EP 61: Finding Freedom. Julia Trehane's 40-Year Battle with Anorexia and Path to Recovery

Just Eat Normally: Eating Disorder Recovery

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Julia Trehane, an Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and host of The Fully Free Podcast. Julia speaks candidly about her 40-year battle with anorexia, orthorexia, and exercise addiction—and the moment that changed everything (trigger warning - suicide plans).

Now fully recovered, she supports others through 1:1 coaching, her online recovery community, and weekly podcast episodes that combine compassion, honesty, and lived experience.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Julia’s eating disorder began as a survival strategy in childhood and evolved over decades

• The moment in the woods that became her turning point

• Extreme hunger, what it means to go “all in” with recovery and why it doesn’t look the same for everyone

• Practical ways to quiet your inner critic and build a kinder relationship with yourself

• The possibility of full recovery at any age and no matter how long you’ve struggled
