What’s the difference between diet culture, disordered eating, and an eating disorder? And what does it actually take to heal your relationship with food and your body?
In this episode, I’m joined by Michelle Villanti, LCSW, and Nicole Coleman, MS, from Nova Luna Treatment Center in Hawaii. Both bring professional expertise AND lived experience with eating disorder recovery to this powerful conversation about body image, healing, and breaking free from diet culture.
We talk about the sneaky ways disordered eating can show up in everyday life, what even eating disorder professionals do when they’re having a bad body image day, and why healing takes more than simply changing what you eat.
Michelle and Nicole also share Nova Luna’s 10 Process Parameters, a framework for prioritizing yourself, practicing self-compassion, giving yourself permission, and staying committed to your healing journey even when it feels hard.
Whether you’re recovering from an eating disorder, struggling with food guilt and body image, or working toward food freedom through intuitive eating, this conversation will give you a tools to apply to your journey!
