It's National Service Dog Month and we're honoring the dogs from Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD). We talked with two veterans whose stories demonstrate how these dogs truly save lives. We begin with a look at the military service of Marine Corps Sgt Major John Ploskonka and Army Cavalry veteran and Purple Heart recipient Phil Bauer. Bauer shared memories of the Chinook helicopter crash which resulted in the loss of his leg and Ploskonka shares how life after the military became a struggle, as he grappled with suppressed childhood trauma. Both offered a glimpse of what it's like living with anger, paranoia and constant anxiety. Until the dogs entered their life. They each described how these dogs respond to their unique needs and the astounding ways they can read their minds. We also hear a fascinating scientific theory about they're capable of doing it.

In school to become a dietitian, I was struggling massively in my relationship with food.   Weekly binge episodes that felt like an addict getting their fix - lying, stealing and hiding so I could eat, then crying and feeling depressed for days after.   Intense anxiety in any situation that was off my “usual routine” with food - holidays, parties, restaurant meals.   I distinctly remember one day, sitting in lecture and learning about eating disorders.   The words “Anorexia Nervosa” plastered across the big projector in front of class.   Pictured was an emaciated woman standing in front of a mirror that reflected a larger bodied lady back at her.   I resonated with all the big 3 eating disorders, but not fully.   I had the extreme fear of weight gain of anorexia, but I was never clinically under weight.   I had at times fasted, exercised more, or used laxatives after a binge - but not frequently enough to be classified as bulimic.   I struggled with the binge eating episodes described in binge eating disorder - but I DID compensate sometimes after a binge.   “So”, I reasoned, “I don't have any eating disorder. It must really just be a will power issue then.”   And I went back on my not-so-merry way, reading articles from my favorite fitpros every night with advice on how to stick to your plan with food to reach your physique goals.   If you can relate, I want you to know these 3 things:   ➡️ Relationship with food is a spectrum from normal, healthy eating to a full blown eating disorder.   ➡️ “Disordered eating” has serious mental and physical health consequences and requires specific solutions to heal from (hint: not general advice from fit pros or wellness influencers).   ➡️ The vast majority of disordered eating involves food restriction, and you can be unhealthily restricting food while still being at a “healthy weight”.   The sooner you take your issues seriously, the sooner you can be free from them.   This episode of The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast unpacks eating disorders vs disordered eating and gives you resources for healing!   Learn more about my group program + book a free discovery call: bit.ly/normaleater   Contact me: DM me on Instagram @elenakunickird      Email me at elena@elenakunicki.com   Eating Disorder Helplines:   Australia  The Butterfly Foundation: Phone: 1800 334 673 | Email: support@thebutterflyfoundation.org.au InsideOut Institute: Phone: (02) 8627 5690 | Email: admin@insideoutinstitute.org.au   Eating Disorders Victoria: Phone: 1300 550 236 | Email: hub@eatingdisorders.org.au  Eating Disorders Queensland: Phone: (07) 3844 6055  Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders: Phone (AU): +61 491 134 289 | Phone (NZ): +64 9 887 0552 | Email: anzaed@anzaed.org.au  New Zealand Canopy Eating Disorder Support Services: Email: info@canopyeds.co.nz  EDANZ: Phone: 0800 233 269 | Email: info@ed.org.nz  United States National Eating Disorders Association: Phone: 1-800-931-2237 | Email: info@nationaleatingdisorders.org  National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders: Phone: 1-888-375-7767 | Email: hello@anad.org  The Alliance for Eating Disorders: Phone: 1-866-662-1235 Canada Body Brave: Phone: 1-905-312-9628 | Email: info@bodybrave.ca  National Eating Disorder Information Centre: Phone: 1800 866 NEDIC 20 (1-866-633-4220) | Email: nedic@uhn.ca  National Initiative for Eating Disorders: Email: info@nied.ca  United Kingdom BEAT Eating Disorders: Phone: +44 (0)808 801 0677 | Email: help@beateatingdisorders.org.uk Ireland Bodywhys: The Eating Disorders Association of Ireland: Phone: 01 – 2107906 | Email: info@bodywhys.ie Denmark LMS: The National Association against Eating Disorders and Self-Harm: Phone: 7010 1818 | SMS 7710 1818 | Email: info@lmsos.dk Norway Norwegian Society for Eating Disorders: Email: therese.f.mathisen@hiof.no The Eating Disorders Association: Phone: 22 94 00 10 | Email: post@spisfo.no  Middle East Middle East Eating Disorders Association: Email: info@meeda.me  South Africa Eating Disorders South Africa: Phone: (+27) 073 593 2722 | Email: info@edsa.co.za Project HEAL: https://www.theprojectheal.org/what-program-is-right-for-you Citations: Types of Eating Disorders: https://nedc.com.au/eating-disorder-resources/find-resources/show/issue-13-dsm-5-overview-of-changes Eating Disorder Statistics: https://anad.org/eating-disorder-statistic/ DSM 5 binge eating disorder: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK338301/table/introduction.t1/ DSM 5 anorexia nervosa: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519712/table/ch3.t15/ DSM 5 bulimia nervosa: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK519712/table/ch3.t16/

What is alive in you right now? What does it mean to return to the body as the place where we experience life? The concept of embodiment has become more present in the lexicon of body image and body liberation. While deeply important to our collective divestment from diet culture, exploring your own embodiment may feel confusing, intangible, or incongruent with your lived experience. Neathery Falchuk, LCSW-S, CGP (they/them) joins us this week to dig all the way in: What is embodiment, really? What does it look like? Feel like? Is it a destination, or something different? And how can we practice it?  We're diving into the answers to these questions and more with the amazing, wise, funny, Neathery -- who also speaks to intersectionality in embodiment as a queer, trans and non-binary, fat, neurodivergent, white Latinx therapist.  I can't wait to hear from you on this episode. I think it will bring together a lot of things we've been talking about on the show: from our relationship with food, to the identities we hold, and what it means to experience the world in the body we have. We discuss so (so!) much in this one, including… What's on Neathery's plate (hint: baby-led weaning and oatmeal) Neathery's experience of disembodiment as a queer and trans teen How disordered eating develops without embodiment Why embodiment isn't always a positive experience Barriers to embodiment, including those we can't control Working through trauma and the importance of co-regulation Self-compassion as a tool to connect to ourselves Learning to trust the wisdom of our body Grief work and its connection to embodiment The need for more access to supportive communities in the embodiment and body liberation space   Neathery Falchuk (they/them) is a queer, trans and non-binary, fat, neurodivergent, white Latinx therapist, licensed clinical social worker supervisor, certified group psychotherapist, certified Body Trust® provider, and certified meditation teacher. Neathery is the founder of Ample and Rooted, an inclusive psychotherapy, consulting, and training practice specializing in working with LGBTQ+ communities, eating disorders, body shame, sex and sexuality, gender, relationship concerns, trauma, mindfulness, grief and loss, and substance use. Neathery currently serves on the program committee for Project HEAL and is a past President of Central Texas Eating Disorder Specialists, past board member of Austin Group Psychotherapy Society and former chair of the DEI Committee, and past board member of the Association for Size Diversity and Health. Neathery lives in Austin, TX with their wife and child and enjoys hiking, meditation, sipping coffee on patios, and starting and never finishing books.   Support the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Media often tends to focus on and center emaciated, thin, young white adolescents who are hospitalized due to medical complications of malnourishment when speaking on the topic of eating disorders. We don't often hear stories of Black girls with anorexia, Black men struggling with body image, Black families and the impact of these narrow stereotypes on limiting care and life-saving access to care. Today's episode was recorded almost half a year ago, but it still rings so important. Mimi talks with Dr. Erikka Dzirasa, MD about messages we received around mental health growing up and our work as Black healthcare providers in the eating disorder field. *The title was tricky for me to think about, I wanted to capture how Black children experience eating disorders because the narrative is lacking. I also wanted to capture that little Black girls and Black men and non-binary and trans Black people experience eating disorders. Blackness and eating disorders aren't mutually exclusive. I landed on Black Young Girls because that is the experience I can speak to the most and we need more voices. And also, one podcast episode doesn't capture the whole Black experience of eating disorders, there is so much complexity. So just narrowing in on some aspects here. I've also since read the book, It's Always Been Ours by Jessica Wilson, MS, RD, which has been absolutely incredible, I highly recommend reading! We talk about.. Black families and eating disorder care Messages prominent in many Black families around mental health The need for more representation within the field of eating disorder care How stereotypes lead to lack of early diagnosis and are life-threatening Dr. Dzirasa's leadership positions within Arise and Project HEAL, and the importance of diversity within organizations providing care Erikka Dzirasa, MD, MPH, DFAACAP is a double-board certified Child and Adult Psychiatrist who brings more than 10 years of deep expertise in eating disorders and mental health since first seeking out specialized training while in Duke University's residency and fellowship programs. She previously served as the Medical Director of an Eating Disorders specialty hospital system, leading policy and program development to deliver high-quality, effective care in their intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP), residential and inpatient units for people living with eating disorders. Erikka is currently Chair of the Board of Directors of Project HEAL, a leading eating disorder nonprofit breaking down systemic barriers and providing education and supportive resources to people of all identities and background experiencing eating disorders. She is a partner in Catalyst Therapeutic Services, a private practice in Durham, NC and a Consulting Associate at Duke University Medical Center. As a mental health advocate, she also serves on the Race, Ethnicity and Equity committee for the North Carolina Psychiatric Association, and is the immediate Past President of the North Carolina Council of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. Dr. Dzirasa earned her Bachelor of Science at Spelman College, Master of Public Health in Health Care and Leadership at UNC Chapel Hill, and her Doctor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine. She is also a certified yoga instructor.  Find Dr. Dzirasa at: IG: @dr.erikka Arise: www.wearearise.com/about Find Mimi at: Main IG: @the.lovelybecoming Podcast IG: @lovelybecomingpodcast Website: www.mimi-cole.com

"The best research says that your best chance of a strong and lasting recovery is once you get to a place of nutritional rehabilitation and stay with your same care team for 6-12 months afterwards to stay in relapse prevention and work on all the comorbidities [anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and substance use] that exist with an eating disorder.

It's tender; enjoy listening and check out links for more information about Project HEAL below: . https://www.theprojectheal.org/ Treatment Funding Assistance Program @projectheal on Instagram . Rebecca Eyre (she/her) is the CEO of Project HEAL, the leading national nonprofit focused on equitable access to eating disorder support. Project HEAL offers direct services to people who are unable to access treatment, providing free treatment, assessments, cash assistance, insurance navigation support, and community education. Rebecca is a licensed mental health therapist who has been treating individuals with eating disorders for over a decade, and she's a vocal advocate at the intersection of eating disorders and social justice.

Hangout with us this week as we are joined by Rob @advrob from Project Heal The Land. Ever wondered how you can give back and help keep the trails and outdoors you love open. Learn more about this charity and how you can get involved with the community. Including getting those who have never experienced the great outdoors the proper education on how to treat and enjoy the land and not squander our precious resource that is consistently being challenged. Rob also fills us in on the actual science of how they go about planting new trees. Not as simple as you'd expect. Plus Rob is not new to the offroad scene. He's had his share of badass Jeeps and you'll probably see him rollin in a nicely setup Sprinter van!

Project Heal is on a mission to break down systemic healthcare and financial barriers to eating disorder treatment. Of the 30 million people in the U.S. who are diagnosed with an eating disorder (meaning the number is larger including undiagnosed), less than 20% ever receive treatment. This is a huge problem considering eating disorders are the second most fatal mental illness. In this episode, I speak with Project Heal's CEO, Rebecca Eyre, as she explains how the broken healthcare system prevents marginalized communities, such as the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, from accessing eating disorder treatment due to a number of barriers. She also shares the amazing services that Project Heal offers, including clinical assessments, treatment placement, cash assistance and insurance navigation. If you struggle with an eating disorder and have not been able to access treatment, or you're a provider who wants to learn how to be a part of the solution, then make sure to tune in!What we cover in this episode: About Project Heal—its mission, vision and services. An alarming overview of eating disorder, treatment and recovery stats. Common barriers that people face that present them from getting treatment.Why it's imperative to improve the system to provide equitable access for treatment for marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.Long-term solutions to change the system and enable treatment to all.How you can apply for treatment support if you have an eating disorder.If you're a provider, how you can support Project Heal and get involved. About Rebecca EyreRebecca Eyre is the Chief Executive Officer of Project Heal and a therapist by trade, having treated eating disorders and trauma since 2011. She brings a clinical lens and programmatic focus to her leadership of the organization. Rebecca's passion for ensuring that eating disorder healing is possible for everyone has personal roots. Professionally, her experience ranges from eating disorder treatment settings to corporate philanthropy to academic fundraising. The unifying thread of Rebecca's career is her sincere belief in human and systemic capacity for change. She is striving to advance real change within the eating disorder field- amplifying those who have too long been ignored and excluded and expanding the field so it's both big enough and safe enough for everyone who needs it.
