Just Having an Eating Disorder Makes You Sick Enough With Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani

We are finally back with another episode, and this one is such a meaningful conversation with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, founder of the Gaudiani Clinic and author of Sick Enough. Dr. G brings so much compassion, clarity, and nuance to understanding eating disorders, undernourishment, and the medical realities through a weight-inclusive lens. This conversation is full of reminders that eating disorders make sense, bodies are not broken, and healing requires support, nourishment, attunement, and deep respect for someone’s lived experience. What we talk about with Dr. G:<ul><li>The connection between weight stigma and eating disorders</li><li>The cave person brain and how the body and mind respond to food restriction</li><li>Why feeling “out of control” around food isn’t a lack of willpower or a sugar addiction</li><li>How someone’s ability to sustain restriction can change over time </li><li>Fears about letting go of eating rules and post-restriction primal eating </li><li>How weight stigma reinforces restriction </li><li>The different genetic variations in how someone’s body responds to under-eating</li><li>The different layers of the concept of Sick Enough </li><li>Developmental needs and how they connect to EDs</li><li>How an ED makes sense and we need to honor someone’s lived experience</li><li>The importance of attunement and learning how to self-attune and self-regulate in recovery</li><li>Menopause, ageism, body changes throughout life, and the common ED fear that someone needs less food when recovering later in life </li><li>How the metabolism actually works </li><li>The normalization of under-eating in our culture </li></ul> Buy the book: Sick Enough 2nd Ed. https://www.amazon.com/Sick-Enough-Jennifer-L-Gaudiani/dp/1041036485 Link to The Gaudiani Clinic's website: https://www.gaudianiclinic.com/ Get in Touch With UsKate Ely<ul><li>IG: @recoverwithkate </li><li>Email: kate@recoverwithkate.com </li><li>Coaching Website: <a href="https://www.recoverwithkate.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠recoverwithkate.com⁠⁠⁠</a></li><li>Therapy Website: <a href="https://rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely⁠⁠</a></li></ul>Pamela St. Clair<ul><li>IG: @pamelaevarecovery </li><li>Email: hello@pamelaevarecovery.com</li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.pamelaevarecovery.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠pamelaevarecovery.com⁠</a></li></ul> Disclaimer: The content in this podcast reflects our own experiences and opinions and our guests and should not be taken as mental health or medical advice.

What If I Don't Have A Why?

This episode is for anyone who has ever believed they don’t have a reason to recover or they don’t have anything to recover to or for. It’s for those who can be overlooked in the conversations about reasons for recovery. We offer a different perspective on this question and share how our versions of a WHY looked different than the reasons we tend to hear about. In this episode we discuss:<ul><li>The misperception of needing a big, grand why in order to recover</li><li>The reasons we often hear intended to inspire recovery </li><li>Who tends to get left out of the conversation</li><li>Why these reasons didn’t capture our experience </li><li>Why someone might not have a why yet </li><li>How believing we need a big, grand why can keep us stuck</li><li>What to do when you don’t believe you have a why</li><li>Why identifying a why can make a difference</li><li>The paradox: Whys grow with change </li><li>Life can be hard: we are still grateful everyday to not be dealing with an ED even during the hardest moments </li></ul> Reflection Questions <ul><li>What is happening to me and my life when I live it with an eating disorder?</li><li>What don’t I want anymore?</li><li>When I think about my life 1 year from now, how do I want to feel? What do I want to be different?</li><li>What would be worth doing something hard and uncomfortable for?</li><li>How do you want to feel when you look back on your life? How does your current life align or not align with that? </li><li>What worries a part of me about living without an ED? What does this part need from me right now to feel a little less worried? </li></ul> Get in Touch With UsKate Ely<ul><li>IG: @recoverwithkate </li><li>Email: kate@recoverwithkate.com </li><li>Coaching Website: <a href="https://www.recoverwithkate.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠recoverwithkate.com⁠⁠</a></li><li>Therapy Website: <a href="https://rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely⁠</a></li></ul>Pamela St. Clair<ul><li>IG: @pamelaevarecovery </li><li>Email: hello@pamelaevarecovery.com</li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.pamelaevarecovery.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠pamelaevarecovery.com</a></li></ul> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/eatingdisorderecovery" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠Join our Facebook Peer Support Group⁠⁠</a> Disclaimer: The content in this podcast reflects our own experiences and opinions and our guests and should not be taken as mental health or medical advice.

You Can't Hack Recovery

Join us as we explore what it means to try to hack eating disorder recovery. We look at the subtle and not-so-subltle ways we try to bypass the healing process and how this is a part of the grief process of losing an eating disorder. We share common examples of what hacking recovery can look like, including the ways we tried to hack our own recoveries. We talk in depth about why hacking attempts leads to stuckness. Most importantly, we discuss what meaningful recovery requires and why surrender is often the turning point bringing our path out of an eating disorder into focus. In this episode we discuss:<ul><li>What does it mean to try to hack recovery </li><li>Hacking as a part of the bargaining stage of grief </li><li>Common examples of trying to hack recovery </li><li>How we tried to hack recovery </li><li>Why hacking fails every time </li><li>The hidden costs of hacking </li><li>What actually helps you move forward </li></ul> <li>Disclaimer: The content in this podcast reflects our own experiences and opinions and our guests and should not be taken as mental health or medical advice. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/eatingdisorderecovery">⁠Join our Facebook Peer Support Group⁠</a> Get in Touch With UsKate Ely<ul><li>IG: @recoverwithkate </li><li>Email: kate@recoverwithkate.com </li><li>Coaching Website: <a href="https://www.recoverwithkate.com/">⁠⁠recoverwithkate.com⁠⁠</a></li><li>Therapy Website: <a href="https://rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely/">⁠rachelmillnertherapy.com/kate-ely⁠</a></li></ul>Pamela St. Clair<ul><li>IG: @pamelaevarecovery </li><li>Email: hello@pamelaevarecovery.com</li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.pamelaevarecovery.com/">⁠⁠pamelaevarecovery.com</a></li></ul></li>
