35 - Navigating your Child's Mental Health from a Parent's Perspective with Gavin Buchalter.

Hello Humans! Welcome to the 35th Show housed in “The Human Theatre”. Today’s show is a very meaningful one, in which I welcome my dad, Gavin Buchalter, back onto the Podcast to share SOME (emphasis on SOME - because post-recording we realised how much more there was to say!), of his revelations that he has learnt throughout the years of my life, that he wishes he had known. It’s totally a case of “If I knew then, what I know now”. We really wanted to shed some hope in that whatever you or a loved one are going through, relief and serenity is possible. We also really wanted to remind you that no one was born to suffer. Today, my dad and I elaborate on some of my dad’s biggest revelations that he wishes he knew earlier to prevent the severity of repercussions of anorexia, bulimia and anxiety experienced by myself, but also my family. The main points we discuss are; the difference between an abstainer vs a moderator, understanding the root cause of eating disorders, how to communicate with someone with an eating disorder and the importance of understanding metabolic and hormonal functioning in the human body. I hope you enjoy the geeky deep dive as much as we did recording it.
