If you believe someone you know or love might have an eating disorder, you can feel at a loss for how to help, support, or bring up the subject with them. Having entered full recovery from her eating disorder solo without intervention from healthcare professionals or a living facility, Kylie has a unique perspective on how to 1) identify patterns that may signal a problem, 2) raise the discussion with your loved one, 3) think through scenarios and plan for responsiveness and 4) approach the topic with sincerity, calm, and love.

Kylie will unveil the tips she'd encourage anyone looking to approach a loved one with in this episode, along with advice on how those in the midst of an eating disorder might be feeling mentally and physically, and why your ask to support or help could be viewed as a threat.

This is an incredibly important episode for anyone - whether you have personally gone through or experienced concern over an individual potentially going through an eating disorder.
