We should be looking at that person's mental state, not their weight, but also to realize that actually someone's weight is healthy at a different size.
Ever wondered how eating disorders can be misdiagnosed? In this episode of TRIBE TALK, Emily Andrew sits down with Hope Virgo, an author and mental health campaigner who’s on a mission to change that. Hope, who penned 'Stand Tall Little Girl', shares her personal journey through anorexia and the pivotal moments that led her to advocate for the #DumpTheScales campaign. Her story is a powerful reminder that eating disorders aren't just about weight but encompass a range of life-altering symptoms.
Hope's campaign pushes for a diagnostic approach that looks beyond the scales and considers the overall mental well-being of individuals. Throughout their conversation, Emily and Hope discuss the broader impact of eating disorders on families and different cultural backgrounds, debunking the myth that these issues only affect teenage white girls. With a mix of heartfelt stories and insightful discussions, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, early intervention, and advocacy.
Plus, you'll get to hear some light-hearted moments, including a few mischievous interruptions from Emily's playful puppy. Tune in to learn more about Hope's inspiring work and join the movement to redefine how we understand and treat eating disorders.
