The Science Behind Eating Disorders & Recovery

What actually happens to your body and brain during an eating disorder? Why does food become an obsession? Why does recovery take so much longer than most people expect?In this episode, I’m breaking down the science behind eating disorders and recovery in a way that’s easy to understand. We’ll talk about how starvation changes the brain, why your body adapts the way it does, what happens to your hormones, metabolism, heart, and bones, and why recovery is about so much more than gaining weight.Whether you’re struggling yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply want to better understand eating disorders, this episode separates myths from facts and explains the biology behind what so many people experience. My hope is that you’ll leave with a better understanding of why recovery is so hard, and why your body has never been working against you. It’s been trying to keep you alive all along.
