    Is It Normal to Look Forward to a Certain Event Because of the Food, Rather Than Dreading it?

    In this episode, Han & Emily discuss the normality of looking forward to food occasions - both in and after recovery. Food is a wonderful facilitator for connection socially, culturally and mentally. The key take away from this episode is: It is ok to enjoy food! There is no gold medal for those who insist they don't! An undernourished brain and body naturally prioritises food. For it to come off of a pedestal, you must fully show your brain that food is no longer a scarce resource. Seek out occasions you can reassure your body of unconditional permission + access to food. Disordered eating is common in society. Healing your relationship with food in your recovery will set you free to be able to act in a way that is truly in alignment with your values.

    In this episode, Emily and Han explore how to navigate responding to hunger when food seems to be losing its appeal. The key takeaways from this episode are: Get honest: Are you playing a role in food feeling monotonous? A mental drive for food is an equally valid cue to eat as a physical prompt. A body healing from deficit does not immediately return to normalcy. Where possible, release yourself to the joys of letting go

    Is it Normal to Get Anxiety When NOT Eating in Recovery?

    In this episode, Emily and Han share their experiences of how anxiety arose in the absence of food. Contrary to the expected perspective that somebody with a restrictive eating disorder does not wish to be around food, an undernourished body quite rightfully welcomes being in an area of food abundance. Actioning this food abundance in order to reaffirm the unconditional availability of food is essential to alleviate the emotional state that arises in recovery.
