Season 1 Episode 6 Why Weight Gain Happens in Recovery

 Weight gain is one of the most feared—and misunderstood—parts of eating disorder recovery. In this episode of the Congruent Health Podcast, Tracy takes an honest and compassionate look at why weight gain often occurs during recovery, why it is not a sign of failure, and how fear of weight gain can keep people stuck in partial recovery for years. Drawing from both personal recovery experience and more than two decades of clinical work, Tracy explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual factors that influence body weight during the healing process. She discusses weight suppression, metabolic adaptation, hunger and fullness relearning, emotional eating, underlying health conditions, and the impact of trauma on the body. Most importantly, she challenges the belief that recovery success should be measured by a number on the scale. www.tracybrownrd.com/get-started
