Podcasts about eating disorders

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Lisa Sabey and Alison Paine, two courageous mothers, share how they are using documentary filmmaking as a catalyst to revolutionize mental health education and care in the United States. What began as personal journeys navigating their own families' mental health challenges has evolved into a mission to transform how mental health is understood, taught, and supported across the country. These women are working to bridge the long-standing gap between clinical care and lived experience. While traditional mental health education often centers on diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, their films elevate real stories—raw, honest, and human. By centering lived experience, they are creating resources that resonate not only with professionals but with parents, educators, students, and communities seeking deeper understanding.     •Parents to Parents Website: https://www.parentstoparents.org/    •EDC/Zero Suicide site with the film Parents to Parents: After Your Child's Suicide Attempt: https://zerosuicide.edc.org/resources/resource-database/parents-parents-after-your-childs-suicide-attempt    •Matters Media:  https://mattersmedia.org/    •National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): https://www.nami.org/

Segment 1 • The Bible is sufficient to build a “theology of eating” even without modern labels like anorexia. • Eating disorders are less “body problems” and more heart + identity problems. • A young woman's, Katie's, diary is introduced to expose what's really driving the struggle. Segment 2 • She admits she “hated God” because she believed a false version of Him. • Todd spotlights how biblical counseling targets wrong theology before behavior change can last. • “Radical amputation” shows up as practical wisdom: removing triggers, not worshiping mirrors. Segment 3 • A “sanctification plan” includes a failure plan so setbacks don't become spiritual collapse. • Katie's progress includes accountability, routines, and letting others into what used to be secret. • The danger of denial: “I don't have a problem” → no safeguards → isolation → despair. Segment 4 • A tiny booklet on “the quest for thinness” reframes eating disorders as God-excluding self-rule. • Todd challenges the secret-keeping and “control language” behind starving, binging, or purging • Practical next steps: confess honestly, learn who God is, ask for help, speak truth, prepare for failure—because you have an Advocate. ___ Thanks for listening!

This is one of my favorite conversations on PDA to date! Livia Sara and Allyson Inez Ford sit down to discuss the connection between demand avoidance and eating disorders in neurodivergent folks, highlighting the importance of autonomy and purpose on the discovery journey. Key Topics Discussed: Why traditional eating disorder treatment fails people with PDA The need for meaning and purpose beyond abstract recovery goals like “food freedom” How eating disorders create boundaries in a boundless world and serve as distractions from existential overwhelm Why shifting “recovery” to “discovery” helps remove the pressure that healing has to look a certain way How the “why” for discovery must be self-defined, not externally imposed

Hey girl, welcome back to the Her Best Self Podcast. This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week and Lindsey is getting real with you about the truth behind eating disorders — the statistics that will stop you in your tracks, the signs that are easy to miss, and the hope that recovery is absolutely possible for you. Whether you are personally in the thick of your own battle with food and your body, loving someone who is struggling, or simply wanting to understand eating disorders on a deeper level, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode In this powerful episode, Lindsey pulls back the curtain on the most misunderstood mental illness and shares what the research actually says, who eating disorders really affect, and what you can do today to take the next step toward freedom. Lindsey covers the real mortality rate of eating disorders and why early intervention changes everything, the truth about who develops eating disorders and why the stereotype is dead wrong, the most common signs to watch for in yourself or someone you love, how to approach a loved one who is struggling without pushing them further away, and why recovery is not only possible but waiting for you on the other side. Key Stats From This Episode Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any mental illness, surpassed only by opioid addiction. Someone dies every 52 minutes as a direct result of an eating disorder. About 30 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder in their lifetime. Less than 6% of people with eating disorders are classified as underweight. Only about one third of people with eating disorders will ever receive treatment. Lindsey's Personal Message to You If your eating disorder is telling you that you need it to survive, that you're not sick enough for help, or that you'll never recover — those are lies. Every single one of them. Lindsey has been where you are and she is living proof that freedom is real, that it is possible, and that life on the other side is better than you can imagine.

Say It Brave On Campus, Episode 1 We chose to honor this year's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week by trying something new - our first ever mini-series. The topic? Real stories from the intersection of college life, mental health, and eating disorders. So, for the next few days you'll see three back-to-back episodes appear in your feeds, each taking a different angle on these pivotal years. You'll also have the chance to meet a new guest host, Shannon Kopp, who has spent years cultivating recovery-focused relationships on campuses around the country.  For the first episode, Shannon talks with UC Davis graduate, Eli Teel, about navigating a mental and physical metamorphosis during college. He shares how academic pressure, gender dysphoria, and the shift to college contributed to the development of an eating disorder — and why coming out about it felt harder than coming out as trans.  Shannon and Eli's conversation brings a personal perspective to the intersections of LGBTQ+ mental health and eating disorders, the role of different treatment levels -  residential, IOP and PHP - and why multiple rounds of treatment can feel like failure, but is actually meaningful progress.  Links: Eli Teel:  eatingrecoverycenter.com/profile/eli-teel Mental Note Podcast www.mentalnotepodcast.com  Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center: www.pathlightbh.com     Eating Recovery Center: www.eatingrecoverycenter.com Free Group Support: https://www.pathlightbh.com/support-groups    Free Evaluation with a Trained Therapist:  (877) 850-7199 

Chronic binge eating disorder is not a failure of willpower. It is a nervous system pattern shaped by restriction, shame, trauma, and unmet needs. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores why binge eating becomes chronic, how dieting and food scarcity fuel the cycle, and what real recovery actually looks like for adults living with long-term binge eating disorder. If you feel stuck in the binge cycle, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a realistic path forward. Chronic Binge Eating Disorder Is Not About Weakness Many people living with chronic binge eating disorder believe that if they were more disciplined, more motivated, or more in control, the behavior would stop. This episode challenges that harmful narrative. Chronic binge eating disorder persists because powerful biological and psychological systems are involved. Restriction increases hunger hormones and food preoccupation. Stress activates survival responses. Shame reinforces secrecy and isolation. Dr. Marianne explains why binge eating makes sense in context and why understanding the function of the behavior is essential for sustainable binge eating recovery. Why Binge Eating Becomes Chronic Long-term binge eating disorder rarely develops in a vacuum. Dieting, weight stigma, trauma, sensory overload, executive functioning strain, and chronic stress all contribute to the cycle. When the body experiences restriction or perceived scarcity, it responds with urgency. When the nervous system feels overwhelmed, binge eating can temporarily regulate distress. This episode explores how biological drives, nervous system regulation, and shame interact to keep binge eating disorder chronic, even when someone desperately wants change. Neurodivergence, Sensory Needs, and Binge Eating Disorder For many adults, chronic binge eating disorder intersects with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. Food may provide stimulation, grounding, predictability, or relief from decision fatigue. Traditional binge eating treatment models often overlook these factors. Dr. Marianne discusses how a neurodivergent-affirming approach to binge eating recovery can reduce shame and increase effectiveness by supporting sensory needs and executive functioning rather than ignoring them. What Real Recovery From Chronic Binge Eating Disorder Looks Like Mainstream recovery messaging often centers perfection and dramatic transformation. Real recovery from chronic binge eating disorder is usually quieter and more gradual. It begins with safety rather than control. It focuses on consistent nourishment, nervous system regulation, and shame reduction. This episode outlines how sustainable binge eating recovery involves stabilizing food intake, reducing restriction, expanding coping strategies, and building self-compassion. Progress is measured not by perfection, but by increased flexibility, dignity, and safety in the body.

They dismantle the fear-mongering around carbohydrates, the elitism of "clean eating," and the dangers of new inverted food pyramid trends that demonize essential macronutrients. Stefanie shares her personal 25-year battle with eating disorders and how she finally found recovery at age 40. Together, they explore the dangerous intersection of GLP-1 medications and restrictive diet culture, offering a compassionate perspective on why you might feel stressed about food and how to find your way back to balance.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes, host of the Female Athlete Nutrition Podcast, welcomes returning guest Dr. Kate Bennett, a clinical sports psychologist, licensed Way of Champions trainer, and multiple-time national champion, to discuss her new venture, Full Send Consulting. Bennett explains that while her mental health practice (Athlete Insight) continues, Full Send was created to address the systemic gap between education about eating disorders/RED-S and rising prevalence rates by shifting from individual treatment to team- and coach-focused culture change. She outlines the Way of Champions philosophy—rooted in Eastern thought, mindfulness, values, and transformational (rather than transactional) coaching—emphasizing psychological safety, purpose, belonging, and eliminating fear-based scarcity mindsets to help teams become protective factors for athlete wellbeing. Lindsey connects these concepts to nutrition, RED-S prevention, and team-wide fueling standards, sharing an example of value-based work with a university equestrian team. They discuss how teammates and coaches influence culture, the importance of trust and accountability, and how athletes—including alternates—contribute to team success through relationships. Bennett describes how Full Send Consulting works with teams and one-on-one with coaches in customizable formats (one-day intensives to season-long support) and serves youth, high school, college, and professional teams in person, virtually, and via travel. Kate Bennett, PsyD, is a clinical sport psychologist. She is the reigning 2024 Downhill Masters National Champion in addition to being a two-time national track cycling champion. Prior to her clinical training, Dr. Bennett was an athletic trainer and cycling coach. She combines her sport experiences and clinical expertise to treat athletes recovering from eating disorders, disordered eating, exercise dependency, and REDs. Dr. Bennett authored "Treating Athletes with Eating Disorders."

Mechanical eating refers to eating on a consistent schedule, usually every three to four hours, regardless of hunger cues. It is commonly introduced in early eating disorder treatment to stabilize nourishment and interrupt restriction or binge cycles. In this episode, Dr. Marianne explains how mechanical eating creates physiological rhythm in a body that has experienced disruption. Eating disorders affect digestion, blood sugar, hormones, and nervous system regulation. Mechanical eating restores predictability and reduces biological chaos. Lifelong recovery invites a deeper question. Is structure still serving you years into recovery, or has it become rigid? How Mechanical Eating Supports Your GI System, Blood Sugar, and Mood Mechanical eating is not just about timing. It directly supports digestive health, metabolic stability, and emotional regulation. Regular nourishment helps the gastrointestinal system relearn movement and tolerance after restriction. It can reduce bloating, reflux, constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain that often occur when eating patterns have been irregular. Mechanical eating also stabilizes blood sugar levels. Long gaps without food can lead to shakiness, irritability, brain fog, dizziness, and intense urgency to eat. Consistent intake smooths those fluctuations and supports steady energy throughout the day. Because the brain depends on adequate fuel, mechanical eating also improves mood regulation. Anxiety, irritability, and low mood often intensify when nourishment is inconsistent. Stabilizing blood sugar reduces these physiological stress responses and creates a more regulated emotional baseline. For many people, these benefits make mechanical eating a powerful and supportive tool. When Mechanical Eating May Stop Fitting Lifelong eating disorder recovery requires flexibility. A strategy that was essential in early recovery may need to evolve over time. Mechanical eating can become rigid if the clock replaces internal cues entirely. Some people experience anxiety if eating times shift. Others notice that hunger cues remain muted even after years of structure. For neurodivergent individuals, strict schedules may conflict with executive functioning variability, sensory sensitivities, or fluctuating energy. This episode explores how to recognize when mechanical eating is supportive and when it may need to be adapted. Recovery is not about perfect adherence. It is about building a sustainable, compassionate relationship with food and body over time. Who Mechanical Eating Helps Most in Long-Term Recovery Mechanical eating often benefits people who need predictable physiological regulation, reduced decision fatigue, and steady nourishment despite unreliable hunger signals. It can be especially helpful during stress, illness, life transitions, or periods of emotional overwhelm. Rather than seeing mechanical eating as a permanent rule, Dr. Marianne reframes it as a flexible tool that can be used when needed and modified when necessary. Lifelong recovery allows room for adaptation. ARFID, Selective Eating, and Mechanical Eating For individuals with ARFID or selective eating, mechanical eating alone is often not enough. Sensory sensitivity, fear of aversive consequences, and low appetite require neurodivergent-affirming and sensory-attuned approaches. Dr. Marianne's ARFID and Selective Eating Course provides structured, trauma-informed, and liberation-centered support for people who need more than traditional eating disorder recovery tools. In the course, she addresses nervous system regulation, sensory safety, and realistic long-term change. Learn more about the ARFID course and therapy options at drmariannemiller.com.

When food starts to feel tense, restrictive, or obsessive at home, it can send a parent into panic fast.In observation of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Erin Parks, Chief Clinical Officer at Equip Health, to talk about eating disorders and disordered eating in kids and teens—what the early signs look like, what's happening emotionally underneath, and how parents can respond without escalating shame or control struggles.Eating disorders affect an estimated 30 million Americans in their lifetime. They are common. They are serious. And they are not caused by “bad parenting.” In this episode, we cover: Early warning signs of eating disorders in kids and teens (including boys) When “healthy eating” becomes rigid or concerning The role of perfectionism and control How diet culture shows up in family language What shame sounds like inside a teen's head How to hold boundaries around health without turning food into a power struggle When it's time to seek professional help Disordered eating behaviors are not about vanity or defiance—they're often attempts to regulate overwhelming feelings.

When people hear "eating disorder," they picture a young stick-figure girl in ballet class. But what I see every day? CEOs with anorexia. Lawyers binge eating in office bathrooms. Doctors struggling in silence with exercise compulsion. Corporate executives who haven't eaten lunch in six months because they're "too busy." 73% of women in corporate and professional environments report engaging in at least one disordered eating behavior. And if you're a high-performing woman who feels trapped but can't connect the dots—this episode is for you. Because your workplace might be feeding your eating disorder. And it's time we talked about it. You'll discover: The chilling parallels between corporate culture and eating disorder logic How "dedication" and "discipline" can actually be disordered eating in disguise Why corporate wellness programs trigger eating disorders instead of preventing them The toxic beliefs high-performer culture promotes that fuel disordered eating Signs everyone misses in successful women who are struggling How to audit your workplace culture for ED-triggering behaviors Why your traits might be symptoms—not personality flaws How to redefine success to include your wellbeing The truth: You can be successful AND recovered. Recovery doesn't mean giving up your ambition—it means reclaiming it. THE CHILLING PARALLELS Corporate Culture Says: "I have to earn my lunch—I haven't been productive enough yet" "I can't take a break—everyone's counting on me" "If I rest, I'm falling behind" Eating Disorder Logic Says: "I have to earn my food—I haven't burned enough calories yet" "I can't eat—I have to stay in control" "If I eat, I'm losing control" It's the same framework: Your worth is conditional. Your value is based on performance. And this mindset gets you promoted—while secretly destroying your relationship with food and your body. TOXIC BELIEFS THAT FEED BOTH "Results over rest" - Your body becomes just a vehicle for performance "Discipline equals success" - Until discipline becomes rigid food rules "Mind over matter" - Glorifying disconnection from your body's signals "Optimize everything" - Your body becomes a project to control and perfect "Hustle culture" - Normalizing deprivation of food, rest, and pleasure For someone who's perfectionistic and already anxious, these messages are gasoline on a fire. SIGNS EVERYONE MISSES ✅ First one in, last one out—always "on," can't rest ✅ Skipping meals because you're "too busy" (praised as dedication) ✅ Rigid food rules disguised as "wellness" ("I don't eat carbs," "only clean foods") ✅ Over-exercising every day, even when sick or injured ✅ Talking about your body transactionally ("I earned this meal," "I have to burn this off") ✅ Avoiding work social events that involve food ✅ Exhausted but won't slow down Most of these behaviors are celebrated in high-performer culture—so you don't realize you need help. YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURE AUDIT Ask yourself: Am I praised for skipping meals or working through lunch? Does my company tie wellness to competition or performance metrics? Do I feel pressure to track, optimize, or perform my health? Are boundaries seen as weakness in my workplace? Do I feel like I have to "earn" rest, food, or self-care? Then ask: Am I using work stress as an excuse to control my food? Do I restrict when work gets overwhelming? Do I "earn" meals based on productivity? Am I exercising compulsively to manage work anxiety? If you answered yes to any of these—you're not alone. And you're not crazy. THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR "TRAITS" Those traits you think define you? They might not be who you ARE. They might be symptoms. Symptoms of working in an environment that rewards disordered behaviors. Symptoms of impossible standards that tell you your worth is tied to your output. You are not broken. You're responding exactly how anyone would respond to these systems. REDEFINING SUCCESS True high performance: ✅ Rest is part of the strategy - not a sign of weakness ✅ Nourishment is non-negotiable - your brain needs fuel to perform ✅ Boundaries are a strength - saying no, delegating, protecting your energy ✅ Worth isn't tied to output - you're valuable because you exist ✅ Success includes wellbeing - how you feel matters as much as results Recovery doesn't take away your drive. It redirects it. You stop using discipline to destroy yourself and start using it to build the life you actually want. KEY QUOTES

Let's be honest: if eating disorder recovery were just about wanting it enough, none of us would be here. You'd read one book, listen to one podcast, have one "aha" moment… and boom, cured. But that's not how this works, and if you've tried to shortcut your way through recovery before, this episode is probably going to feel a little too familiar. Tweetable Quotes "If we're working toward feeling safe, toward recovery, or toward mental wellness, you cannot ever do that with a starved mind or body. It just doesn't happen." - Rachelle Heinemann "Everybody's recovery is gonna look different." - Rachelle Heinemann "If willpower worked, then you wouldn't need recovery." - Rachelle Heinemann "Insight is great, but the insight without changing the behavior is just having a very nice intellectual conversation, which really does absolutely nothing or very little to change eating disorder behaviors." - Rachelle Heinemann "Healing is not linear." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts Here!

You.In this episode, we cover:The subtle ways an eating disorder takes over your identityWhy recovery can feel unfamiliar at first (and why that's normal)What begins to return as you nourish your body and your lifeRecovery isn't just about food.

"By age 40, one in five women has dealt with an eating disorder—twice the rate we see by age 21." – Harvard UniversityWhile society often frames eating disorders as a struggle for teenagers, the reality is that women in midlife are increasingly vulnerable. In this episode, Dr. Rachel Pope addresses the "silent epidemic" affecting millions of women as they navigate the convergence of hormonal shifts, body image pressures, and life transitions.As we continue our New Year's series on weight management and GLP-1 medications, Dr. Pope is joined by internationally recognized expert Dr. Lucene Wisniewski. Together, they discuss the thin line between a healthy focus on nutrition and the onset of disordered eating. Why do perimenopause and menopause create a "biological window of risk"? How do we distinguish between "discipline" and "obsession"?Dr. Lucene Wisniewski, PhD, FAED, is a leader in eating disorder treatment and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with nearly 30 years of experience. She provides a compassionate, evidence-based look at how women can protect their mental health while pursuing physical wellness.In this episode, we discuss: The Hormonal Connection: Why the menopause transition is a high-risk period for both relapses and "de novo" (new) eating disorders. Effective vs. Rigid Eating: Moving away from black-and-white "food rules" toward a flexible, social, and balanced relationship with fuel.

You might remember Alexandra Paul as one of the stars of Baywatch or the Tom Hanks-Dan Aykroyd Dragnet film. You may not have realized that as a child and on to her long trip through the worlds of modeling and Hollywood, she was bingeing and purging and dealing with severe eating disorders. She tells us about her relationship with sugar and what food meant emotionally. Then we're joined by Dr. Cynthia Bulik, one of the top experts on eating disorders in the world today, to talk about remarkable progress in understanding the genetic components of eating disorders. Rather than blame family (especially mothers), peer pressure, or fashion culture, Dr. Bulik says some people are much more prone to developing eating disorders due to the genes they happened to get.

Psychiatrist Jennifer Derenne specializes in eating disorders. Most eating disorders begin in adolescence, but they can appear much earlier – or later – in life, too. To begin healing, Derenne works with an interdisciplinary team to first stabilize and renourish her patients and uses evidence-based psychotherapy that incorporates strong family involvement. Recent clinical studies are exploring the use of psychedelics to open new avenues for treating these notoriously hard-to-treat illnesses. Eating disorders are a life-threatening medical condition, Derenne asserts, telling host Russ Altman that “food is the best medicine” on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Many people enter eating disorder recovery believing that effort guarantees progress. Follow the meal plan. Use the coping skills. Stay consistent. When recovery still feels stuck, shame often follows. This episode explores a different truth. Recovery can stall even when you are doing everything right, and stalled progress usually reflects misalignment rather than failure. Dr. Marianne examines the hidden reasons eating disorder recovery plateaus, including nervous system overload, limited capacity, chronic stress, trauma history, neurodivergence, and lack of structural support. She explains why compliance without regulation rarely leads to sustainable healing and why recovery models that ignore real-world context can unintentionally increase distress. This conversation also centers intersectionality. Systems of oppression such as racism, anti-fat bias, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and medical discrimination shape both eating disorder development and recovery access. When treatment ignores these realities, people may feel blamed for struggles that are deeply structural. Understanding this context can transform how stalled recovery is interpreted and supported. Listeners will gain a more compassionate and clinically grounded framework for understanding recovery plateaus, along with language that reduces shame and opens space for more humane, sustainable healing paths. In This Episode Dr. Marianne explores why motivation does not equal capacity and why nervous system regulation must accompany behavior change. She discusses how grief, identity shifts, and emotional exposure often emerge during recovery and can be mistaken for failure. She also explains why neurodivergent people frequently experience recovery mismatch due to sensory, executive functioning, and interoceptive differences that traditional treatment overlooks. The episode highlights the emotional toll of constant self-monitoring, the importance of therapeutic fit, and the role of intersectional stress in shaping recovery progress. Most importantly, it reframes stalled recovery as meaningful clinical information rather than personal weakness. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for people who feel stuck in eating disorder recovery despite working hard. It is also for clinicians, loved ones, and advocates seeking a more intersectional, nervous-system-informed understanding of recovery plateaus.

NEED HELP FOR AN EATING DISORDER? Call: 888-364-5977 or head to: https://emilyprogram.com/begin-recovery/ Host Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes interviews Dr. Jillian Lampert (Vice President of Strategy and Public Affairs at The Emily Program), who explains eating disorders as mental health diagnoses that disrupt a person's relationship with food and negatively impact life, and outlines diagnoses including anorexia nervosa (including that it can occur without visible underweight), bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and OSFED; she notes orthorexia is not currently a DSM diagnosis. They discuss why athletes are at higher risk (temperament traits like persistence, rule-focus, and high standards combined with sport pressures), warning signs such as secrecy, defensiveness, and constant preoccupation with food, and serious health consequences including RED-S impacts, cardiac risk (especially with purging and electrolyte disruption), GI issues, bone and endocrine effects, and dental damage. Dr. Lampert describes The Emily Program's full continuum of care (inpatient through outpatient, including virtual options), emphasizes individualized treatment for athletes (including decisions about training/competition), and shares Jessie Diggins' public story of treatment, recovery, relapse, and ongoing support; the episode closes with encouragement to seek help by calling or requesting contact through emilyprogram.com. Dr. Jillian Lampert, PhD, MPH, RD, LD, FAED, is the Vice President of Strategy and Public Affairs for The Emily Program, a national eating disorder treatment company.

In this episode, Gaby Clarke, Clinical Dietitian at Children's Health, explains the types of eating disorders that affect kids, the signs parents should watch for and what to do if they're concerned and practical ways to support a healthy relationship with food and body image at home.

In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how the Emmy-winning and Golden Globe–winning medical drama The Pitt portrays eating disorders, emergency medicine, and bias in ways that feel both culturally meaningful and clinically relevant. She reflects on how the show separates two critical themes across seasons: the medical system's tendency to miss eating disorders in Black women, and the role of weight bias in emergency department diagnosis and care. Drawing from years of clinical experience, Dr. Miller discusses how many clients first encounter medical crisis in emergency rooms, often because of dangerously low heart rates, dizziness, fainting, or other complications linked to disordered eating. She explains how ER responses vary widely, and how bias, time pressure, and assumptions about body size or race can shape whether clinicians recognize eating disorder symptoms. The episode highlights a season two storyline in which a Black woman presents to the ER without classic eating disorder signs, making diagnosis more complex. Dr. Marianne examines why missing textbook symptoms often leads clinicians to overlook bulimia and other eating disorders, especially in populations that medicine historically underdiagnoses. She also reflects on how the show names this reality directly and why that representation matters for visibility, validation, and future care. Dr. Marianne then turns to season one's depiction of a physician challenging a resident's assumption that body weight predicts health. She explores how medical weight bias affects diagnosis, delays treatment, and reinforces stigma in emergency medicine. She also shares the change she wishes the episode had made, noting that many people with bulimia live in bodies that are not thin, and that anti-fat bias and racial bias together create additional barriers for Black women seeking care. Throughout the episode, Dr. Marianne centers a liberation-informed lens that honors intersectionality, context, nervous system safety, and autonomy in eating disorder recovery. She invites listeners to consider how accurate media representation can shift clinical awareness and expand who medicine recognizes as deserving care. You can watch The Pitt on HBO and HBO Max. Topics Covered in This Episode Eating disorders in Black women Missed diagnosis in emergency medicine Low heart rate and medical risk in eating disorders Bulimia without classic symptoms Medical weight bias in ER care Race, stigma, and underdiagnosis Media representation and clinical awareness Liberation-informed eating disorder therapy Related Episodes Boundaries, Therapy While Black, & Eating Disorders with Kaela Farrise, LMFT on Apple and Spotify.

An eating disorder can become an integral part of your identity and this can leave you feeling stuck and powerless. In this episode, I share my own experiences of recovery and detachment from the ed identity. I explore how identity can be challenging to shift but how there are practical ways to do this.

On this episode of the Just a Mom podcast, Dr. Hector Rodriguez, an integrative psychiatrist, discusses the complexities of mental health, particularly in teens and young adults. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the brain's function through tools like SPECT scans (https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/spect-scan) and the impact of societal changes, such as the pandemic, on mental health. Dr. Rodriguez provides insights into recognizing signs of mental health issues, the role of cannabis, and the necessity of building a support network for parents. He also highlights the importance of self-care for parents to effectively support their children. https://www.doctorhector.com/

On this episode, we will be sharing a story of recovery. Dr. Karen Nelson is joined by Emily, who will take us through her story of diagnosis, treatment, and what it means to live in recovery.

Dr. Kim Dennis brings a deeply integrative and courageous voice to the conversation on eating disorders, food addiction, trauma, and recovery. As a board-certified psychiatrist and the Co-Founder, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer of SunCloud Health (https://suncloudhealth.com/) she has spent more than two decades treating complex, co-occurring conditions—while also drawing from her own lived experience in long-term recovery from alcohol use disorder, bulimia, and food addiction. Dr. Dennis believes recovery must address the whole person: biological, psychological, social, and spiritual—not just symptoms or weight. A central theme of this episode is what happens when treatment doesn't work. Dr. Dennis points to a sobering reality: 30–50% of people with eating disorders do not respond to gold-standard treatments, often leaving patients believing they are broken. She challenges that narrative and argues that food addiction—particularly addiction to sugar and ultra-processed foods—is a critical and often dismissed missing piece. Drawing parallels to Big Tobacco, she explains how corporate influence, stigma, and lack of diagnostic legitimacy have delayed research funding, insurance coverage, and effective treatment, despite growing neurobiological evidence involving dopamine reward pathways, craving, withdrawal, and continued use despite harm. Dr. Dennis approaches every patient through a trauma-informed lens, emphasizing that all eating disorders and food addiction exist on a continuum shaped by disrupted safety, neglect, or adversity—what she describes as both “big T” and “little t” trauma. Rather than separating behavior from biology, she explains how trauma alters reward systems and coping mechanisms, making food a powerful regulator of emotion and survival. Her model centers on patient-led collaboration, clinical humility, and a strong therapeutic alliance—meeting people exactly where they are, without leaving them there. The conversation also explores some of the most debated issues in the field, including harm reduction versus abstinence, the eating-disorder community's resistance to food addiction, and the expanding use of GLP-1 medications. Dr. Dennis stresses that abstinence is a “tricky word” that must be defined clinically and individually—not ideologically—and that medications may have a place when used thoughtfully, transparently, and alongside comprehensive care. She closes with a message of hope: recovery is not about weight or perfection, lives do get bigger, and no one should stop seeking answers simply because one approach failed.      #eatingdisorderrecovery  #healthyliving  #obesity  #MAHA    Dr. Nicole Avena (https://www.instagram.com/drnicoleavena/?hl=en) #ashleygearhardt #foodaddiction #ultraprocessed #addictionscience  #foodfreedom

How do kids learn about bodies and food before anyone even talks about it? Zoë Bisbing, psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist, joins me to unpack the invisible lessons our kids absorb—and how parents can respond to “hard body moments” without shame or overcorrection.We talk about:* Zoë's journey from inpatient eating disorder treatment to prevention work—and how becoming a parent reshaped her lens.* What kids are really learning about bodies, food, and morality.* How to respond when a child expresses body distress.* Why tolerating “body grief” builds resilience and reduces eating disorder risk.* Why shutting down “I feel fat” with reassurance can accidentally close the door to connection.* What to actually say when your child brings you a hard body moment.* How “fix-it” energy can communicate fear—and what it looks like to tolerate discomfort instead.* Why prevention isn't about perfection, but about creating an emotional climate where kids aren't alone in their pain.* The surprisingly joyful role of simple pleasures—like toaster strudels—in fostering flexible eating.This episode isn't just for parents. We were all children once, impacted by diet culture in our family and beyond. So this is for anyone who wants to create a home where bodies and food are safe, not shameful.Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

ADHD, autism, and eating disorders through the lens of inertia. What if feeling stuck is not laziness, resistance, or lack of motivation? In this conversation, Dr. Marianne Miller speaks with ADHD and neurodivergent-affirming therapist Stacie Fanelli, LCSW, @edadhd_therapist, about how autistic inertia, ADHD hyperfocus, and executive functioning differences shape restriction, bingeing, and symptom cycling. They explore why recovery approaches built on willpower and choice can deepen shame for neurodivergent people and how capacity-aware care offers a different path. Inertia outside of the ED can be a trigger for EDs existentially because of the sense of “stuckness” it creates; then, the ED swoops in and offers a sense of control.  This episode reframes stuckness as a nervous system experience rather than a character flaw and introduces compassionate, liberation-centered recovery grounded in harm reduction, radical acceptance, and real support for neurodivergent healing.
