In this deep and empowering episode, Victoria sits down with Dr. Jillian Lampert – VP of the Emily Program and President of REDC – to talk about what traditional ED treatment is missing, why recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, and how our society’s obsession with weight is doing real harm. They dive into the neurobiological roots of eating disorders, discuss GLP-1 medications, and explore the roles of ADHD, autism, and trauma in ED development. This episode is packed with truth bombs, fierce compassion, and a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible – it’s worth it.
