In this episode, my Heart Led Eating client Georgia shares how she went from teenage restriction that led to a three-month hospitalization, years of binge-purge cycles, over-exercise, temporary “fixes” that always collapsed, gut destruction after a relapse, and a long stretch of feeling like something deeper was missing… to finally uncovering the nervous-system root and eating like a naturally thin woman with no food noise, seamless excess release, and the ability to just live for the first time in 15 years.
