Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast

Lived Experience of Having Both Bulimia & Binge Eating Disorder With Milda Zolubaite @nutrition.path

What’s it really like to have lived experience with both bulimia and binge eating disorder (BED)? In this powerful episode, Dr. Marianne is joined by Registered Nutritional Practitioner Milda Zolubaite (@nutrition.path), who specializes in working with eating disorders. She shares her personal story of navigating life with co-occurring bulimia and BED.

Whether you’re a provider, in recovery yourself, or just looking to better understand the lived realities of bulimia and BED, this episode will leave you feeling informed and inspired.
🎧 Hit play for a real, resonant look into the messiness and hope of recovery.

Complexities of Treating ARFID: How a Neurodivergent-Affirming, Sensory-Attuned Approach Works

Why do so many traditional ARFID treatments feel like they’re missing the mark? (Spoiler: they kind of are.)
In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne breaks down the real-life complexities of treating ARFID—especially when neurodivergence, sensory overwhelm, and nervous system shutdown are part of the picture. If you’ve ever felt like “just try a bite” isn’t cutting it, you’re not imagining things.
We’re talking about a different way forward: one that’s neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, and rooted in regulation—not pressure. You’ll hear how honoring someone’s body, brain, and boundaries leads to more sustainable, shame-free support—and what progress actually looks like when we stop trying to force it.
This one’s for therapists, caregivers, and anyone who’s tired of cookie-cutter advice that doesn’t reflect the lived reality of ARFID.
Tune in to explore how we can meet people where they are—and build safety from the inside out.
🎧 Loved this episode? Ready to go deeper?Whether you're a therapist, dietitian, medical provider, parent of a child with ARFID, or an adult navigating ARFID yourself—this course is for you.
✨ My virtual, self-paced ARFID and Selective Eating course breaks down a neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, trauma-informed approach to ARFID treatment. You'll get nearly one hour of new bonus video content, practical tools, downloadable handouts, and summaries designed to support real-world application—for professionals and lived experience alike.

When Recovery Feels Too Loud: Polyvagal Tools for Overstimulation in Eating Disorders

Ever felt like recovery is just... a lot? Like your brain and body are turning the volume all the way up—on hunger, on emotions, on body awareness—and you can’t find the damn volume knob? You’re not alone. In this solo episode, we’re talking about what it means when recovery feels overstimulating, especially for folks who are neurodivergent or sensitive to sensory input. I’ll walk you through how our nervous systems process all this noise—and how tools from polyvagal theory can help you feel more grounded, safe, and regulated as you heal. If your recovery feels chaotic, intense, or just plain loud, this one’s for you.
💡 And if you’re navigating ARFID or selective eating on top of all that noise, check out my self-paced ARFID and Selective Eating course—it’s packed with support, tools, and insight to help you move at your pace, in a way that honors your unique nervous system.

When Every Bite Feels Like a Battle: Eating While Chronically Ill

Food is supposed to sustain us—but when you’re chronically ill, even the act of eating can feel like an uphill battle. I’ve lived with chronic back pain for 21 years, and I know firsthand how pain, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms can completely reshape your relationship with food. In this solo episode, I’m diving into the emotional, physical, and psychological toll of eating while managing chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, POTS, PCOS, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
The mental and emotional weight of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real. When food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or a way of coping, disordered eating patterns can easily take hold—often without us even realizing it. That’s why it’s so important to understand your needs and ask for accommodations. Asking for help is not a weakness—it’s a deeply necessary act of care in a world that often misunderstands chronic illness.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted by the effort it takes to nourish yourself, this episode is for you.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT...
How chronic illness can make eating physically and emotionally challenging—from symptoms like nausea and pain to fatigue and side effects from medication.
The mental and emotional toll of food decisions, social pressure, and grief around eating is very real.
How disordered eating patterns can develop when food becomes linked with pain, restriction, or coping.
How flexibility, self-compassion, and doing what works for your body are key.
How my personal experience living with chronic back pain for 21 years and how it affected my relationship with food.

The Invisible Hunger: How Masking Shows Up in Recovery

Ever feel like you’re starring in a one-person play called Totally Fine, I Swear? Masking in recovery is real—faking confidence around food, forcing yourself to eat like everyone else, or pretending things aren’t harder than they actually are. And for neurodivergent folks, masking isn’t just a habit—it’s survival. Many autistic and ADHDers learn early on to camouflage their struggles, and that absolutely carries over into eating disorder recovery. In this solo episode, we’re getting real about why we mask, how it messes with healing, and what unmasking can actually look like (spoiler: it’s not about forcing yourself to “just be authentic” overnight). If you’ve ever felt like recovery is a performance, let’s shake off the script and talk about what’s actually going on.
