In this episode of Food For Thought, I sit down with my best friend for an honest and heartfelt conversation about what it really means to support someone through an eating disorder. Together, we reflect on the early days before he knew what I was going through, the difficult and scary moments we’ve faced, and how our communication has grown stronger through it all. We talk about the difference between supporting and enabling, what he’s learned along the way, and how friends and loved ones can show up with compassion while also setting healthy boundaries.

Whether you’re navigating recovery yourself or want to better support someone you care about, this episode offers a candid look into the ups and downs of being part of a support system and the impact that patience, honesty, and understanding can make.
