  • In today's episode of Holistic Health Radio, I'm joined by Millie Thomas, an eating disorder recovery coach, who shares her personal journey of battling anorexia for 15 years and her miraculous recovery. In our discussion, Millie emphasises the importance of taking ownership of one's recovery and making a conscious, consistent commitment to change. Millie also discusses the role of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in recovery and provides practical advice for those struggling in their recovery journey. She highlights the power of support and the ability to find joy and beauty in life after overcoming an eating disorder.

    Key takeaways include:

    Recovery from an eating disorder is possible, no matter how long or difficult the struggle has been. Taking ownership of one's recovery and making a conscious, consistent commitment to change is crucial. Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can be a powerful tool in changing behaviours and creating new neural pathways. Support from a recovery coach or therapist can provide guidance, accountability, and a safe space to navigate the challenges of recovery. Finding joy and beauty in life after overcoming an eating disorder is possible and worth the effort.
