One of the greatest gifts of getting farther along in one’s career is developing a comfort with “not knowing” stuff. I know that sounds wild because I am kind of obsessed with learning. It’s one of the things I love most about this career – the opportunities for ongoing learning are everywhere. With experience comes discernment – getting clear about what knowledge serves my clients and, ironically, how “not knowing” serves them too. Today I’m going to talk about “2 Things I Definitely Don’t Know” (although the list is longer than 2) and why I think that’s a good thing.…
Eating disorders are serious and complex health issues with a wide variety of formidable health impacts. For those with more intense cases of an eating disorder, or for those struggling with other health conditions that cause malnourishment, a procedure called refeeding may be necessary for recovery.

This article will explore eating disorders, refeeding syndrome, and what can be done to prevent and treat refeeding syndrome. Eating disorders are a serious mental health condition that are common and always treatable. An eating disorder is characterized by intense, persistent changes in…
Demi Lovato and Penn Badgley got deep on the latest episode of Podcrushed, with the 32-year-old singer/actress opening up about her ongoing eating disorder treatments, gender presentation and more in an interview posted Thursday (Oct. 3).

People taking drugs like Ozempic say their appetites evaporate. The constant “food noise” in their heads — wondering what they’ll eat next, and when — goes quiet.Now, scientists are exploring whether those powerful effects could translate into a treatment for binge eating disorder, the most common eating disorder in the United States.Binge eating disorder traps people in an agonizing cycle: They eat a large amount of food in a short amount of time, past the point of feeling full and sometimes until they are in pain. They feel guilty and ashamed. Then they binge again. Scientists aren’t entirely sure what…
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most prevalent eating disorder among Americans, affecting an estimated 1% to 3% of individuals. The disorder is characterized by loss of control over eating. The amount eaten in a binge-eating episode can vary widely among those affected. While often it is more than most people would consume under similar circumstances, the key factor in diagnosis concerns loss of control. The 4th edition of the DSM diagnostic manual used by psychiatrists and other medical professionals established that a diagnosis could be made with binge-eating episodes on two or more days per week over a 6-month…
calimedia/Shutterstock Liquid aminos may be a staple in health food stores today, but their rise to fame has a curious backstory. Paul Bragg, founder of Bragg Live Food Products and the man who popularized the magical apple cider vinegar, invented liquid aminos in 1952. The athlete, author, and former PE teacher dubbed himself a “life extension specialist.” He traveled the country delivering wellness lectures while selling his health-supporting products, including liquid aminos. Bragg advised athletes and Hollywood stars alike, but there’s an odd footnote to his legacy: Bragg claimed to be almost 15 years older than he…

Hi everybody! I’ve started to write about eating disorders again on my SubStack platform so it reminded me to scoot on over to my very dormant blog and post again about the shift from here to SubStack. In the very big likelihood that you don’t remember me. My name is Lindsey and I’m the author behind this blog about eating disorders, recovery and treatment which had a nice following from 2014-2020 … and then I bought a van, went freelance, ran about the world and honestly just stopped posting all together. As so it goes. Hopefully, some of you have…
