"An eating disorder starts out as a way to gain control, until it starts controlling you." In this episode, we explore the scientific research on the role control plays in eating disorders and the different reasons it manifests. With an eating disorder, food, weight, appearance, and self-concept become meticulously managed and controlled. You may find that your life gets organized around routines and behaviors that provide a sense of safety and familiarity because when we feel a lack of control in our lives, we seek to make our environments and lives predictable. _______________________________________BEYOND BODY is now open for applications! What exactly is Beyond Body?Beyond Body is 6 month body image accelerator program that provides the guidance, structure, practices, and support you need to make peace with negative body image.It's a premium high-touch program for women in their mid to late 30's, 40's, and 50's who want to come alive and feel more confident and empowered in the skin they're in.

You may know Nia as @thefriendineverwanted online, where they share messages about eating disorder recovery, body liberation, fat activism, body acceptance, and more. In November 2023, Nia released their first book titled What's the Story?: A Guided Walkthrough of the Stories You Tell Yourself About Your Body. In this episode, they join host Andrea Wells to discuss this book and share their experience of pursuing eating disorder recovery as a queer black person in a larger body.Take a listen to hear how you can rewrite your own body story, and how advocating for body liberation can be an important part of the recovery process (no matter what size your body is).Key Takeaways from the episode:Body Neutrality: Nia Patterson introduces the concept of body acceptance spectrum, emphasizing that aiming for body tolerance is a valid step in recovery, rather than solely aiming for body love or acceptance. This nuanced approach allows individuals to acknowledge where they are in their recovery journey and sets realistic goals for progress.Early Focus on Body Liberation: Nia stresses the importance of addressing body liberation as an early step in the recovery process, challenging the traditional approach that prioritizes it as a later concern. This shift in mindset can revolutionize how we support individuals in their recovery journeys.Combatting Internalized Fatphobia: The episode delves into the impact of internalized fat phobia and societal beauty standards on individuals' mental health.
