35. Is full recovery from an eating disorder possible? Ft. Brooke Glazer

The Food Therapy Podcast

In today’s episode, we speak to Brooke Glazer, a registered dietitian, who specializes in helping people with eating disorders and disordered eating and healing their relationship with food in their bodies. Brooke believes that full recovery of an eating disorder is absolutely possible and wants to help people get there. During our conversation, Brooke speaks about recovering from her own eating disorder and how she uses her own experience to help others recover. She shares why your relationship to food (how you think about it and feel about it) is integral to recovery, things to look out for if you suspect someone may have an eating disorder, and why it can be hard to seek support when you think you’re not “sick enough”.
