In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I’m joined by Anne Richardson, RD (@theeatingdisordernutritionist), to talk about the disturbing return of the super skinny ideal—and how this 90s-era body trend is resurfacing in modern media and pop culture. From TikTok to fashion runways, the thin ideal is back, fueling body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, and a dangerous normalization of extreme thinness.

In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, George speaks with Anne, a Registered Nutritional Therapist, lecturer, and supervisor. She has been practising for more than ten years and exclusively works in the field of disordered eating. Anne suffered with anorexia in her teens and now draws from her lived experience to blend her knowledge of nutrition with her CBT skills. She works with people all over Europe to help them achieve food freedom. She is also invested in helping other practitioners work with disordered eaters as she recognises that general nutritional advice can be extremely damaging to disordered eaters. 

I chat with Anne Richardson, aka @theeatingdisordernutritionist, to explore her incredible journey of eating disorder recovery across two countries—France and England. Anne shares how navigating different cultures, varying levels of anti-fat bias, and personal challenges shaped her path to healing. From confronting food anxieties in a small village in France to building a support network abroad, her story offers a unique perspective on the complex process of recovery. Whether you’re on your own journey or supporting a loved one, Anne’s experience provides inspiration and valuable insights. Let’s dive into her powerful story!

Anne’s home life was chaotic due, mostly, to her unpredictable father who wished that Anne had been a boy.

Her anorexia kicked in from the ages of 16 – 21. She knew she’d never recover at home so she packed her bags and moved to London where she rebuilt her life.

In this episode we explore Anne’s relationship with her father and how his absence still resonates.  

In this episode, I speak with Anne Richardson, a Registered Nutritional Therapist who has been practicing for more than ten years and who exclusively works in the field of disordered eating. 

In this episode we will be discussing:

• What is biohacking
• How biohacking could be detrimental to disordered eaters
• Perfectionism and anorexia
• The impact of an eating disorder on your life
• Defining yourself as more than a body 
• Using self-talk as a tool 

Today I’m chatting to Anne, The Eating Disorder Nutritionist, all about how we view food and helpful ways of eating in recovery.

In this episode, I speak about “food as an ally” with Anne Richardson, a registered nutritionist who exclusively works with disorder eaters whether they have received a formal diagnosis or not.

Here we talk about the challenges with healing from an eating disorder, the importance of including nutrition and a nutrition professional as part of the recovery team.

Food is an ally in recovery and not the enemy that the eating disorder is trying to make it out to be. 

Today I have a returning guest to the podcast – Anne Richardson – of Crunch Nutrition (@theeatingdisordernutritionist on IG) and soon to be The Eating Disorder Nutritionist on the web! Anne is a registered nutritional therapist, and she blends nutrition with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help people have a better relationship with food and their bodies.

In our conversation, Anne talks recovery tips and skills, particularly if you are trying to manage weight restoration and heal. She also explores the use of words in relation to food, as words have incredible power and the language we use around food has the potential to help or hinder us. I hope that you enjoy the episode.

Today, I have another returning guest and I’m talking to Anne Richardson, a Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Anne is returning for her third conversation to The Eating Disorder Therapist Podcast. She supports people in recovery from eating disorders and helps them to learn to eat again. Anne grew up in France, in a culture, where thinness was a normality. In a previous episode on this podcast, she talks about her own recovery from anorexia nervosa in her teens; her thoughts on French women and slenderness; eating disorders in men; wellness culture and the many myths around nutrition. Do check out the episode linked below.
