Show Notes
Episode description:
Research suggests that up to half of people with eating disorders also struggle with substance misuse, and about 35% of people with substance use disorder also have an eating disorder. In this episode, Jillian breaks down why these conditions so often overlap, what’s happening inside the brain when they do, and why treating them as separate issues can work against recovery.
If you or someone you care about is navigating both an eating disorder and a substance use disorder, this episode is a useful place to start. As Jillian affirms, “It is never too late, and it is never too early to reach out for help.”
We cover:
Why SUDs and EDs co-occur as frequently as they do
The role of shame in driving and maintaining these cycles
How treatment is typically sequenced, and why that order matters
Why going at it alone makes healing harder
