Control as Coping and Eating Disorders
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
Wednesday Aug 09, 2023
A Bite Size episode.
I think that it's a cliche to say that eating disorders are all about control. I guess it is a cliche for a good reason - an eating disorder can be a coping strategy and life-raft to cling to, when life throws its unpredictable turbulence at your door.
In this podcast, I talk about an eating disorder as a coping strategy, exploring feeling in control and out-of-control and suggest different and more healthy ways of coping. I hope that you find it helpful.

This is a re-share of an old podcast episode that has proved to be very popular. Understanding why you might be in patterns of control, neglect and self-sabotage around your eating.
Your early relationships in life will impact the way you care for yourself, the way you interact with others and also your relationship with food and your body. Patterns of over-control, conditional acceptance, emotional neglect or even abuse can all have a significant impact. In this episode, I talk about Reciprocal Roles, a tool used in Cognitive Analytic Therapy, to give you greater insight into understanding this. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

Today I’m speaking to Amber Romaniuk who is a returning guest to the Eating Disorder Therapist Podcast. Amber is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert who helps professional women achieve optimal health through mindful eating, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food. ⠀ ⠀
Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has a million downloads, over 400 episodes and is listened to, in over 88 countries. She was featured on TV Personality Whitney Port’s podcast and has also appeared on local TV 50 times in the last three years alone.
Amber overcame her own emotional eating, after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. Now she helps others achieve Body Freedom™ so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives. ⠀ ⠀
In this episode today, Amber is talking all about food and eating around your menstrual cycle – so apologies to any men listening, but hopefully you will benefit from this knowledge and pass this on to all the women in your life! ⠀ ⠀
Amber is going to explore increased appetite levels prior to the menstrual cycle and explain what creates this. She talks about how this can make women feel more vulnerable to using food about a week prior to their cycle. Amber goes on to explain how the mindset, mood and physical body all together create this effect and the kind of imbalances that can amplify it. A great topic and one we haven’t covered on the podcast before. ⠀ ⠀
Amber does a deep dive here and gives a multitude of tips and wisdom on how to find a more balanced place of harmony and healing, drawing on her own lived experience and through many years of supporting her clients. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.

A Bite Size episode!
It is incredibly common for people with eating disorders to struggle with 'all or nothing thinking'. This frequently leads to 'good phases' and the contrasting, wholly chaotic and distressing 'bad phases' and this approach doesn't support balanced mental and physical well-being.
In this episode, I talk about 'all or nothing thinking'. I discuss the ways that it can be so detrimental in recovery and explore how to take steps towards embracing the grey, along with greater contentment and peace. I hope that you enjoy it.

Today, I’m talking to Kristi Koeter. Kristi is a former journalist and personal trainer, marketer, and now author, based in the Austin, Texas, area.
Two of Kristi’s three children have had anorexia nervosa, and both completed Partial Hospitalisation Programs in the U.S. Her oldest daughter, now 19, has been stable in her recovery for several years, whilst her youngest, 14 years old, is still early in her recovery.
When Kristi’s youngest daughter’s weight started dropping rapidly after she came out of treatment, Kristi knew that she needed to take more proactive action. She also ended up having to take a really hard look at herself; her own eating and body image issues. Using the Maudsley Method, and her daughter’s care team, this has really supported her daughter in transitioning in her recovery.
In Kristi’s just-released, co-authored book called Show Your Work: Successful Women Share the Bumpy Roads to Their Biggest Wins, she discusses the realization that in order to help her youngest daughter recover from her eating disorder, she had to address her own years of disordered eating and overexercise. She is also writing Almost Sated on Substack, where she is chronicling her transition to intuitive eating and healthy movement. She knows that it’s possible for parents to help their children even if they are struggling with their own eating issues, but she has felt passionate about working on herself to support this whole process.
When Kristi’s not writing, she is mountain biking, hiking, or spending time with my kids and new husband.
So Kristi and her daughters are on an incredible journey. Kristi herself has had to do some extraordinarily difficult and challenging work in facing her own demons in this process, which she is doing wholeheartedly. I absolutely commend Kristi for her vulnerability and openness in talking about all of this.
In the episode today, Kristi talks about: -
- What it’s like to have two children with anorexia, and how different the experience was with each of them
- Giving up dieting for the well-being of loved ones
- Tips for parents making the transition to intuitive eating and healthy movement after a lifetime of dieting and exercise.
So much value and inspiration here. I hope that you enjoy it.

The Limitations of Body Mass Index (BMI) - Eating Disorder Recovery and Wider Health
Wednesday Jul 12, 2023
Wednesday Jul 12, 2023
A Bite Size episode! The Body Mass Index (BMI) has rightly come under increased scrutiny in recent years. It is outdated, not relevant for many individuals and can actually encourage disordered eating behaviours and poor body image. However, it continues to be used in eating disorder recovery and as a general marker of health, albeit a weight-focused one. In this episode, I explore the history of BMI and its limitations, whilst discussing alternative markers of health.

Today I'm talking to Lilia Bogoeva. Lilia is a somatic practitioner of Myobeat somatic coaching, musician, and coach, who developed her mind-body practices after struggling with anorexia, bulimia, addiction, and depression. She is dedicated to teaching people how emotional trauma hurts your body and explores how to heal. She uses body-centred therapeutic practices to teach anyone struggling with emotional wounds how to deeply love your body and to make friends with your mind.
In addition to her somatic coaching, Lilia is the front-woman of the metal band Karkaza, also a competitive powerlifter, and an animal lover! This makes her the expert on how to pursue physical performance goals while loving your body and keeping a healthy mindset about the various facets of life!
In the episode today, we’re going to explore Lilia’s story of recovery from eating disorders, addiction and depression and how she navigated this path. Lilia is absolutely passionate about somatic and artistic practices and will be sharing how she used these in her own healing and now supports her clients with doing the same. She talks about the limitations of talking therapy and the value in coming back into the body. She shares her unique methods in how she supports her clients today. A fascinating episode. A truly inspiring woman. I hope that you enjoy it.
Trigger warning: this episode contains some references to suicidal thoughts. Please take care of yourself.
