In today’s podcast, I talk to the lovely Carolina Mountford, who is a Mental Health Advocate, Speaker and Writer and we discuss Eating Disorders, her specialism. We cover a lot of ground in this podcast about eating disorders and I can’t stress enough how important the detail is, if you’re raising children. Carolina is so open and initially talks about her struggle with eating disorders and her tricky relationship with her mother.

She then goes onto cover the:

Basics of eating disorders,
Causes of eating disorders,
How to recognise an eating disorder.
What to do if you think your child has an eating disorder.
How to help someone with one.
How to avoid your children developing an eating disorder.
When is it appropriate to introduce a child to exercise.
