In this episode, host Zoe Haydn Jones sits down with Elle Mace, a practitioner specialising in relationships with food, body, and confidence. Elle shares her own personal journey of struggling with disordered eating and body dysmorphia for years, and how this led her to become an expert in this area.

Elle explains that disordered eating is incredibly common, affecting 81% of women and 62% of men. She emphasises that it's often linked to deeper issues like low self-worth, suppressed emotions, and past trauma.

The conversation dives into practical advice for those dealing with disordered eating or poor body image. Elle stresses the importance of slowing down, bringing awareness to underlying issues, and not being too hard on yourself. She also shares her approach to supporting parents and children in developing healthy relationships with food. Key Takeaways:

• Disordered eating is extremely prevalent and linked to deeper mental health concerns
• Slowing down and practicing self-awareness are crucial first steps in recovery
• An intuitive, compassionate approach is key when it comes to children's eating habits
• Reaching out to a doctor is recommended as the first point of contact for getting support
