Together, we explore why eating disorders are not about food, weight, or willpower β€” but about safety, survival, and a nervous system doing its best to cope. Lexi speaks openly about the realities of recovery, the myths that keep people stuck, and what true nourishment actually means for the body and brain. This episode is for anyone who has struggled silently, supported someone with an eating disorder, or wants to understand healing through a trauma-informed, compassionate lens.
