Real Health Radio is the podcast for you if you want freedom from an eating disorder. I’m your host Chris Sandel, nutritionist, coach and eating disorder expert. And despite what the eating disorder may be telling you, you CAN reach a place of full recovery. The podcast alternates between solo shows and guest interviews with leading experts. We cover topics including eating disorder recovery, exercise compulsion, ACT, polyvagal theory, body image and self-worth, trauma, anxiety, grief, habit formation and goal setting. As well as sharing interviews with clients who have gone from the depths of an eating disorder to reaching the freedom of full recovery.

    My guest on the podcast this week is anti-diet nutritionist Abbie Attwood. We chat about Abbie's history with an eating disorder, what led up to it and most importantly, what helped her to recover. We also cover self-compassion, not loving what your body looks like, the importance of values, why recovery is worth it and so much more.

    327: Full Recovery Is Possible For Everyone

    I've lost count of how many times I've heard people being told by their supposed recovery team that full recovery isn't possible for them. This is not ok and it's not accurate. Full recovery is possible for everyone and in this episode I explain why.

    325: Making Recovery A Priority

    324: Why Your Goal In Recovery Is Not To Be A Normal Eater

    It's so common to hear from people that they want to go from having an eating disorder to just being a normal eater. And while this can be the long term plan, this should not be the focus while in recovery and as part of this episode I explain why.

    322: Exercise And Recovery

    One of the most common questions I get from people is, "What are your thoughts on exercise in recovery?" In this episode, I answer this question by looking at the fears connected to changing exercise habits, why I believe it's essential to have a break from exercise and how and when to reintroduce it, is stopping exercise the first change you need to make, do you have to go cold turkey or can you reduce it over time, how to reframe this change and much more.
