In this deeply moving episode of Candid Minds with Dr. T and Friends, we sit down with Milaena Ferrarese, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian, founder of Healthy Kinnect, and a survivor of a 13-year eating disorder.

Milaena bravely shares her journey from the darkness of disordered eating to becoming a medical nutrition expert. Together, we explore:

-How her eating disorder began, how it evolved, and the mindset shifts that sparked healing.

-Why food is often not the true culprit, but rather the psychological and emotional underpinnings of illness.

-The role of personalized nutrition, fortified by genetic testing, in rekindling a harmonious relationship with food.

-How tackling root causes like self-worth, trauma, and identity can redefine recovery.Insight into the mind-gut connection and why food impacts us far beyond the physical body.

Whether you're on your own path to healing or simply curious about the psychology of nutrition, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and real strategies to nurture both body and soul.
