Rigidity & Routine

Rigidity & Routine One of the things we see time and time again – both in ourselves and in the people we work with – is just how overwhelmingly rigid routines take over life when you’re struggling with an ED. With this in mind, this week, we’re exploring the many ways rigidity can show up in an eating disorder: safe foods, strict timings, movement routines, rituals, certainty-seeking, and the feeling that everything has to be done in a particular way. We look at why this happens, including the impact of starvation on the brain, and how even the most concrete rigidities can soften with adequate nourishment. Most importantly, we talk about the freedom that comes when life no longer has to revolve around rules, routines, and getting everything “right”. Topics covered: • What rigidity can look like in eating disorders • How starvation and energy deficit affect cognitive flexibility • Safe foods, food rules, brands, timings, and meal routines • Rigidity around movement and exercise • Certainty-seeking and needing things done a particular way • The role of personality, temperament, and neurodivergence • Why rigidity can feel safe even when it’s causing harm • Challenging rigidity in recovery • The concept of recovery momentum and neural pathways • The freedom that comes from expanding life beyond the eating disorder For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ 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 Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

Orthorexia with Florence Gillet

Orthorexia with Florence Gillet For many people, orthorexia begins with a genuine wish to feel better, improve health, manage symptoms, or solve a problem. But when food rules become rigid and anxiety around eating grows, it can become difficult to see where self-care ends and obsession begins. This week, we’re joined by Florence Gillet, Certified Eating Psychology Coach and founder of Beyond Body Image. Florence shares her personal experience of developing orthorexia after changing her diet to improve her skin, and reflects on how behaviours that appeared healthy from the outside gradually became restrictive and all-consuming. We also explore the overlap between wellness culture and EDs — including the impact of elimination diets — and why rebuilding trust in your body can be the most health-affirming choice of all. Topics covered:  * Florence’s background and the work she does today • When self-care becomes rigidity and obsession • Spotting orthorexia red flags • The impact of restriction on hunger, fullness, and social eating • Letting go of food rules during recovery • Restriction in the name of gut health or clear skin • Challenging fears around inflammation, toxins, and "bad" foods • The role of black-and-white thinking in orthorexia • Considerations for healthcare professionals For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ Connect with us: Florence Gillet Instagram: @beyond.bodyimage Website: https://www.beyondbodyimage.com/about/ 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 Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] 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.

Pregnancy & ED Recovery

Pregnancy & ED Recovery Eating disorders aside, pregnancy can bring up all sorts of feelings and challenges for people. However, in this episode, we talk about why this stage of life can feel particularly complex when your relationship with food, weight, and body has been difficult in the past. Drawing on our own experiences, we unpack some of the things that did, or can, feel hard: body changes, weight gain, medical appointments, food and movement advice, or just the uncertainty that comes with your body doing something you can’t fully control. We also look at how ED thoughts can resurface during pregnancy, alongside some practical tools and tips to combat them. And finally, we’ll be reflecting on how pregnancy can strengthen recovery — offering an opportunity to practise trust and self-advocacy — as well as modelling the relationship with food and body image you want for your child. Topics covered:  * Why pregnancy can feel triggering in ED recovery • Body changes, weight gain, and navigating medical weigh-ins • The fear of losing control over your body • Food rules, nutrition messaging and advice • Movement during pregnancy • Recognising signs that pregnancy may be triggering old patterns • Advocating for yourself with healthcare professionals • Recovery tools and tips • How becoming a parent can strengthen recovery motivation • Why struggling with triggers doesn’t mean recovery is “going wrong” For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ 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 Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

Extreme Hunger with Amalie Lee

Extreme Hunger with Amalie Lee Extreme hunger can be one of the most frightening, confusing, and misunderstood parts of ED recovery. As coaches, we hear so many clients say they’re scared they’ve suddenly lost control — especially in a culture that constantly pathologises hunger and appetite. To help challenge this, we’re joined by fellow recovery coach, podcast host, and founder of Let’s Recover, Amalie Lee, to unpack what extreme hunger actually is, including how restriction — even subtle or mental restriction — can keep it going. Drawing on both her professional work and lived experience of anorexia recovery, Amalie shares a compassionate, evidence-based insight into the biology of starvation, rebuilding trust with your body, and why this phase is far more common than people realise. Topics covered:  * What extreme hunger is and why it happens in recovery  • The difference between extreme hunger and binge eating  • Fear of “never stopping” or feeling out of control  • Rebuilding trust with your body after restriction  • How mental and physical restriction can prolong hunger  • Amalie’s personal experience of extreme hunger  • Doubting the recovery process and what helped her keep going  • Why extreme hunger can fluctuate during recovery • What hunger and fullness can look like long-term after recovery For more info or to sign up to the Rewired Community: https://rewiredinaction2.carrd.co/ Connect with us: Amalie Lee Instagram: @amalielee Instagram: @letsrecover.co.uk Website: https://www.letsrecover.co.uk 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 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, as well as that of our guests, so it shouldn’t be taken as medical advice.

Why Can’t I Just Recover?

Why can’t I just recover? Anyone who has struggled with an ED knows that wanting recovery and actually doing it can feel miles apart. You might know you need to gain weight and want things to change — yet still find yourself stuck in the same loop when it comes to food. We reflect on how this back-and-forth cropped up in our own experiences: things like food paralysis, or reacting in completely different ways to the same weigh-in. We also explore the dangers of waiting to feel “ready”, and why deciding to recover doesn’t suddenly make things feel safe. And, by going through what actually helps — whether that’s expecting resistance, seeing it from your brain’s point of view, or detaching motivation from action — we hope to show you how to build a more consistent and resilient recovery all round. Topics covered: * Wanting recovery but feeling unable to act on it * The back-and-forth thoughts around food and weight * Paralysis in the moment * Why knowledge and intention aren’t enough on their own * Facing fear and what happens when you do * Mixed reactions to progress * Detaching action from motivation and repeating it consistently Resources mentioned: Megsy Recovery Turning Motivation into Action: [https://youtu.be/-4gJWbmer3I?si=2RVQ5BtqwIjCLqWA](https://youtu.be/-4gJWbmer3I?si=2RVQ5BtqwIjCLqWA) 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 Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER] We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.

“Unnecessary" Calories

“Unnecessary" Calories In both of our EDs, “unnecessary calories” was one of those rules that sometimes didn’t even feel like a rule. It was more like a fact, or something so ‘obvious’, it wasn’t even worth questioning. Leaving out the oil, the dressings, the sauces and syrups and liquid calories (basically, the bits that make food actually taste good!) was a default setting. So, in this episode, we dig into this “minimal version” mindset: the urge to always choose or make the lowest possible option. Challenging it was vital for us in our recoveries, as it impacted much more than just the meal itself. We go through some of the tools we used to challenge our own minimal version mindsets — and how our lives became all the wider, and richer, for it. Topics covered:  * What “unnecessary calories” looked like in practice • The thoughts and justifications behind it • How meals became more stripped back over time • The impact on cooking, eating out, and social situations • The “minimal version” mindset • Where it leads if left unchecked • Challenging the rule and adding things back in 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 Tallulah Self (podcast editor) Instagram: @tallulahself [DISCLAIMER]  We’re not medical professionals, and the podcast content reflects our own experiences and opinions.
