Last Episode in April! See you in May!   From an early age, we’re taught that lying is bad. But, is it? What drives someone to lie? Is all lying inherently bad? How does lying intersect with our internal struggles and vulnerabilities? These are
Pregnancy is beautiful (for some). Postpartum is raw. There is so much more to a person’s fertility journey than just pregnancy. But there seems to be a universal narrative surrounding pregnancy - the glow, the anticipation, the miracle of life
Has the eating disorder community pushed the envelope a little too far? It's a nuanced conversation, one that doesn't lend itself to easy answers. As we endorse concepts like health at every size, intuitive eating, and body love, are we inadver
When we talk about eating disorders, the conversation often revolves around body image – from the harmful effects of body shaming to the empowering message of body positivity. But there's another aspect of this conversation that often goes over
Everyone knows Ozempic. Everyone wants Ozempic.   There’s a sea of misinformation out there because medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become so popular. But the real question is why? These aren’t necessarily brand-new medicati
“Here’s what I eat in a day as an *insert social media influencer title here*” If you’re active on social media, chances are you have scrolled through posts like these. Whether they are “what I eat in a day” or “what I earn in a month” or whate
There’s a fine line between disordered eating and an eating disorder. These are terms we’ve all heard, but have you ever stopped to consider the difference between these labels?  Better yet, does it truly matter what the difference is? Tweetabl
“You don’t look like you would have an eating disorder.” Crazier things have never been said. Here’s the thing, eating disorders don’t have a look. It’s a myth that eating disorders are typically portrayed by a “skinny” individual. But the real
Parenthood can be both beautiful and stressful. Firstly, it’s okay to admit that. There are no sick days, there is no PTO, you work 24/7 shifts and you get paid nothing. It’s sometimes a thankless job, and you’ll never get a break. But, it’s th
Weight loss and Eating disorder treatments? Pft. Talk to the hand. Okay, let me clarify. This used to be my point of view. I couldn’t quite understand how these two topics really played into each other. Now, I don’t necessarily disagree, but I
Just last year, The American Academy of Pediatrics put out (terrible) guidelines, that in a nutshell, give the “go-ahead” to evaluate children for weight loss medication and/or surgery. Weight loss surgery is completely irreversible. So why is
Why does it feel like everyone is anti-recovery? It’s like we live in this world where everyone is either dieting, jumping on a health trend, or counting calories. Wanting to “feel healthy” is great, but the pressure to fall into some standard
As a therapist, there are so many things I wish that psychiatrists knew when it comes to eating disorders. Now before we hash this out, here’s my caveat–I am not a prescribing provider, I never went to medical school. I am a psychotherapist an
Everybody has emotions.   This isn’t a new concept. However, in more recent years, we’ve started to give names to everything as a way to “label” each other or give an overall meaning to how someone may feel, act, etc. (Labels are usually meant
Let’s get controversial.   Can the concept of medical assistance in dying be used for individuals who are suffering from “severe” and persistent eating disorders, as it is for patients who have terminal cancer?   Now, before we go anything furt
Happy New Year! Can I be honest? I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. I get that there’s this idea of a “new year, new me”. There’s almost like a fantasy of having a clean slate, when in reality, it’s just another day, in a new year. H
In today's episode, we delve into a crucial discussion about the evolving landscape of traditional eating disorder treatment. What comes to mind when you hear the term “body positivity”? First off, it’s become a mainstream concept. Body neutral
Addressing the impact of eating disorders within the Orthodox Jewish community holds personal significance for me. Within this community, there are many people who are struggling with eating disorders, and it’s crucial to explore how they are m
100% of people who struggle with their relationship with food, also struggle with assertiveness and boundaries. Okay, now that I have your attention, maybe let’s say 95% just to be safe, even though it’s 100% of the people that I’ve met. Regard
How do you do therapy? Are there “rules”? What are they? Questions most of us have probably never considered before we start therapy. When we look at how the therapeutic relationship of therapy works, we have to consider the foundation of thera
What’s the deal with our dreams? How often do you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night, from a crazy dream, wondering how you were even able to imagine it? Dreams, according to Freud, aren't mere froth. They're messages, beckoning
How do we define binge eating?  In this episode, we’re diving into all things binge eating and emotional eating. We’re breaking down what these terms mean, what they don’t mean, where they come from, and the underlying factors that contribute
There is no doubt that I disagree with diet culture. But recently I’ve been noticing that a lot of these things that frustrate me with this culture are starting to show up in the anti-diet culture as well. Between the judging, the internal sham
Feeling stuck isn't exclusive to one area of life; it can strike at any moment. Whether you're battling with your career, your relationships, or, as is often the case, your relationship with food, that suffocating feeling can be all too familia
