Q&A with Dr Jennifer Gaudiani

This week, we’re joined by Dr Jennifer Gaudiani: eating disorder specialist physician, founder and Medical Director of the Gaudiani Clinic, and author of Sick Enough. Her work has been key in helping shift understanding around what eating disorders actually look like in the body — and we know from personal experience just how powerful an informed, evidence-based voice can be in ED treatment.

So, with that in mind, we sat down with Dr G to explore some of the most common (and often misunderstood) medical concerns in recovery. From why someone can be seriously unwell — despite “normal” bloods — to fears around metabolism, digestion, and weight restoration, this episode challenges the ED mirage of “sick enough” and offers a true understanding of what the body actually needs to heal.

Topics covered:


* Dr Gaudiani’s background


• Why medical markers can appear “normal”


• Feeling “not sick enough” and delaying recovery


• Metabolism, weight restoration, and common fears


• The updated edition of Sick Enough


• Neurodivergence and eating disorder presentation


• Athletes, RED-S, and hidden medical risk


• GLP-1 medications and emerging concerns


• Bloating and digestion


• What supports recovery from a medical perspective
