Today, I’m talking to Prue – an eating disorder recovery warrior and mother, who has type one diabetes and has recovered from anorexia nervosa. Prue has been very generous today in sharing her recovery story.
Prue experienced extremely challenging times as a child, having what she calls a ‘text book’ narcissistic father. She was then sent to boarding school and separated from her siblings and support network, feeling very abandoned. Prue then developed type 1 diabetes and was navigating this condition, pretty much in isolation.
Prue developed anorexia nervosa as a life raft and coping strategy to keep her safe in these hugely difficult circumstances. Today she shares her story openly, describing some of the things that have helped her in healing and ongoing management of diabetes.
I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

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.

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.

Today, I’m talking to Toni Rudd - The Binge Dietitian, a UK Registered Dietitian, who is based in Peru, and working with women all over the world who have binge eating behaviours. Previously, Toni worked within the UK National Health Service and has a range of experience with diabetes, weight management, learning disabilities and mental health. She now works online and is a weight inclusive and non-diet approach dietitian.
Throughout her dietetic career, Toni has always been passionate in sharing her love for food, and helping people to realise, that even with chronic conditions like diabetes, there is no list of foods that they should or shouldn't be eating. She has always experienced there being so much confusion with food advice among her clients and consequently brings this passion to educating her clients and busting nutritional misinformation and fads.
Today, Toni has left all of this behind and is now working in the non-diet space, online and is based in Peru, with her husband.
In the episode today, Toni talks about her personal recovery story, rooted in early trips to WeightWatchers, dance and then working as a weight loss dietitian, before she transitioned into the food freedom space. If you’d like to hear the longer version of her story, Toni has guested before and the link is in the show notes to that episode.
Toni talks today about helping her clients break out of restrictive and binge eating cycles. She explores common traps that clients fall into, which keep them stuck and the challenges of letting go of toxic diet culture messages. Toni explores how negative body image can interfere with recovery and ways to navigate feeling better in your body. She talks about the fear of failing in recovery and how to take a different approach after years of dieting and feeling a loss of control.
There’s so much packed in this episode. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
