> www.herbestselfsociety.com ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

"I had lost my period for a year. I was definitely not eating nearly enough, eating healthy to an extreme point...it was a very unhealthy relationship with my body," shares Natalie Tyner, who was a North Carolina State Champion in high school and went on to compete collegiately for University of NortH Carolina (UNC). Natalie is now focusing her work on supporting high school athletes who are preparing to compete at a higher level, navigating mental health, performance nutrition, and balancing their training with adequate rest. She's doing this work because she knows how hard it is to compete at the D1 level, and wants future athletes to be more prepared than she was.  In this episode we talk about:  the knee injury Natalie has been navigating for a few years feeling wholly unprepared for the college athlete experience, and running at a higher level, during her freshman year of college the disordered eating, and hypothalamic amenorrhea she experienced in high school, and how a cookbook can sometimes feel like a rule book the performance anxiety that plagued her running experience for years the culture around food, body image, and periods that she experienced during her collegiate experience and both why and how she came into the work she does now, supporting high school athletes as they prepare for the collegiate athlete life Follow Natalie @NatSportPrep on IG to connect with her.  Follow @Lane9project, and visit Lane9Project.org where we house our resources, including our Clinician Directory.

3 things changed his autism symptoms & my disordered eatingWhat's taken me 19 years to learn, I'll teach you in 28 minutes.How free would you feel if you could eat chocolate, cake and candy without gaining weight, craving more and more of it and yo-yo between restricting and over-eating?How free would you feel if your days weren't consumed by fear because your child's tantrums, screaming, eloping and rigidity is stealing your peace?What if there's a worldwide distraction that's keeping children stuck in the prison of symptoms while moms are trapped in loops of food fear, disordered eating, restrictions, strange symptoms and weight - and hormonal issues?What if God, science and trauma-informed healing in Holy Spirit can set you both free? That's what I - Ninka-Bernadette Mauritson am here to teach you on the Barefoot Autism Warriors podcast.I HAVE ZERO ADDICTIONS and ZERO issues with weight, food or disordered eating. It hasn't always been like that and I've recently discovered the final piece to that healing puzzle. The same three components that turned my son's autism symptoms around over the past 18 years has set me free completely. I don't restrict food, I don't do any diets, my jeans fit nicely summer and winter. I can eat cake, candy, bread and drink coffee WITHOUT craving more, gaining weight or yo-yo-yo between extreme and out of control. I can have cake and coffee in the house without attacking or thinking about it. I can take it or leave it. I've been interested in exposing dark agendas in the spiritual realm, mainstream and holistic medicine, fitness and wellness-cults. And up until now I've under-estimated the most important one: The dark doctrine of food fear, restrictive diets and the difference between the enemy's distractions and God's blessings when it comes to food. WOW!God keeps disciplining and teaching me how to understand His word and combine it with science & the turnaround process that He tried to reveal to me while I was still in rebellion and New Age deception. In this episode of the barefoot autism warriors podcast, I share the details of the three components that turned autism symptoms around and removed coffee addiction, disordered eating, cravings and battles with food and body. www.barefootautismwarriors.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninkabernadettemauritson/Email me: contact@barefootautismwarriors.comHere are 3 ways we can start turning autism symptoms around together, whenever you're ready... 1.

If you've ever struggled with feeding yourself consistently, felt overwhelmed by meal planning, or wondered how ADHD impacts your relationship with food—this episode is for you. I sat down with Becca King, a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified intuitive eating counselor who also happens to have ADHD herself. Becca's story is incredibly relatable and eye-opening. She shares how her ADHD played a role in her past eating disorder, and how she now uses that lived experience to help other ADHDers find food freedom without shame or restriction.In this conversation, we explore how dopamine, executive dysfunction, sensory issues, and emotional regulation all intersect with eating behaviors. We also talk about what disordered eating actually looks like (it's more common than you think) and how to start building a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food. Becca's weight-inclusive approach is all about permission over perfection, and her advice is both practical and compassionate.

Episode Summary In this episode, we dive into a client-centered approach to nutrition and behavior change. Our guest, Ian, shares his insights on how practitioners can create sustainable change by focusing on empowerment first, education second. The conversation highlights the importance of small, realistic goal setting and understanding the emotional challenges clients face when trying to make lasting health changes. Rather than pushing for perfection or drastic overnight transformations, Ian advocates for collaborative planning and supportive coaching to help clients achieve their goals and rebuild their confidence. Episode Highlights Empowerment First, Education Second: Ian emphasizes that practitioners should prioritize empowering their clients rather than bombarding them with education at the outset. Empowering clients helps them feel more capable and motivated to make changes. The Power of Small, Achievable Goals: We discuss the importance of setting small, realistic goals that help build momentum and confidence. Rather than striving for perfection, small successes lead to long-term change and prevent discouragement. Breaking the All-or-Nothing Mindset: Ian addresses the common "all or nothing" thinking that many clients fall into, which often leads to feelings of failure. He highlights how to move away from this mindset and set expectations that are more forgiving and flexible. Collaborative Coaching Approach: Instead of dictating what clients "should" do, Ian stresses the importance of negotiation and working together to set a plan that meets clients where they are. This collaborative approach fosters trust and ensures that clients are truly committed to their goals. Sustainable Change Through Layered Goals: The conversation also covers how practitioners can layer small goals over time to create lasting behavioral change, as opposed to overwhelming clients with large, difficult plans. The Role of the Practitioner: Practitioners should view themselves as collaborators, guiding clients through manageable steps and providing support when setbacks occur. This approach fosters a sense of agency in clients and helps them stay engaged in their health journey. Building Confidence Through Support: Clients often enter the process with broken confidence, and this episode discusses how practitioners can rebuild that confidence by focusing on small wins, empathy, and consistent encouragement. Resources Mentioned Food Story Coaching Program: Ian offers an online, self-directed training program for practitioners. The course includes seven modules designed to teach the philosophy and skills necessary to empower clients and create lasting change. It also includes live mentorship calls and peer mentorship with one of Ian's master coaches.

Your Path to Freedom: The Freedom Formula Experience with Lindsey Nichol THE PROBLEM: Trapped in the Cycle You wake up every morning with that familiar heaviness. Another day of obsessing over food, second-guessing every bite, and feeling like you're never doing recovery "right." Despite your best efforts, you feel stuck in an endless cycle: You're exhausted from constantly thinking about food and your body You feel like you should be "further along" in recovery by now Traditional treatment gave you tools, but you struggle to apply them in real life You're tired of having the same conversations with yourself day after day You're living in "the gap" – always focusing on how far you still have to go, never acknowledging how far you've come You feel isolated because nobody seems to truly understand what you're going through You wonder if complete freedom is even possible for someone like you The worst part? You're doing this alone. You're piecing together advice from books, podcasts, and social media, but without consistent guidance from someone who's actually walked this path, you keep falling back into the same patterns. THE SOLUTION: The Freedom Formula Experience! Girl, I've been exactly where you are. I know what it's like to feel trapped in an eating disorder, to try everything and still feel stuck, to wonder if you'll ever feel normal around food again. That's why I've created my 1:1 Recovery Coaching program – a personalized approach designed to help you break free from food obsession and finally experience the freedom you deserve. Unlike generic programs or traditional therapy alone, my coaching: Is tailored specifically to YOUR unique struggles, patterns, and recovery phase Combines practical tools with deep mindset work to address the root causes of your disorder Focuses on real-life implementation, not just concepts Offers consistent support between sessions when triggers and challenges arise Brings in the spiritual dimension often missing from traditional approaches Draws from my personal experience of complete recovery – I'm not speaking from theory, but from LIVING this transformation Through our work together, we'll untangle the complex web of your eating disorder – addressing not just the food behaviors, but the perfectionism, people-pleasing, and "never enough" mindset that keeps you trapped. THE TRANSFORMATION: What You'll Gain Working with me isn't just about stopping behaviors – it's about reclaiming your entire life. Here's what my clients experience: Freedom from the constant mental chatter about food, calories, and body size The ability to eat intuitively without rules, restriction, or compensatory behaviors A compassionate relationship with yourself, replacing the harsh inner critic Skills to manage difficult emotions without using food The confidence to show up authentically in relationships instead of hiding behind perfectionism A renewed sense of purpose beyond your body and appearance The ability to live in "the gain" – celebrating progress and practicing self-compassion The joy of redirecting all that mental energy toward the things that truly matter to you Imagine waking up and not having food be your first thought. Imagine enjoying meals with loved ones without anxiety. Imagine having the mental space to pursue your passions. This isn't just possible – it's what I help my clients achieve every day.

We all have tapes that play in our heads or narratives in the background of our lives. The stories we tell ourselves cast us into roles and you can be certain that they impact how you feel, the choices you make day to day, and how you eat. If you are a creative person, a writer, a poet, or artist, you probably have a really developed skill for weaving dramatic stories. You see imagery and emotion everywhere. On the other hand, if you are a person who's highly factual and logical, you may be less prone to emotional storytelling, but you still aren't immune. Join Georgie as she explains how positive it can be to shift just one of our habitual stories. Unlike most of the behavior change and skill building we talk about on this show- which takes time and rehearsal- recognizing and changing those internal narratives is something that can quickly help you get unstuck (practically immediately). Connect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"? Who hasn't? Sometimes we need accountability. Sometimes we need specific strategies, new tools, or a bit of help.

Despite a decade of restrictive behavior and a career path in mental health counseling, Alishia McCullough had never associated herself with the phrase eating disorder. She's not alone – while eating disorders affect all races and ethnicities at similar rates, people of color are less than half as likely to receive a diagnosis than their white counterparts. She talks to Anita about how an aha moment in grad school led her to better understand how to treat eating disorders in Black women's bodies — starting with her own.Meet the guest:- Alishia McCullough is the author of "Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within" and a licensed mental health therapistRead the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied
