The connection between eating disorders and anxiety has been well established, but what about seeing eating disorders as a form of anxiety? In today's episode of the Liv Label Free Podcast, Livia Sara chats with Chris Sandel, a nutritionist, coach and eating disorder expert. Chris is the founder and owner of Seven Health, a platform through which he helps people with eating disorders fully recover. Chris is trained in several specialties including Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size, polyvagal theory, and trauma. He’s originally from Sydney and now lives in the UK with his wife Ali and 6-year-old son Ramsay. Topics discussed:

• How addressing anxiety can prevent the development or reemergence of eating disorders
• The importance of creating a vision beyond recovery
• Embracing challenges through gradual but repeated exposure to fear foods
• Emphasizing the role of love in healing and holistic recovery rather than focusing solely on meal plans and nutrition
• The Domino Effect in eating disorder recovery
• Recognizing negative thoughts associated with eating disorders as separate from yourself
