Love This Food Thing

This Food Thing is hosted by Jemma Richards. Jemma suffered with eating disorders for years. Now she’s out the other side she wants to open up the conversation. In each episode, she invites a special guest to join her to discuss their relationship with food, whether it is easy or less so, and how it affects their behaviour. Jemma takes a light approach but she believes if this area of our lives is skewed, then so is the rest. It’s never just about food. This podcast is a series of conversations that may shed light in dark corners, prompt debate and, at best, heal. Jemma is not a medical professional; all opinions are entirely her own.

    Overcoming Eating Disorders with Lisa Marie

    Season 8 concludes with Lisa Marie who recently returned to day treatment for anorexia. “I’ll be trying to get a meal deal in my half hour lunch break and half an hour will go by because I’m stood there, staring at everyone else watching them pick out the first sandwich they see. I’m like, should I have this one, should I have that one, what’s got less in, what’s got more in, should I get something else, should I not have anything. Shall I just have a coffee. It’s truly exhausting.” Lisa is on a mission to move on from her eating disorders and get her life back. She says this is her last chance. Lisa was doing really well until after the pandemic and she went back to the gym. Then her best friend died from anorexia. This is a must listen for anyone caught up in the eating disorder zone. Lisa is a candid and vulnerable guest. Her description about the battle to get well is pitch perfect. This episode is dedicated to Lisa’s best friend, Nikki Grahame.  *Trigger warning: Binge Foods at 21:11.

    My Young Daughter and Anorexia with Emma

    “I can really remember that the relationship with self was difficult. If I trace back to that growing, lovely young girl at 7/8/9 there was a little shift in body shape. I could see she wasn’t happy with herself…. I noticed a lot of self loathing creeping in. I used to really worry. I remember going into her room once and she was hitting her stomach.” Emma didn’t notice her daughter had developed anorexia until they were about to board a plane for a family holiday.  Emma’s been on a steep learning curve ever since. Her warm and compassionate take on recent events will help anyone in a similar situation.  There is always hope. Emma wishes to remain anonymous.

    Relapsing and Recovery with Prue [Part 2]

    “Initially it didn’t look like a relapse. My frame of mind was, I exercise a lot, I’m in a place where I’m eating well. I feel a lot stronger, physically and mentally. I felt in such a good place I thought I would really like to lose some weight. I just wanted to feel I had some control over my body and the way it looked!” Welcome back to Prue Part 2, for another intimate and candid chat. Prue wishes to remain anonymous. Prue first spoke on the Love This Food Thing Podcast in Season 6 (Ep 55) about the impact of being sent  to boarding school aged 11 and the link between her diabetes and anorexia.  No one came to her rescue. This episode is a super helpful insight for anyone going through similar issues. Join me to hear Prue’s thoughts on recovery, relapsing and how you can rescue yourself. “Nothing ever stays the same. Everything passes.” EPISODE TIMESTAMPS: [00:58] - Reflecting on Past Episodes and Personal Struggles[01:36] - The Impact of Boarding School and Family Dynamics[04:00] - Exploring the Emotions Behind Eating Disorders[06:00] - The Role of Control and Anger in Eating Disorders[08:26] - Coping Mechanisms and Family Influence[12:50] - The Concept of Embodiment and Control[18:26] - Relapse and Recovery: A Personal Account[28:32] - Reliving Childhood Anorexia[29:20] - Struggles with Weight Maintenance[31:51] - Binge Eating and Self-Realisation[38:07] - Setting Boundaries and Emotional Healing[44:07] - Reflections on Recovery THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

    Inherited Trauma Release Therapy with Jonathan Meenagh

    “We’re not just a product of our parents, but all our ancestors who came before us and what happened to them. We get an inheritance when we’re born into a family, the difficulties, events and patterns of how these people felt. What doesn’t get resolved in a family in the generation it happens is then passed onto the next generation that comes into the family." Jonny is an Inherited Trauma Release Therapist whose life was forever changed after his first trauma release session for hoarding (previously food) and sneaker addiction. Jonny’s rational and scientific mind was officially blown when he discovered these patterns had belonged to an ancestor and he left the session, finally free. I met Jonny at a friend’s BBQ and within the hour I’d invited him onto the podcast. Now I’ve experienced this life changing technique myself I am going to say, BEYOND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED… especially for those things you just can’t shift.  This is a brilliant, must listen episode.  Jonny offers a free 15 minute consultation to anyone who is interested in finding out more.

    Healing Anorexia and Binge Eating Using the Law of Attraction with Amanda Dixon

    Amanda never imagined that she’d ever recover after 25 years of eating disorders and exercise bulimia. “The final turning point was when I had a huge binge one day and was extremely underweight. I went to exercise for four hours. My son was in daycare. I felt so much shame and guilt for eating so much I thought I’m going to make myself throw up. I’d tried before, but thankfully it never worked, but I tried until my throat was bleeding.  I just lay on the bathroom floor and thought I cannot live with this desperation in my life. I’m going to try one more time to recover and if it doesn’t work I’ll let the eating disorders take me.” Amanda is a stay at home Mum who tried to recover several times, but it was only when she discovered The Law of Attraction via a podcast that she was finally able to challenge her thoughts and beliefs and get her life back. Amanda’s story is another example of turning the prevailing narrative that you can’t recover from an eating disorder on its head.  She describes her experience as going from “broken to soaring.” Be uplifted by Amanda’s story.

    Healing From Abuse and Starvation with Alix Nugent

    Alix was punished with starvation and isolation by some of the nuns at her Catholic Boarding School. “I remember being locked in the attic looking out the window and one of the girls said, there’s Alix. I shouted down, I’ve had no food and these girls who weren’t normally nice to me - they used to call me orphan - opened up their lunch boxes and threw their food up trying to get it through the window.  I remember chocolate digestives flying through the air and hitting the floor. I was so grateful.” Alix binges to soothe her fear. Sometimes, she feels guilty, but she’s learning to let herself off the hook.  Alix hails from a mediumistic family and was aligned with the laws of Buddhism long before she established her chanting practice. Alix’s belief that she came into this life to learn compassion helps her deal with the extreme nature of her experiences.   Alix works as a psychic, intuitive tarot reader with a gift for seeing the circumstances of someone’s life, reading their karma and helping them get to a happier place.  If there was ever an example of releasing trauma and the past with love and understanding then Alix is it! Must listen. Tune in! P.S. Alix is the best tarot reader I’ve ever seen.

    Anorexia Recovery and Nutritional Wellness with Anne Richardson

    “It was just a sense of not being good enough. Not good enough because I’m a girl and boys are better. At school I wasn’t good enough. I had everything I needed but my house wasn’t good enough. I lived in quite a messy house. A bit dirty really… I remember watching a film about a little girl doing ballet, and I did ballet and she ended up with an eating disorder. I remember thinking, wouldn’t it be great to have anorexia.” Anne’s home life was chaotic due, mostly, to her unpredictable father who wished that Anne had been a boy. Consequently, she never felt good enough. Anne’s anorexia kicked in from the ages of 16 - 21. She knew she’d never recover at home so she packed her bags and moved to London where she rebuilt her life.  In this episode, we explore Anne’s relationship with her father and how his absence still resonates.   Anne is warm and, exceptionally, candid. Enjoy.

    Bulimia and Alcohol Recovery with Ross Beckley

    During the 1980’s Ross grew up in, “quite a chaotic household and bulimia was my bit of privacy. I’d go and lock myself in the bathroom - there was a big ritual around it, eating, feeling overly full and horrible, and then wanting to be sick. But I had the secrecy of the bathroom, like this is my little secret, which fed into the shame.” She felt particularly susceptible to the ideal body type of the day. At University Ross discovered alcohol and when she bought her first flat, at age 24, her eating disorders spiralled out of control. Ross had a stressful yet successful career and seemed to have it all but she nearly lost everything.  Today, Ross hosts yoga and juicing retreats with her husband in the South of France at Maison de Lunel and in the UK, and is also currently working on her new brand. Join me for another inspiring episode where Ross explores the link between her bulimia and alcoholism and what it took to turn her life around.  NOTE: Bear with us with the sound for the initial 5-minutes of the episode.
