In this episode of Inclusive Movement & Nutrition Ireland, Maggie sits down with Dr. Marianne Miller, an eating disorder therapist who specialises in ARFID, binge eating disorder, bulimia and anorexia. Dr. Marianne brings a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, sensory-attuned approach to her work, and in this conversation, she helps us understand how eating disorders like ARFID are often misunderstood or missed altogether, especially in neurodivergent individuals.
They explore how sensory sensitivities, trauma, and social expectations can all influence eating behaviours, and how current cultural norms—both in parenting and the wellness industry—can unintentionally worsen disordered eating.
