Hot flashes, sleep disruption, body changes, shifting appetite, and emotional vulnerability—how do these experiences intersect with eating disorder recovery? Join us as we explore the complex relationship between perimenopause, menopause and eating disorders with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Erica Leon.
In this episode, Erica challenges the cultural narratives that say we need to fear these changes or cut carbs to fix our symptoms. Erica shares her insights from decades of experience and explains why we need a more nuanced understanding of midlife mental health, conversations around building body trust, and nutrition support during this turbulent time.
For those struggling or just curious to learn more, this episode will provide practical strategies for weight-inclusive, compassionate, and recovery-oriented eating disorder care.
