Recovery from disordered eating doesn't end the moment bingeing stops — that's often where an entirely new phase begins. In this episode, Stef and Sarah unpack the often-overlooked “middle ground” of recovery — the stage where the chaos of bingeing has quieted, but true peace with food still feels out of reach. Stef describes this phase as a kind of emotional limbo: the urgency is gone, but now there's loneliness, uncertainty, and a disorienting sense of now what?. Sarah shares how she moved from bingeing to occasional overeating, and how easy it was to slip into black-and-white thinking without recognizing the real progress she'd already made. Together, they explore: what this “no man's land” actually looks and feels like why it's normal to struggle more with self-image once the bingeing stops the importance of community, language, and support during this time how to build trust in yourself before everything feels fully healed why this middle stage isn't failure — it's where real integration happens If you're past the acute phase but still don't feel “recovered,” this conversation will help you name where you are, trust the process, and move forward with more clarity (and less self-judgment).

Most people have experienced what Mallary Tenore Tarpley calls “the middle place,” even if they never had a name for it. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon talks with Mallary, author of “SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery”. In her deeply personal and powerfully researched debut, Mallary blends her own story of anorexia and grief, beginning with the loss of her mother, with interviews from experts and survivors. Together, these narratives reveal the often-overlooked realities of recovery. Her concept of the middle place reframes recovery as a living, evolving journey rather than a fixed destination. In addition to her work as an author, Mallary is a journalism and writing professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other major publications. In our conversation, she shares how recovery can be shaped by grief, personal growth, and the courage to live between sickness and full healing.   For more information about “SLIP: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery,” by Mallary Tenore Tarply, please visit: https://bookshop.org/p/books/slip-life-in-the-middle-of-eating-disorder-recovery-mallary-tenore-tarpley/21872676?ean=9781668035016 For more information about Mallary, please visit: https://www.mallarytenoretarpley.com For more articles and writing by Mallary, please visit: https://mallary.substack.com Connect with Mallary on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/mallarytenoretarpley/ Connect with Mallary on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallary-tenore-6719484/ Connect with Mallary on X at: https://x.com/mallarytenore

Licensed professional counselor Blakely Hunze-Austin joins to explore why purposeful discomfort can be a path to authenticity—and better leadership. Blakely traces a journey from tamped-down identity in the Tennessee church pews to building affirming community in Colorado Springs—and what those different contexts teach about safety, vulnerability, and leadership. We discuss tools for lowering defenses and integrating hard truths, plus the power of consultation among leaders to fight isolation. Blakely's charge: find your huddle, have the uncomfortable conversations, and “get up and feel brave.” Leadership, she reminds us, is just advanced relationship work.Guest BiographyBlakely Hunze-Austin is a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado and Tennessee who specializes in sex therapy, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma.

Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by Chelsea Levy, RDN (@chelsealevynutrition), a certified intuitive eating counselor, registered dietitian nutritionist, and fat-positive healthcare provider based in New York City. Chelsea shares her powerful journey from "diet rock bottom" to embracing intuitive eating and becoming a leading advocate for weight-inclusive and fat-positive care in eating disorder treatment and chronic illness support. Chelsea opens up about her career shift from the art and production world to dietetics, how she discovered intuitive eating, and why she now rejects the weight-centric medical model. Together, Marianne and Chelsea discuss the harms of weight stigma in healthcare, why fat-positive spaces are essential for healing, and how weight-inclusive care improves outcomes for eating disorder recovery, diabetes management, PCOS, and more. Content Caution: This episode discusses eating disorders, chronic dieting, medical weight stigma, and anti-fat bias. Listeners will learn: Why intuitive eating is transformative for eating disorder recovery How weight stigma in healthcare creates harm and barriers to treatment The difference between weight-inclusive care and fat-positive care How Chelsea integrates gender-affirming, fat-affirming, and evidence-based approaches in her practice What it means to dismantle anti-fat bias in medical and therapeutic spaces Chelsea also shares how validating clients' grief around body image and holding space for autonomy are essential parts of her approach. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking liberation from diet culture, professionals wanting to integrate fat-positive care into their work, and anyone navigating recovery in a world steeped in anti-fat bias.

In this episode we speak with Renee McGregor -sports dietitian and author of the book, 'Fuel for Thought: A Practical Guide to Fueling for Your Adventures'. [powerpress] Renee McGregor is a leading sports dietitian, specialising in Eating Disorders, REDs, The Female Athlete, Athlete Health and Performance. She's worked with athletes across the globe, including supporting Olympic (London, 2012), Paralympic (Rio, 2016) and Commonwealth (Queensland, 2018) teams. We want to give listeners a head's up that we will be talking about eating disorders and REDs during this episode. What is REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) The basis of REDs is low energy availability, or insufficient energy in the body to allow for the work that the individual wants to do. Low energy availability comes with a cost to our sport but also is costly to all the biological processes in our body, including the brain, heart, lungs, hormonal, and digestive systems. When low energy availability is combined with under recovery (training and general life stresses can all contribute to this) it throws the body into REDs. Some people can have unintentional or accidental REDs where the person doesn't understand how much energy is required to maintain their biological functions and the training load. On the other hand, intentional REDs is a conscious decision to restrict intake or overtrain and usually involves some aspects of disordered eating and/or exercise dependency.

We often experience or hear about eating disorders. We talk about them--often behind closed doors--as if they're something to be ashamed of and ignored. Yet eating disorders--like all mental issues--are complex, highly challenging, and often resistant to change. They deserve our attention. And for anyone who's been mired in an eating disorder or has had a friend or family member struggle with this issue you know how devastating they can be. And in every case I've seen, the road to recovery is not a straight trajectory--it's a wobbly path filled with hurdles, small steps forward, and plenty of slips along the way. Yet, with perseverance and support, people may ultimately recover from--or at least get a good handle on--this serious issue that significantly impacts both mental and physical health. Dr. Carla Manly is joined by author, journalist, and assistant professor Mallary Tenore Tarpley, who offers a groundbreaking paradigm to help those living with--and recovering from--eating disorders. Topics discussed include eating disorders, eating disorder recovery, mental health issues, bulimia, anorexia, anorexia nervosa, physical health, binging, purging, disordered eating, healing, recovery, addiction, depression, anxiety, mental health support, college, life changes, stress, support groups, individual therapy, eating disorder specialists, psychotherapy, and family support.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Content Caution: This episode discusses childhood trauma, eating disorders, and body shame. Please listen with care and take breaks if needed. Episode Overview: Eating disorders are not about willpower or personal failure. They are survival responses rooted in trauma, body shame, and environments where safety or acceptance were missing. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, I explore how childhood trauma and eating disorders are connected, and why understanding this link is essential for true healing. We'll talk about how early emotional invalidation, conditional love, medical or religious trauma, anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, and other forms of oppression shape our nervous systems and our relationships with food and our bodies. Key Topics in This Episode: How Childhood Trauma Shapes Eating Disorders Trauma is not only abuse or neglect. It includes emotional neglect, growing up where love felt conditional, being shamed for your body or identity, and living in oppressive environments. These experiences teach the nervous system that the world is unsafe, leading to food-based coping strategies like restriction, binge eating, or obsessive control. Why Eating Disorders Are Survival Strategies Eating disorders are intelligent adaptations to trauma and distress. They are not choices or flaws but protective responses from a body trying to survive unsafe conditions. The Role of Shame and Oppression Shame reinforces eating disorders by convincing people they are weak or broken. Systems like fatphobia, racism, and ableism magnify this shame, making recovery harder. Understanding how body shame and systemic oppressionintersect with trauma is crucial for healing. A Trauma-Informed Approach to Recovery Recovery is not about force or willpower. It is about compassion, safety, and nervous system regulation. Healing involves body liberation, trauma-informed care, and neurodivergent-affirming practices that honor each person's story and needs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The connection between childhood trauma and eating disorders Why eating disorders are survival mechanisms, not failures How shame and body image distress perpetuate disordered eating The impact of oppression, fatphobia, and ableism on body shame How trauma-informed eating disorder therapy supports healing Related Episodes: Childhood Trauma & Eating Disorders on Apple & Spotify.

THERAPISTS! Join me and Victoria Rodriguez of Revive Counseling in our 6-week Chronic Illness Therapists Cohort! This is a curriculum-based consultation class for therapists who want to do their best work with the chronic illness population.[CLICK HERE TO JOIN]**Episode summary: In this follow-up episode with registered dietitian Samina Qureshi, we explore her new clinical textbook that tackles something I see all the time in my practice - when chronic GI conditions create eating patterns that look disordered but have nothing to do with weight or body image. Samina and her team of 10 health professionals wrote this resource because they were seeing patients come in terrified of food, experiencing unexplained weight loss, not because they wanted to be thin, but because they were genuinely afraid of throwing up or having worsened GI symptoms. We talk about ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and how it shows up in the GI space, why it's so important to believe patients when they say certain foods cause pain even without a formal diagnosis, and how the goal isn't just telling someone to "eat and you'll feel better" - because how frustrating is that advice? Instead, it's about finding accessible ways to nourish their body while expanding their diet and helping them feel confident around food again. This conversation is valuable for both clinicians who want to understand these complex intersections and for anyone living with GI conditions who's been told their very real physical symptoms are just anxiety when they're actually doing what they can to keep their body safe.Resources mentioned:→ Samina's Book, Comprehensive Nutrition Therapy for Co-Occurring Gastrointestinal & Eating Disorders: the EDGI Training ProjectMEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET SAMINA: Website / Instagram / TikTokSIGN UP FOR DESTINY'S NEXT LIVE WORKSHOP→ Aug 30th → READ THE BLOG FOR THIS EPISODEASK DESTINY ANYTHING→ Submit your questions hereFOR YOU, OUR PODCAST LISTENERSJOIN DESTINY'S MEMBERSHIP - for folks with chronic pain & illness→ ⁠Join Welcome To The Waiting Room⁠ (ongoing support for staying regulated while living with chronic illness - This does not replace therapy, but it's a great addition to your regular therapy appointments)FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

ARFID is an eating disorder that often presents as extremely picky eating, but that can quickly turn serious. Caitlin Moscatello, author and contributor to New York Magazine, and William Sharp, director, Children's Multidisciplinary Feeding Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta; and associate Professor, Division of Autism and Related Disorders & Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition in the Department of Pediatrics, Emory University School of Medicine, explain how to recognize signs and how treatment is evolving.

Her memoir "Slip" explores how recovery isn't linear and challenges the perfectionism that can derail healing progress.• Mallory developed her eating disorder after losing her mother at age 11• She wrote "Slip" to represent those in the "middle place" of recovery who are better but not fully recovered• Recovery involved small steps like changing the order of foods eaten before attempting variety• Writing helped Mallory bridge emotional gaps and understand her relapse patterns• She surveyed over 700 people and interviewed 175 respondents to include diverse experiences• "A slip doesn't have to equal a slide" - slips can be opportunities for growth rather than failures• As a parent, Mallory focuses on teaching her children that "all bodies deserve respect"• She created a flower mirror for her daughter with character traits on each petal• Maintaining support through therapy and dietitian visits remains part of her ongoing recovery• "Slip" is available wherever books are sold and explores themes of grief, motherhood, and healingSlip Bookhttps://www.mallarytenoretarpley.com/ Thank you for listening.

For too long, eating disorders have been falsely framed as illnesses that only affect white, thin, affluent girls. This narrow stereotype erases countless people's experiences and blocks them from diagnosis and treatment. In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller dismantles this damaging myth and explores the liberation truth: eating disorders affect every race, gender, body size, religion, and ability. Yet bias in healthcare, anti-fat bias, racism, ableism, cissexism, and cultural stigma keep many people unseen and untreated. Content Caution: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, misdiagnosis, systemic bias, and marginalized identities. Please take care while listening and pause if you need to. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How eating disorders impact BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, fat, neurodivergent, disabled, and faith-based communities Why biased diagnostic criteria exclude those who don't fit the stereotype How systemic oppression drives misdiagnosis and denial of care Why ARFID is often overlooked in neurodivergent adults, fat bodies, and marginalized identities What a liberation-focused, inclusive, and neurodivergent-affirming approach to care looks like If you have ever felt unseen in eating disorder spaces or dismissed because you didn't “look sick enough,” this episode validates your experience and calls for a more equitable path to recovery.

We're diving into the archives this summer to bring you some of our most memorable and impactful conversations — and today's episode is just too good to pass up. While we take a short summer break, we're re-sharing these standout episodes. So stay tuned all summer long for these gems! This week, we're bringing back Episode 27 with Dr. Danielle Novak — a deep and moving conversation that fuses psychoanalytic insight with the complexities of eating disorders. Dr. Novak, a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience and currently in psychoanalytic training at NYU, joins us to unpack one of the most elusive and critical aspects of disordered eating: the role of dissociation. This isn't just theory — it's a raw, compassionate exploration of how symptoms aren't random, but deeply protective mechanisms developed from unspoken, often unconscious emotional pain. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, confused by your reactions, or wondered why food has such a powerful grip in moments of distress, this conversation will resonate deeply.  In this episode, we're talking about: How eating disorders develop and are maintained as protective responses, not simply destructive habits. What dissociation really means and how it can show up subtly or severely in our everyday lives. How trauma — both big "T" and small "t" — plays a central role in dissociation and the onset of eating disorders. The ways emotions get stored in the body and expressed through symptoms when they can't be spoken. How restriction, binge-purge cycles, and overexercise act as coping mechanisms for overwhelming feelings. Why symptoms may provide temporary relief, but ultimately prevent us from connecting with our emotions and others. How building awareness and creating a “pause” between urge and action can begin to reconnect dissociated parts of the mind. The vital role of the therapeutic relationship in healing dissociation and restoring emotional expression. Why treatment often begins with symptom stabilization but must eventually move into deeper emotional territory to be truly transformative. Tweetable Quotes "I tend to believe that eating disorder behaviors are often sort of stand-ins for feelings that cannot be felt as feelings or expressed through words or through other means." - Dr. Danielle Novack "People don't learn how to regulate emotions. Emotions are just put away in a box and not looked at and not dealt with, and become separated from what's conscious." - Dr. Danielle Novack "Often people describe restriction as giving them a sense of like numbness and detachment that often feels preferable and safer than actually feeling their feelings." - Dr. Danielle Novack “Without knowing what's going on in our body, we can't possibly create important connections.” -Rachelle Heinemann Resources Dr. Danielle's Website It Takes A Village By Dr. Danielle Novack Grab my Journal Prompts Here  Looking for a speaker for an upcoming event?

Over 30 million people in the USA have a diagnosable eating disorder, with many going undiagnosed, and even more having distorted thoughts about food and body issues.

This is a fan fav episode. You can be in a room full of people and feel completely alone.

Serial toxic relationships, blaming everyone and feeling helpless aren't healthy, and luckily they aren't permanent feelings or states of existence.

This week we are re-releasing one my personal favorite conversations and a fan favorite episode! This is a MUST listen (or re-listen!) Body image and and neutrality is something I didn't really learn about until I was an adult, after struggling for years. Especially after having my own kids I began to wonder, how do we do better for our kids so that they don't have to struggle with the same body image issues like most of us did as kids? On this weeks episode we dive into the topic and address some important questions! How can we talk to our kids about their body early on & in their teens to promote body neutrality? What are things we should avoid doing or saying to nurture body positivity in our daughters? Our kids are growing up surrounded by social media and are consuming damaging content for their views on themselves and their body. How can we help them avoid the comparison cycle of unrealistic body image on the internet? How can we help empower our daughters to stand up for themselves when their body is being negatively talked about by classmates, friends, family, or strangers? What are signs that we should be aware of that may indicate our child is struggling with an eating disorder? Dr. Morgan Francis is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. She is the owner of Scottsdale Premier Counseling, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In this episode of the Addict to Athlete podcast, Coach Blu Robinson interviews Mallary Tenore Tarpley, a journalist and author, about her experiences with eating disorders and the concept of recovery. They discuss the importance of vulnerability in storytelling, the misconceptions surrounding eating disorders, and the impact of social media on body image. Mallary shares her journey of writing a book that explores the 'middle place' of recovery, where individuals may not be fully recovered but are still making progress. The conversation also touches on parenting and how to teach children about body image and food in a healthy way. Check out Mallary's book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Slip/Mallary-Tenore-Tarpley/9781668035016 Takeaways Writing has been a form of catharsis for me. Recovery is not a linear process; it's a journey. The 'middle place' of recovery is often overlooked. Vulnerability in storytelling can help others feel seen. Eating disorders affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Social media can exacerbate body image issues. It's important to neutralize food language with children. Comments about weight can trigger eating disorders. We need to educate families about eating disorders. The journey of recovery is ongoing and complex.

Have you ever asked yourself: Am I really aware of how much social media and online content is influencing my kids? Have I noticed my kids becoming overly focused on their physical appearance or diet? How do I handle conversations about nutrition and fitness at home? If you've noticed your son obsessing over his physique or protein intake, or your daughter silently struggling with self-worth because of what she sees online, this episode is for you. Larry and Rich dive deep into how today's digital landscape is distorting kids' perceptions of themselves, driving issues like body dysmorphia, disordered eating, and unhealthy relationships with food and fitness—affecting boys and girls earlier than ever before. You'll hear real talk on what warning signs to watch out for, how to foster healthy conversations about food and body image, and the steps you can take to protect your kids from the relentless pressures of curated perfection online. Plus, learn practical strategies for monitoring your child's digital world and discover why it's crucial to model resilience, open dialogue, and authentic self-worth in your home. Whether you're a dad, coach, or mentor, this episode is your wake-up call and toolbox—because the world is changing, and as fathers, we need to step up, disrupt the status quo, and help our kids build unshakeable confidence in themselves. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Why Social Media Is A Game-Changer: Unlike the occasional magazine we grew up with, today's kids are constantly exposed to unrealistic body standards, curated feeds, and supplement ads designed to make them feel “less than.” The result? Kids (especially boys ages 12-14!) are reporting anxiety, body dysmorphia, compulsive exercising, and disordered eating at skyrocketing rates. Spot the Warning Signs: It's not just about undereating—obsession with protein grams, excessive workouts, and constant flexing in the mirror can all point to an unhealthy relationship with food and body image. Smart Conversations, Not Confrontations: The episode shares actionable tips to open up dialogue with your kids. Watch "Generation Flex" together, use it as a springboard for honest conversation, and focus on how food and fitness make us feel—not just how we look. Model Healthy Habits: As dads, it's not about being perfect—it's about showing our kids that food isn't “good” or “bad,” and that balance is key (yes, you can have that burger and a salad). Digital Safety for Peace of Mind: Larry also highlights tools like Bark, which alert you to concerning activity on your kids' devices—so you're not left in the dark about what they're seeing online. If you care about raising healthy, resilient sons and daughters in an always-connected world—and want to know the practical steps you can take at home—this episode is for you Here's what research and observation highlight about Studies show that hospitalizations for pediatric eating disorders rose by 139% from 2002 to 2018, with the largest relative increase seen in males aged 12 to 14 Boys and men now represent a third of all eating disorder diagnoses today Nearly 100% of kids with internet access are exposed to carefully curated or unrealistic fitness/body images daily. thedadedge.com/bark  thedadedge.com/alliance  https://menshealth.com @menshealthmag @richdorment Read more about Men's Health's documentary "Generation Flex": https://www.menshealth.com/generationflex Watch Generation Flex on Apple TV+:https://tv.apple.com/us/clip/generation-flex Watch Generation Flex on Amazon Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0DJCND11R

Eating disorders are complicated illnesses that skyrocketed among teenagers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pediatrician Eva Trujillo says they "literally rewire the brain," decrease brain size, and make it harder to concentrate and to regulate emotions. Malnutrition can slow the metabolism, impact bone density and even lead to cardiac arrest. But Eva says, with the right treatment, people can also recover fully. She's the president of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and co-founder of Comenzar de Nuevo, a leading treatment facility in Latin America. Today on the show, host Emily Kwong talks about the physical and mental impacts of eating disorders with Dr. Trujillo and Moorea Friedmann, a teen mental health advocate and host of the podcast Balancing Act. Plus, how to recover in a world steeped in diet culture. Want us to cover more mental health topics? Tell us by emailing shortwave@npr.org! We'd love to know what you want to hear from us!

What if everything you know about menopause is wrong? Former TV journalist Tamsen Fadal joins me on the Habits and Hustle podcast to share how a live television hot flash changed her life and sparked a global conversation about the menopause transition that affects 1 billion women worldwide. We discuss the surprising 100+ symptoms of menopause and why doctors aren't educated about this life stage. We also dive into dating and marriage during menopause, the workplace challenges women face, and why strength training beats cardio for women over 40. Tamsen Fadal is the New York Times bestselling author of "How to Menopause." After experiencing a severe hot flash on live television in 2019, she left her 30-year journalism career to educate women about perimenopause and menopause. Her documentary has been seen in 450+ cities across 40+ countries, and she's become one of the leading voices in women's midlife health.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss both healthy eating and clinically recognized eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. I explain how brain circuits, hormones such as leptin and reward systems interact to regulate appetite, satiety and overall eating behaviors. I also discuss the serious health risks associated with anorexia, explain how disrupted eating habits contribute to its development and highlight evidence-based treatments for anorexia. Finally, I explore binge eating and bulimia, discussing the underlying causes and the pharmacological treatments commonly used to support recovery. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
