What happens when “just eat” isn't the solution, and the stakes are literally life or death? Picture this: you're at the dinner table. Your teenager is glaring at you like you've personally served up their worst nightmare—maybe broccoli, maybe a slice of pizza, who knows? They shout, “You're ruining my life!” Meanwhile, you're just trying to figure out if this counts as “parenting” or if you're starring in some twisted reality show. In this episode, I'm joined by Susannah Neufeld—a licensed psychotherapist, certified eating disorder specialist and consultant, author, and all-around badass about how FBT turns the chaos of food fights into moments of healing. Spoiler alert: it's as heartwarming as it is messy. Tweetable Quotes "You know your kid the best, and I know a lot about eating disorders, and we're going to work together to figure this out." - Suzannah Neufeld "When your kid yells at you, you're getting a gift because you're getting to see what's happening inside their head... if you can respond to it with strength and love, they're going to internalize that." - Suzannah Neufeld "FBT really supports the idea that the kid is not alone in it. They're part of a team working on this." - Suzannah Neufeld "The kid is not the one who's lying. The kid is not the one who might hide the food. That's the illness. That's the eating disorder that's doing that." - Suzannah Neufeld "I'm not going to be the person who saves you or your family. You're saving your own life, and I'm on the journey with you." - Rachelle Heinemann  Resources A network that supports the Bay Area ED care community.

One of the teachings that has changed my life more than any other is the first hermetic principle, which states that the universe is mental. For me, I translate this into the notion that nothing in our lives is objective in nature & in actuality, everything is subjective based on the story/narrative we give it. As such, one could theorize that our fulfillment, joy & ultimate success in life can be characterized by what type of story teller we are & the degree to which the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves & life as a whole are empowering & uplifting, rather than disempowering & draining. Todays guest on the show is a returning guest, dear friend of mine & is someone who has assisted me in creating the most powerful & potent stories from which I can express myself through & share myself with the world as a result of & in this episode, we dive deep into what's been transpiring in his life, the power of these stories & much, much more. Show Notes:(0:42) Kyle Gray's Bio.(02:56) An update from Kyle.(06:08) 5MEO-DMT Experience.(10:10 Celebrate your wins!(17:16) Advice vs. the answer…(33:10) Netflix vs. Gaia.(40:42) Knowing what you don't want.(56:55) MDMA- (58:33) Where you can reach Kyle!Join the Highly Optimized Ceremony Circle on Facebook! https://www.highlyoptimized.me This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.https://www.highlyoptimized.me
