Quasi Recovery: Half Healed, Still Struggling

Why You Need to Stop Counting Calories to Heal Your Relationship With Food

If you're constantly thinking about calories, macros, steps, weight, or numbers around food, this episode is for you. In this episode, I discuss why healing your relationship with food requires more than simply eating more—and why letting go of calorie counting is often a crucial part of recovery. We explore how numbers can reinforce rigidity, keep eating disorder thoughts alive, disconnect you from your body's cues, and make it harder to develop true food freedom. I also share insights from my own recovery journey, the psychology behind why the eating disorder brain loves numbers, and how learning to tolerate uncertainty can be one of the most powerful steps towards lasting recovery. Whether you're recovering from an eating disorder, struggling with disordered eating, or simply feeling trapped by food tracking, I hope this episode helps you move one step closer to a healthier, more flexible relationship with food.

Will I Have to Restrict Again After Recovery? (Metabolic Adaptation Explained)

One of the biggest fears in eating disorder recovery is: “If I start eating more… will I eventually have to restrict again to stop gaining weight forever?” In this episode, I unpack the science of metabolic adaptation in eating disorder recovery — why energy needs often increase with renourishment, what actually happens to your metabolism during restriction, and why recovery doesn’t mean gaining weight forever. I also share my own experience recovering from chronic underfuelling, how my maintenance intake has changed over time, and why healing your body means bringing systems back online — not “breaking” your metabolism.
