Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse -071 - Deirdre Fusco

Weighing In On Happy with Victoria Evans Official

Did you know that 50% of individuals with eating disorders abused alcohol or illicit drugs at a rate of 5x higher than the general population?

This is exactly why I have invited Deirdre Fusco, Licensed Practical Nurse and expert on substance abuse onto the podcast today.

Deidre and I discuss:

• Holistic approaches to recovery
• Using H.A.L.T in healing
• The Minnesota Starvation Experiment
• How to avoid symptom swapping
• Mental health impacts from dieting

Plus much more!
