Health, Self-Care & Beyond

Health After Disordered Eating

You recovered from an eating disorder years ago and now enjoy a healthy relationship with food, but your body is struggling. You don’t feel well. Your labs are off, your hormones are out of balance, everything just feels worse than it should.

You believe you can improve your health with different food choices and habits, but you aren’t willing to risk going back into rigid food rules or obsessive thinking. You need help but you are wary of recommendations from the health & wellness world which is likely to funnel you into weight-loss, and the ED recovery world which cautions you against any changes for fear of reigniting the disorder.

I help people by bridging the gap between the two extremes of control: the side that says we have complete control over our body, and the side that says we have no control. (Read more here.)

You are ready for this work if:

The thought of eliminating a food (if need be) doesn’t trigger you into restriction or all-or-nothing eating.
Your health is more important to you than your appearance.
You’re starting to think about long-term healthy aging and preventing chronic illness.
Or you’re dealing with a significant health issue and believe changing your diet can improve, or reverse, the disease

Self-Care & Thriving

On this path, you’re ready to address other coping mechanisms and self-care issues like exercise, sleep, stress management, alcohol or other psychotropic substance use, phone addiction, spending habits and relationship issues. You can see patterns in these issues that stem from the same kind of beliefs and thoughts that once ruled your eating. It is very common that for those of us that once struggles with all-or-nothing eating to struggling with all-or-nothing work/rest, spending/saving, friendships/isolation, etc. Being able to focus on these areas of your life brings a new level of peace and trust in yourself.

With regard to your physical health, because you've laid such a solid foundation, you are ready and eager to make adjustments and experiment with health behaviors to see how much better you can feel. Fine tuning, getting into the details or taking your health protocol to the next level. This could mean experimenting with a specialized diet, like ketogenic, or addressing candida overgrowth, liver detox. It could also look like fine-tuning other factors that impact your health, like personal care products & environmental toxins, reduing EMF exposure, and beyond. It's your body, you get to choose how you want to care for it and experiment to find what makes you feel best.
