Today I am joined by Quinn Haisley (they/she), a non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent eating disorder dietitian. Quinn started working in the eating disorder field 3 years ago as a registered dietitian in BALANCE eating disorder treatment center, where she has worked at the PHP, IOP, and outpatient level. They started their own private practice, Practice Eros Nutrition, in April 2022 to primarily focus on working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent folx after seeing a need for more affirming treatment spaces run by clinicians with lived experience. Quinn is passionate about breaking out of the cookie cutter ED treatment model and bringing social justice into ED recovery. In today’s episode, Quinn and I discuss the overlap between neurodiversity, eating disorders, and the LGBTQ+ community. They answer the following questions:


What is Practice Eros Nutrition?
How can being queer and neurodivergent interplay during an eating disorder?
How can gender dysphoria impact the development of eating disorders?
What are some incorrect assumptions made about queer individuals with eating disorders?
What are some examples of invalidated sexual orientation negatively impacting the recovery process?
How can eating disorder treatment be better tailored for validating queer individuals?

Quinn also shares her words of wisdom for queer-identifying or neurodivergent individuals currently recovering!

I was only 15 when I was tossed out of the Dutch eating disorder treatment system with the labels “too complex,” “manipulative,” and a “hopeless case.” It wasn’t until I discovered I am autistic that I understood why eating disorder treatment never worked…and in fact, had only made the anorexia worse.

In today’s episode of the Liv Label Free podcast, I share my journey growing up undiagnosed autistic, how this led to the development of my eating disorder, and I discuss the dangers of traditional eating disorder treatment for neurodivergent individuals. Of course, I also share what DID work for me to fully recover from an eating disorder while embracing my unique brain, so hopefully you will feel empowered and inspired to do the same!

It's time for a Q&A! After listening to my episodes on "ED behaviors that are ACTUALLY autistic traits," a fan of the podcast asked me if it's possible to develop "new" autistic traits during an eating disorder. In today's episode, I explain what it means if your autistic traits take on new manifestations and how this knowledge can help you fully recover from disordered eating!

Do you wonder why you can't stop bingeing even though you WANT to? In today's episode of the Liv Label Free podcast, I speak with Sarah Dosanjh, a psychotherapist and author of the book I Can’t Stop Eating. After her own recovery from binge eating disorder, Sarah has gone on to help others do the same. She runs therapy groups and communities for binge eating recovery, co-hosts the Life After Diets podcast, and creates videos about how to recover from binge eating on her YouTube channel The Binge Eating Therapist. Sarah answers the following questions:


What inspired you to become The Binge Eating Therapist?
How do you believe labels/diet culture influences binge eating?
How can mental restriction lead to binge eating?
What are some examples of mental restriction? 
What are some strategies one can implement to feel more peaceful around food, especially if they have unreliable physical hunger cues?
