My Eating Disorder Story: Binge Eating, Restriction, and Orthorexia -- and Recovery
Manage episode 517799910 series 3693847
In this episode, Stefanie Michele shares the full story of her ED — from early dieting and body image issues to decades of binging, restriction, and an obsession with healthy, clean eating.
She explains how family dynamics, cultural pressure, and the physiology of restriction shaped her relationship with food, and what finally changed in her late thirties that led to recovery at forty.
This episode breaks down the psychology of binge eating, the impact of diet culture, and how understanding the body's response to deprivation can open the door to long-term healing.
