When these two disorders are combined, the mortality rate is just staggeringly high, which is kind of shocking, and a lot of people don't know that.
Ever thought about the dangerous mix of eating disorders and addiction? This episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast dives into this very topic with Adina Silvestri from Life Cycles Counseling in Richmond, Virginia. Adina shares her insights on how these two issues often go hand-in-hand, creating a deadly combination that can devastate lives if left untreated. She talks about the silent suffering many endure, battling both anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating alongside substance abuse.
It's a grim reality that men and women can struggle for years without seeking help due to shame and stigma. Adina emphasizes the importance of early intervention and a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a dietician, addiction specialist, and therapist. She also highlights the role of mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga in managing these conditions. You'll learn about the significant impact sugar has on compulsive eating behaviors and why reducing sugar intake can be a game-changer.
If you or someone you know is grappling with these dual demons, this episode offers hope and practical advice on finding a path to recovery. Tune in to hear how a supportive team approach can make all the difference.
