HEALING 101: Early Signs, Hidden Struggles & Hope in Eating Disorders with Dr Anna Colton

If you're a parent, a loved one, or just someone who’s struggled with food or body image – this episode is essential listening. I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Anna Colton, clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist, for a conversation that is raw, practical, and full of compassion. We explore the early warning signs of eating disorders, why binge eating is so misunderstood, and how things like orthorexia and ARFID can quietly take root – especially in a culture obsessed with control and “clean” eating.Anna has this amazing way of cutting through shame and helping us see these behaviours for what they really are: ways of coping with deep pain. Whether you're navigating this yourself, or supporting someone you love, I hope this episode brings clarity, comfort, and a big exhale.Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our paid partner.
