    the story about eating disorder recovery and sobriety with Heather Lasco

    We can’t believe this season is already coming to an end but here it is, the final episode, and trust us, it’s a good one! Ali and Hannah are sitting down with Heather Lasco, a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders and the founder of Confidentially Nourished. In this powerful conversation, Heather opens up about her experience battling an eating disorder during her dietetics education and early career, and how that journey now drives her passion for supporting others with eating disorders, especially those facing weight stigma in healthcare. Heather shares the many ways her lived experiences have shaped her practice today and the three discuss the impact of their formal education in dietetics on mental health and disordered eating beliefs. Together, they explore everything from internalized fatphobia to the importance of self-care as practitioners, and how sneaky diet culture still finds its way into their lives, especially during major life transitions like postpartum. Do dietitians need to see other dietitians for nutritional counseling? How do different maladaptive coping strategies like alcohol use and disordered eating impact each other? How to stay strong and supported in recovery during times of high stress? Hit play to catch all the insights, personal stories, and powerful truths as Ali, Hannah, and Heather wrap up the season with a bang!
