Liv Walde is, simply put, a true warrior.
Imagine facing chaos and tragedy at a young age, only to find solace in controlling your own body. That's exactly what Liv Walde did. Unlike many stories you've heard, Liv didn't turn to overeating for comfort. Instead, she began a grueling battle with anorexia. By the time she was 14, Liv weighed just 77 lbs and was told she wouldn't make it to 16.
Fast forward to today, and Liv is a vibrant, healthy 20-year-old who has fully recovered and is now working to advocate for mental health and eating disorders. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', Jay Casale sits down with Liv to discuss her incredible journey. They touch on the mental health impacts of childhood trauma, the relentless cycle of relapse, and the importance of finding healthy outlets for stress.
Liv also opens up about her struggles with orthorexia and how powerlifting has been a game-changer for her mental well-being. What's particularly fascinating is the connection Liv draws between OCD and eating disorders. She sheds light on how societal beauty standards can wreak havoc on one's self-image and emphasizes the importance of advocacy in mental health. This episode is not just about overcoming adversity; it's about personal growth and the power of conversation.
For anyone dealing with similar struggles or those who have loved ones facing such challenges, Liv's story is a beacon of hope. Her journey from the depths of anorexia to becoming an advocate for mental health is nothing short of inspiring. Tune in to hear Liv's compelling story on 'The Lighter Side with Jay'.
