Imagine facing the dual challenges of an eating disorder and substance abuse. In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield sits down with Chelsea Kronengold from the National Eating Disorders Association to unpack these overlapping issues. They dive into how both disorders often stem from similar roots like depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Chelsea sheds light on the physical toll these disorders take and the societal stigma that makes seeking help even harder.
Corey and Chelsea discuss how eating disorders and substance abuse are not choices but coping mechanisms for deeper problems. The conversation also touches on the grim reality that both disorders share similar risk factors for suicidality. Chelsea emphasizes the importance of understanding and compassion when talking to loved ones about these issues. She suggests offering support rather than criticism and highlights the need for better resources and treatment options.
The episode is a heartfelt call to action for better education and resources to support those struggling with eating disorders and substance abuse. Corey and Chelsea’s discussion is not just informative but also deeply empathetic, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by these issues.
