I started developing an eating disorder when I was in my teens and it was kind of fluctuating a bit between different eating disorders. And then one thing led to another and eventually I started a podcast essentially doing the same thing. Talking about the science and psychology of eating disorders from a lived experience and also as an experienced ass and eating disorder recovery coach. Can you briefly maybe explain your eating disorder for those of us who might not be fully across what anorexia nervosa is and the difference between that and bulimia and other disorders? So I have been recovering now for 10 years and it is difficult to understand exactly why I develop an eating disorder, but hopefully this will help some people out
In this episode we break down the psychology behind eating disorders - from anorexia to bulimia and binge eating disorder. Amalie Lee, the Host of the Recovery Talk podcast joins us to discuss her own experience with anorexia and as an eating disorder recovery coach as we break down the triggers and origins of eating disorders, the misconceptions, how they impact our psychological and emotional well-being and the journey to healing and recovery.
