Ep 35: Creating a meaningFULL life after an eating disorder with author and counselor Alli Spotts-De Lazzer

Just Eat Normally: Eating Disorder Recovery - A podcast by Rachel Evans

This week I am speaking to Alli Spotts-De Lazzer, author of MeaningFULL: 23 Life-Changing Stories of Conquering Dieting, Weight, and Body Image Issues. She has so much wisdom to share from her own experience of dieting and eating disorder recovery and work as a Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Eating Disorders Specialist.  

We discuss:

  • Body expectations and how we relate to our body from a young age
  • Challenging and acknowledging our inner dialogue
  • Becoming free from an eating disorder
  • Alli’s book MeaningFULL and her mental health advocacy work
  • A quick reminder that BMI is not an accurate measure of health
  • The false promise of diets
  • Power in positive recovery stories
  • The importance of connection for recovery and overall wellbeing
