Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Was All-In Recovery As Easy As It Looked? with Stefanie Michele
Q: What's the most sensible thing you advise clients to do, but they frequently don't do it?
Clients often struggle to establish anchor meals and may resist necessary changes due to lack of readiness or safety.
209. Navigating Loss of Identity (not like a Mean Girl); Q&A: How to cope with diet culture talk in the break room
Q: How do we navigate talk of weight loss, weight gain, being good, diets, diets in disguise, calories, lauding of self-punishing behaviors like over-exercise and skipping meals, etc.?
It's challenging because our logical mind learns about diet culture while societal values reinforce those harmful beliefs. Avoiding toxic conversations while managing expectations can be tough in environments filled with diet talk.
206. What If Food Freedom Looks Different for Different Brains? Guest Marcus Kain is back!
Q: So when you look back on your recovery now, how do you think your autistic process helped and hindered?
Being autistic helped in quickly applying an intellectual understanding to recovery, but changing deep-rooted beliefs and acceptance of weight fluctuation was challenging.
206. What If Food Freedom Looks Different for Different Brains? Guest Marcus Kain is back!
Q: How, if at all, does this overlap or intersect with food and body image for you?
Many behaviors that are labeled as eating disorder behaviors are normal for neurodivergent individuals, such as a preference for routine in food choices.
204. But If I'm Not Obsessed With Food, What Will I Obsess About?
Q: Do you think there's an overlap between neurodiversity and needing to replace thinking about food with thinking about other things?
There is a tendency for neurodivergent individuals to become fixed on one thing, and when removing the focus on food, they may need to channel that focus into another area.
