Real Health Radio Interview

Victoria Kleinsman
About this episode

Welcome back to The Body Love Binge podcast! Today, I’ve got something extra special for you. I’m sharing an interview I did on Chris Sandel's Real Health Radio podcast because the conversation was so valuable, I knew I had to repurpose it here for all of you.

In this episode, Chris and I dive deep into my 20-year battle with an eating disorder, how I escaped an abusive relationship, and ultimately, how I reached full recovery. We talk about the journey from body hate to body love and so much more.

If you’re new here, I’m Victoria Kleinsman—an eating disorder and abuse survivor, food freedom and body love coach, podcast host, speaker, and writer. My mission is to guide you on a journey to discover food freedom, build a loving relationship with your body, and fall deeply in love with yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

  • My complicated relationship with food from childhood and how I developed anorexia
  • The genetic component of eating disorders and how it showed up in my family
  • The ups and downs of my recovery, from bulimia to finally achieving full food freedom
  • How I escaped an abusive relationship and turned my life around to become a coach
  • Practical tips to help you develop body positivity and unconditional self-love

We also touch on important topics like:

  • Why unrestricted eating is so crucial to recovery
  • Whether you should keep binge foods in the house
  • And the reality that eating disorders can affect all body types

There’s so much goodness packed into this interview, and I’m so grateful to Chris for creating space for this important conversation. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!
