Today, I’m talking to Mindy Gorman-Plutzer, Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner and Eating Psychology Coach.   Mindy’s life experience and training inspired her to create a framework that combines functional nutrition, positive psychology, and mind/body science. Mindy is passionate about helping others recover from eating disorders and create a healthier lifestyle. Her approach tackles the root cause of the issue, and emphasizes that how and why you eat is just as important as what you eat.  In addition, Mindy is the author of The Freedom Promise: 7 Steps To Stop Fearing What Food Will Do TO You and Start Embracing What It Can Do FOR You. In this episode, Mindy talks about her personal recovery journey, delving into the ups and downs of this road, from being in a quasi recovered place (doing recovery) to stepping into full recovery (being recovered), through deeper self-connection and self-empowerment.  She explores how eating disorders become solutions to different trauma or stressors, and the way they can become a means of self-soothing, and with healing, other healthier coping strategies can be explored. This is an inspiring and encouraging episode, as Mindy radiates passion, enthusiasm and deep caring for her clients and people healing from eating disorders. It gives hope for recovery and regaining and taking back what was lost through the illness. I hope that you enjoy the episode.   To find out more about Mindy:- Instagram: @thefreedompromise Website: https://thefreedompromise.com/  https://thefreedompromise.com/opt-in-page/   Harriet's Substack: https://substack.com/@theeatingdisordertherapist   Harriet Frew's current offers: - Online 10 Steps to Intuitive Eating Course https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/online-courses.html Online Breaking Free from Bulimia  https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/bulimia-nervosa-online-course.html Eating Disorders Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/eating-disorders-training-with-harriet-frew.html Body Image Training for Professionals https://www.theeatingdisordertherapist.co.uk/body-image-training-with-harriet-frew.html  

Today I’m talking to Livia Sara, aka Liv Label Free, who is an autism eating disorder recovery coach, best-selling author, content creator and more. She helps neurodivergent individuals and their loved ones find freedom. 'Liv Label Free' is the idea that no one needs a label to live a life in which they feel fulfilled; everyone has their own specific needs and no label can ever house the complexity of what makes each person unique! Livia’s mission is to break the stigmas around mental health and empower people to fully recover from disordered eating while embracing their autistic traits.  In the episode today, Livia talks about her own complex journey through anorexia recovery, later autism diagnosis and finding her own freedom and healing. Livia describes how more traditional eating disorder treatment approaches were not helpful for her. In hindsight, she understands this now, as her autism was not recognised and many autistic traits were labelled as ed behaviours. She talks about helpful approaches she adopts in supporting her own clients today. Livia brings a very compassionate and individualised approach to her work, respecting each person’s unique experience and addressing issues with deep curiosity and compassion. If you wish to understand more about anorexia, the link with neurodivergence and treatment approaches that can be helpful, this is definitely the episode for you. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
