Episode 132: Welcome back to Real Health Radio. Today's guest interview is with Tabitha Farrar.
Tabitha grew up in Wiltshire, England, in an idyllic (yet rainy) village. Despite being a robust and confident teenager, she developed an eating disorder at age 17 and this devastating illness took pole position in her life until, at 25, she finally started my recovery journey. She successfully recovered from Anorexia Nervosa and the complicated matrix of obsessions and habitual eating disorder behaviours that came with it. She’s now an eating disorder recovery coach and author of Love Fat, an educational memoire on eating disorder recovery and insight, and Rehabilitate, Rewire, Recover! — a recovery guide for adults.
