Throughout her school years she dealt with disordered eating, without knowing that her relationship with food and her body was not normal. She thought that as a teenage girl with curves and a softer stomach she was supposed to "hate" her body and try her best to shrink it. After finishing her a-levels she went to South Africa to do a voluntary service but was horrified at the thought that she might gain weight during that gap year, which ended up in a full-blown eating disorder (anorexy nervosa type II - the binge-restrict type). The year, that was supposed to be THAT year of her life, ended up being a horror trip. Soon everything she could think of was food, how to burn calories and shrink her body. The next two years she dedicated to her recovery journey and educating herself more about eating disorders, nutrition and intuitive eating. Today she can accept and value my body in a way she never even dared to believe would be possible for her and she found passion in supporting others on their way to body acceptance and food freedomFind Doreen on the following platformsMy eating disorder recovery blog, where she also posts weekly Q&A´s and answer her followers and blog readers questions: https://doristrendfood.com/blo....g/recovery-blog/Inst : https://www.instagram.com/doristrendfood/1:1 extreme hunger recovery coaching, where we focus on healing extreme hunger, letting go of food rules and dealing with the changes that come along with recovery.https://doristrendfood.com/ext....reme-hunger-recovery the Host:Chanci Dawn is a non-diet certified nutritionist, mindset and embodiment coach whose soul’s purpose is to help women create the most wildly free and loving relationship with food and their bodies.
