Recovery Bites Podcast

The Recovery Bites podcast welcomes voices in the field and voices of experience, to get real about eating disorder and mental health recovery.

Join host Karin Lewis, MA, LMFT, CEDS clinical expert and founder of the Karin Lewis Eating Disorder Center, in a catalogue of past episodes featuring candid interviews with experts in eating disorder and mental health recovery.

Listeners can look forward to new perspectives, meaningful conversations, diverse connection, and compelling personal narrative that make a powerful difference in how we live.

Episodes focus on life beyond recovery — the good and the not-so-good, the successes and the challenges, and the authentic accounts of recovered lives. Not their whole story…just bites!
