In today’s digital society, children are bombarded with images of supposed perfection. According to recent statistics from the NHS, the struggle with body image and food among young people has surged alarmingly in recent years, with children as young as six years old being diagnosed with an eating disorder.
Behind these numbers lie stories of silent battles, where young minds grapple with complex emotions and societal pressures that often remain unseen and misunderstood.
In today’s episode of the Family Health Podcast, we chat with Olivia, a body image coach and Pernille, Founder and CEO of MindBlossom about eating disorders.
This episode comes with a gentle warning that both Olivia and Pernille share their own personal struggles with eating disorders as well as talking to us more generally about what might be going on in a young person's mind that might drive them towards an eating disorder and those sometimes subtle signs that your child might be struggling.
