What if the question isn’t whether you’re “sick enough”… but whether your body has been paying the price in silence?So many women stay stuck in food rules and under-fueling because everything looks fine on the surface. Labs come back “normal.” Life keeps moving. And the lie whispers that help is only for people who’ve hit rock bottom — not someone like you who’s still holding it together.In today’s episode, I sit down with Tanna Vayon, a Physician Assistant specialized in eating disorder treatment, who has lived this story from the inside herself and now treats it from the clinical side.
