“Causes of an eating disorder” would have to be one of the most searched questions by carers wanting to understand or find a solution to their loved one’s eating disorder.
But could it be that disordered eating is caused by a perfect storm of brain chemistry?
Our guest on Strong Enough Dr Leanne Barron believes with the right interventions, including the introduction of the right gut bacteria and even just trace nutrients, we can restore the delicate balance to jump start recovery after an eating disorder.
Dr Barron is a GP and clinical researcher, with a special interest in eating disorders, working at The Banyans Medical Centre and the QUT Eating Disorder Clinic.
She is full of practical advice for carers of a loved one with an eating disorder on repairing the mind and body. She also has tips on nutrition, waking the body from its triggered hibernation and even reading blood tests properly.
**DISCLAIMER: it is important you speak to your loved one’s medical team about any treatments, blood tests or supplements because every case is unique. Underlying medical conditions, like coeliac disease should also be investigated.
Dr Barron will also walk us through the biology we need to understand how brain chemistry impacts both our mental AND physical health. It might surprise you to find that old foe cholesterol is actually an important friend to those with eating disorders.
