Eating Disorder Recovery, Chronic Pain, Perfectionism, Over-Exercise and Healing the Nervous System, with Dr Kelly Kessler

Today I’m talking to Dr. Kelly Kessler, a licensed physical therapist, wellness coach, host of the podcast Rewiring Health, and the founder of Optimal You Health and Wellness, LLC. Kelly teaches women who have a history of an eating disorder how to regulate their nervous system to achieve relief from chronic pain through her signature method, Eating Disorder Pain Solutions. Inspired by her own journey of recovering from an eating disorder and chronic back pain, Kelly has helped many women harness their profound ability to shift from survival mode to thriving. Kelly uses an integrative approach to healing including a personalized audit, education, community support, and actionable steps to create long-lasting results. In this episode, Kelly talks about her healing journey, moving from the depths of an eating disorder, perfectionism and over-exercise obsession, through managing chronic back-pain in the aftermath, to finding true healing today. It’s an inspiring episode to offer hope for anyone who is feeling stuck in the depths of an eating disorder, whilst feeling huge anxiety about letting it go. Kelly talks about the work she does today with her clients and the essential recovery work she has navigated in healing her nervous system. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
