  • How Marianne got into eating disorder coaching.

  • We demystifying the following:

    ❌ BED is just an excuse for people who are “greedy”.

    ❌ BED is a food addiction.

    ❌ BED has “look” or “size”, and that's why it's often being discussed in tangent with obesity, particularly in research.

    ❌ BED recovery means going on a diet or restricting your food intake.

    ❌ BED is anorexia without willpower.

    ❌ Recovery from a long-term eating disorder or when you’ve had different types of eating disorders is possible.

  • How someone may transition from one eating disorder to the other.

  • Medical treatments and therapeutic options for BED which have shown promising results.
