Summary
"Eating disorders are the only health issue where there's a race to the bottom."
If you've ever felt like you are not sick enough or thin enough to receive eating disorder care, this episode is for you.
Host Andrea Wells and guest Nia Patterson address a burning recovery question from a community member about feeling unworthy of support due to the size of their body. Nia shares insights on why you deserve eating disorder care regardless of your body size, and ways you can self advocate when you feel like you're not "sick enough".
