Hidden Eating Disorders and Breaking Free from Wellness Culture with Lexi Bonilla
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if unhelpful eating & exercise behaviors actually developed to protect you?
Lexi Bonilla, licensed clinical social worker & founder of Inner Bloom Counseling, offers this refreshing perspective on eating disorder recovery you won’t want to miss…
With the premise that "Your body is not a problem to fix, " Lexi shares:
-How eating disorders are far more common & far more invisible than most people realize, affecting all genders, ages, & races
-how normalized behaviors like exercising as punishment or "earning" the right to eat often go completely unrecognized as disordered
-How diet culture exists within a broader social justice lens, connecting the dots between wellness culture's sneaky rebranding, social media's subconscious influence, & the multi-billion dollar industry profiting from body shame
-Powerful strategies like "disobey before you disagree," intuitive eating, & a HAES framework for healing from eating disorders
Lexi weaves together unconditional self-compassion, body respect, & the reminder that your body genuinely wants to be your friend.
This conversation touches on eating disorder awareness in ways that apply to everyone, & you’ll definitely want to hear it for yourself.
