Why do so many middle-aged women struggle with eating disorders? In this episode of The Abundance Alchemist Podcast, host Caitlyn Dorsey sits down with Nicole Christina, an award-winning podcaster and psychotherapist with over three decades of experience in eating disorders.

They offer practical advice on how to identify these issues and start meaningful conversations with loved ones about seeking help. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the complexities of disordered eating and challenge the societal norms that perpetuate it.
