Welcome to Recover Strong, a podcast that will transform your recovery from an eating disorder by helping you go from theory to practice to mastery.

This is your special time to learn new skills, tools, and get the inspiration you need to recover strong.

Let's get started.

Good morning, warriors. Time to start your day. Keep your head up marching on. Don't

understand in your way.

Hello there, Warrior. I'm your host, Jessica Flint. I'm the founder and CEO of Recovery Warriors, a wisdom sharing platform for all people impacted by an eating disorder. Recovery Warriors provides resources and support to heal your relationship to food, body, mind, and soul. I believe recovery is not only possible,

but it is worth it. That is why Recovery Strong exists to help you see and connect to the potential

that lies within you to find freedom from an eating disorder. Today we have a conversation

with Dr. Carrie Anderson. She's a licensed professional

counselor and has a doctorate in behavioral health. Carrie runs her own practice that specializes

in helping others heal from issues with food, body, and trauma. She's also the author of three books

that focus on healing from binge eating and has her own personal experience

from recovering from binge eating disorder. Carrie is an expert on the science behind binge eating

and that is why I brought her on here to break down exactly what is happening in your brain

when you experience a binge and how you can use this knowledge to heal your relationship with

food and trauma.

And before we dive in, I want to invite you to take our listener survey.
