If you've been curious about the long-term physical effects of eating disorders and dieting, this episode is for you. We're talking about what eating disorders can leave behind physically, and the hope that Jesus can still bring healing.

This episode came from a brave listener request in our community about the long-term effects of eating disorders and dieting, and what healing can look like over time. Friend, if you’ve been carrying that question too, this conversation is for you.

Angela Lemond is a registered dietitian and licensed professional counselor who's walked this path both personally and professionally. She gets it, and her wisdom is such a gift.

Angela shares the long-term effects many of us don't talk about, things like bone health, hormones, muscle loss, and heart health, especially as we age. But we're also talking about hope, because Jesus redeems. Even when there are physical scars, Jesus is still at work in our stories.
