As we observe National Women's Health Week (May 10-16, 2026), the conversation often turns toward preventative screenings, physical activity, and hormonal health. These are essential pillars of wellbeing. However, for many women, particularly those who are neurodivergent or navigating complex relationships with food and their bodies, standard health advice can feel like a "mismatch" rather than a roadmap. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we believe that true health is not a pe

As we move into National Women’s Health Week (May 10–16), it is common to see a surge of messages focused on "getting healthy" or "transforming your body." Often, these messages carry an underlying tone that suggests your body is a problem to be solved or a project to be completed. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we want to offer a different perspective. We believe that reclaiming your relationship with your body and nutrition isn’t about meeting a specific aesthetic standard

For many people navigating the landscape of an eating disorder, the journey often feels like it is governed by a singular, rigid metric: weight. From the early days of diagnosis to the clinical milestones of treatment, the focus is frequently directed toward physical restoration. While physiological stabilization is an essential foundation, it is not the destination. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we understand that being "weight restored" is not the same as being "recovered

For decades, the Body Mass Index (BMI) has been used as the primary gatekeeper for eating disorder support. It has often been the "metric of entry": the number that decides whether someone is "sick enough" for clinical intervention. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we believe this reliance on a single numerical value is a fundamental mismatch. It doesn't reflect the complex, internal reality of an eating disorder, nor does it account for the diverse ways these conditions manif

For many parents, Maternal Health Week brings a mix of emotions. It’s a time when the spotlight finally shines on the immense pressure of raising children, but for those of us navigating an eating disorder, it can also highlight a gap in care. If you’ve ever reached out for help only to be handed a standard diagnosis that didn’t quite fit your life, or if you’ve felt that treatment models were trying to squeeze you into a box that didn't account for your neurodivergent brain,

For many, the idea of a "family meal" or a "relaxed dinner" is associated with warmth and connection. However, if you or your child experience Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) or significant sensory sensitivities, mealtimes can often feel like a high-stakes sensory gauntlet. The clash of clinking cutlery, the overwhelming scent of steaming vegetables, and the unpredictable textures on a plate can trigger a physiological "fight or flight" response before a sin

As we enter May, we observe BPD Awareness Month: a time dedicated to increasing understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder, also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD). At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we believe this month is an essential opportunity to discuss the profound and often overlooked intersection between BPD and eating disorders. For many individuals, an eating disorder is not purely about food or body shape. Instead, it is a complex tool u

For too long, the cultural narrative surrounding eating disorders has been narrow, rigid, and ultimately exclusionary. When we think of an "eating disorder," the image that often comes to mind: the one reinforced by media and historically by medical systems: is that of a young, white, emaciated cisgender woman. But this "look" is a myth. At The Eating Disorders Clinic, we know that eating disorders are heterogeneous. They do not discriminate based on age, gender identity, rac
