27. a new year & new hopes for eating disorder treatment with Marta Parada

In this episode, your host, Kait, is joined by eating disorder recovery coach Marta Parada. In the episode, talk about a reality many face in eating disorder recovery: being left without support because they don’t “meet the criteria.” Whether it’s being stuck on a waitlist or told they’re not “sick enough,” so many people are navigating recovery without the care they deserve.

We explore the risks of focusing solely on physical health, especially weight restoration, without addressing emotional and mental readiness. From the nervous system’s role in healing to the importance of holistic support, we unpack why true recovery needs more than just a number on a scale.
