  1. Eating Behaviours

    VOR 4 TAGEN

    Eating Behaviours

    Eating Behaviours Today, we share some of the food habits we had during our EDs: the behaviours that felt strange, secretive or embarrassing, even whilst sick. From tiny teaspoons of peanut butter to obsessing over textures, these behaviours brought up a lot of shame and self-consciousness. We explore why they develop, how surprisingly common they are, and how starvation physiology can drive them. Looking back, we reflect on how these habits were coping strategies in a difficult situation, and how we challenged them (or how they naturally improved) over time. It can be a tricky topic to navigate, and we really want to stress the importance of understanding your body’s perspective and responding to it with compassion rather than judgement. If you can relate to any of this, we hope that by sharing our experiences, we help take some of the stigma away. Topics covered: 
* Specific cutlery * ⁠Tiny teaspoons, bites, slithers and fragments * Strange food combinations and veg bulking; pouring water on food * Obsession with textures and needing food a certain way * Spacing and timing between foods * Liquid calories * Food temperatures * What changed, how, and when?

    Q&A with Chris Sandel

    Q&A with Chris Sandel In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Sandel, founder of Seven Health, to explore some of the most common sticking points in eating disorder recovery. As a recovery coach and nutritionist, Chris’s work blends science, psychology, and behaviour change in a way that challenges so much of the superficial wellness advice currently out there and, ultimately, tries to get to the root of why people feel stuck (as well as how to unstick yourself!). So, with that in mind, we sat down with him for a Q&A covering everything from anxiety to quasi recovery, metabolic healing to goal-setting, along with why “healthy” trends can fuel eating disorders. Topics covered: 
* Chris’s background
• Viewing eating disorders through the lens of anxiety
• The power of meaningful goals in recovery
• Explaining ‘Constrained Energy Theory’
• Wellness trends that appear healthy but can fuel ED behaviours
• Why people get stuck in quasi recovery and how to break the cycle 
• Metabolic healing, extreme hunger, and appetite changes
• Rebuilding trust in hunger and fullness cues
• Understanding weight gain and what the body is actually doing Connect with us: Meg

  3. Orthorexia and “Clean Eating”

    27. FEB.

    Orthorexia and “Clean Eating”

    Orthorexia and “Clean Eating” “Wellness”. “Clean eating”. “Being healthy”. When it comes to diet, these sorts of things come up time and time again, and are often linked with concepts of discipline or even self-care. But when food choices become driven by fear and moral rules rather than nourishment or enjoyment, something else may be going on… Today, we’re looking at orthorexia: an unhealthy obsession with eating “pure” or “healthy” foods. While not formally listed in diagnostic manuals, it’s becoming increasingly acknowledged in clinical settings. Safia shares her own experience of orthorexic elements within her ED: how it initially felt health-focused, but how it became restrictive, anxiety-driven and all-consuming. We explore how wellness culture can blur the line between health and harm — why this makes orthorexia difficult to spot in the first place — and what recovery can look like. Topics covered: * What orthorexia is and where the term originated * How it differs from other eating disorders * The role of wellness culture, documentaries, and influencers * Moral ranking of foods and fear around ingredients * Excessive researching of food, nutrients, and labels * The mental, social, financial, and physical costs * Why orthorexia is so hard to spot sometimes * What recovery involves: rebuilding flexibility and redefining health Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: [hello@safiaed.com](mailto:hello@safiaed.com) Website: [https://www.safiaed.com](https://www.safiaed.com) Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

  4. Q & A with an ED Psychiatrist

    Q & A with an ED Psychiatrist

    Q&A with an ED Psychiatrist There’s often confusion about the role psychiatry plays in ED treatment, whether that’s around medication, how decisions are made, or just what ‘medical monitoring’ actually means. So, this week, we sit down with Dr Teizeem Dhanji, Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist and Eating Disorders Specialist at Sage Clinics, to answer some of the most common questions from our community. We deep-dive into a psychiatrist’s work within a multidisciplinary team; how medication can support recovery when used appropriately; the rise and impact of weight-loss drugs — and why appearing well “on paper” doesn’t mean your brain is ED-free. Dr Teizeem shares what she’s learnt from years in the field, providing fantastic insights and helping to demystify psychiatric care in recovery. Topics covered: 
* The role of a psychiatrist in eating disorder treatment
 • What drew Dr Teizeem to this area 
• The impact of medications such as Ozempic on the ED population
 • Supporting neurodiverse clients with eating disorders
• How decisions around prescribing medication are made 
• Common medications used in ED care 
• Fears and side effects associated with medication 
• Why blood tests can look “fine” while the brain is still struggling Connect with us: Meg

  5. Should I keep restoring weight?

    Should I keep restoring weight?

    Should I Continue Restoring Weight? This episode is for anyone who’s reached a point in recovery where things might “look better” on the outside – maybe eating is more regular, maybe you’ve restored some weight – and is grappling with the question: do I really need to keep going…? We talk about why this stage can be so confusing, why early progress is often mistaken for being “done”, and how both of us reached moments in our own recoveries where others thought we were fine – but internally, the eating disorder still had far too much space. By the end of the episode, we really hope to have helped you recognise that partial recovery isn’t the finish line — and why continuing can be the difference between coping and genuinely living. Topics covered: * Wondering whether continued weight restoration is really necessary * When others think you’re “better”, but something still doesn’t feel right * Why early progress is not the same as full recovery * The discomfort of partial recovery and feeling stuck in the middle * How stopping early keeps the eating disorder as a backup plan * Identity, freedom, and what hasn’t rebuilt yet * Why the life you want often sits beyond this stage of recovery Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Email: ejschone@gmail.com Podcast editor: Tallulah Self

    Q and A with our Psychologist

    Q&A with Our Clinical Psychologist So much of what we share in our work today — with clients and inside the Rewired in Action Community — comes from the time we spent working with our incredible psychologist, Carine el Khazen. Her support shaped how we learnt to tolerate change (and challenges) during recovery, and made sense of what was actually happening in the brain when an ED is in charge. In this special Q&A, Carine answers some of the most common questions we hear from our clients and wider audience. From navigating extreme hunger to sitting with discomfort, she shares her top tips, tools and reframes, drawing on the latest clinical evidence — and her own experience with both us and countless others. Topics covered: * How to know when someone is truly recovered * Learning to tolerate discomfort without avoidance * Managing extreme hunger, fatigue, and body trust * How eating disorders have changed over time * Understanding atypical anorexia and its challenges * Bigorexia, muscle focus, and when “health” becomes obsession * Why CBT-E is so effective in eating disorder treatment * One core recovery tool Carine wishes everyone had Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Carine el-Khazen Clinical Psychologist, Eating & Weight Disorders Specialist American Center for Psychiatry and Neurology (Dubai) Resources & links: * Arab Eating Disorders Association (AEDA): https://aeda.me * Instagram: @aedamiddleeast Rewired Community * Sign up here: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ [DISCLAIMER] Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.

  7. Tackling Common ED Lies

    Tackling Common ED Lies

    Tackling Common ED Lies Eating disorders are convincing — they have to be, by their very nature — so it’s no surprise that those endless cycles feel hard to break. They speak in certainty, urgency, and logic, often sounding exactly like your own thoughts. Over time, that voice can feel so familiar that it’s hard to tell where it ends and you begin. So, in this episode, we break down how eating disorders create narratives designed to keep themselves going: the lies they spin and reinforce. We talk through why recovery can feel so wrong at first and how “health” messaging often gets hijacked, plus how nourishment and consistency genuinely change the brain over time — neural rewiring really is a thing! Topics covered: * How eating disorders create a voice that feels like you * The difference between the ED voice and your real voice (your Healthy Self) * How restriction rewires the brain towards fear and threat * The way EDs hijack health and wellness advice * Common lies eating disorders use to stay in control * Why recovery actions can feel dangerous at first * Learning to separate yourself from the disorder * How the brain heals and the ED voice quietens over time Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone DISCLAIMER Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.

  8. UPFs & Nutrition Noise with Maeve Hanan RD

    UPFs & Nutrition Noise with Maeve Hanan RD

    UPFs & Nutrition Noise with Maeve Hanan RD For many, all the recent noise around ultra-processed foods (and diet culture generally) is making recovery really tough. The constant chatter on what to eat — what not to eat — and how to eat is hard at the best of times, and that’s without an ED brain. With that in mind, we’re joined by Registered Dietitian Maeve Hanan to tackle some of this noise head-on. Maeve is a specialist dietitian with over 12 years’ experience, and who now focuses on supporting those stuck in food rules and anxiety. Along the way, we unpack the myths around UPFs, nutrition misinformation, and why so much of this messaging can be harmful for people with EDs — as well as some of the ways to protect your recovery going forwards. Topics covered: * What ultra-processed food actually means * Where current UPF fear messaging comes from * Correlation vs causation in nutrition research * Why nutrition knowledge can increase food anxiety * Ultra-processed foods in recovery and long-term health * Preference vs fear when avoiding foods * Weight gain, feared foods, and blame * Using the ACT matrix to support recovery Connect with us: Meg Instagram: @megsy_recovery YouTube: Megsy Recovery TikTok: megsy recovery Safia Instagram: @safia_edrecoverycoach Email: hello@safiaed.com Website: https://www.safiaed.com Maeve Hanan — Dietetically Speaking Website: https://dieteticallyspeaking.com Instagram: @dieteticallyspeaking Em (copywriter & editor) Instagram: @em_schone Resources mentioned: * The ACT Matrix – https://youtu.be/cCCSpOtDPV0?si=Jf-ezp7zjsr5Wlw9 [DISCLAIMER] Please keep in mind we’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.
