Why Is Anorexia Showing Up Again in Midlife? You’re Not Imagining It.

Anorexia isn’t just a teen or young adult diagnosis. For many people, it’s resurfacing or emerging for the first time in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores the resurgence of anorexia in midlife through a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and sensory-attuned lens. We unpack why these restrictive patterns may return (or appear for the first time), how anorexia often presents differently later in life, and what kind of support can actually help.

Whether you are navigating body image distress, a changing identity, hormonal shifts, grief, or caregiving burnout—this conversation will help you feel seen, validated, and not alone.

🎧 Plus, if you’re exploring binge-restrict cycles or emotional eating patterns in midlife, check out Dr. Marianne’s Binge Eating Recovery Membership—a virtual, self-paced space for gentle, non-shaming support.
