In this episode of Food is Food, I'm joined by certified eating disorder recovery coach Gemma, who shares her lived experience of recovering from anorexia and navigating the challenges of extreme hunger.
Together, we explore why hunger can feel overwhelming after restriction, the difference between physical and mental hunger, common fears around overeating and weight gain, and how learning to trust your body leads to having more flexibility and freedom with food.
If you're worried that your hunger is "too much," afraid you'll never stop eating, or wondering whether recovery is really worth it, this conversation is for you.
Episodes drop every Thursday.

What extreme hunger actually is and why it happens during recovery.
The difference between physical hunger, mental hunger, and food preoccupation.
