We are sharing a research opportunity focused on an area of eating disorders that is often less talked about.

Fathers play an important role in care and support, yet their experiences are not often explored or understood.

If you or someone you know may be interested in participating, more information is available in the post.

Spending some time in New York with my son this week 💚

It was a treat to see .herring going international, visiting the herring lab on the Upper West Side. Such fun witnessing the magic of creating new dishes with delicious ingredients like gochujang, jalapenos, honey, shallots, soy sauce and letting the herring or cured salmon marinade. The wonder, excitement and satisfaction from the lucky eaters was precious!

Who would have guessed that an age old cultural food could be modernised for today.

Grateful for this time together (and for some very good herring and salmon 😊)

Trying new foods in ARFID recovery brings up fear, sensory overwhelm, anxiety, and/or discomfort.

That discomfort feels very real. It often makes the body want to pull away, avoid, or stay with what feels safest.

At the same time, discomfort does not always mean danger.

Part of ARFID recovery involves slowly helping the nervous system learn that some new foods, textures, or situations feel uncomfortable without actually being harmful.

Sometimes people ask, “Do you like it?” after trying a new food. But when something is new, avoided, or feels scary, the answer will almost always be no. That does not mean the exposure was unsuccessful. It often means the body is still getting used to something unfamiliar.

Shifting the focus away from liking the food right away makes more room for curiosity, familiarity, and support over time.

This does not mean forcing foods or pushing too far too quickly. Support usually works best when it feels gradual, structured, and compassionate.

Recovery is not about getting rid of discomfort completely. It is about learning that you can move through some discomfort safely, with support.

Today marks Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This is a time to honour and remember the six million Jewish people who were murdered, along with the lives, families, and communities forever impacted.

Across the world, people pause to reflect, to listen to survivor stories, and to ensure that this history is not forgotten.

Remembrance is about holding space for truth, for education, and for the responsibility to care for one another in the present.

In moments like this, we are reminded of the importance of dignity, compassion, and the value of every human life🕯️

World Health Day invites us to think about what health really means.

Health is not just numbers, weight, or appearance.

It includes feeling safe in your body, having enough nourishment, and being able to live your life with a sense of steadiness and care.

For those in eating disorder recovery, health can look different from what is often shown online or in conversations around “wellness.”

Sometimes it means eating regularly even when it feels uncomfortable.

Sometimes it means resting.

Sometimes it means choosing consistency over control.

This year’s theme, Together for health. Stand with science, reminds us that care should be grounded in evidence, compassion, and respect for the whole person.

You deserve support that honours both your physical and mental wellbeing.

💬 What does health look like for you right now?

Passover is a time that centres around freedom.

A reflection on liberation, history, and the meaning of being able to live with greater choice and dignity.

At the same time, for those navigating eating difficulties or recovery, this period can feel complex.

Changes in food types, meal structure, portion sizes, and timing over several days can be challenging. When eating patterns shift and certain foods are restricted, it can bring up anxiety, rigidity, or a sense of losing flexibility around food.

You might feel pressure to participate in ways that do not fully align with what your body needs right now. You might notice old patterns or thoughts becoming louder.

Nothing here is about doing it “right” or wrong. It is about recognising that food freedom can look different for each person, especially during times of cultural and religious change.

Caring for your body, staying nourished, and finding flexibility where you can is still allowed.

💬How are you taking care of yourself during this time?

Sometimes food stops feeling enjoyable.

Meals can begin to feel like something you have to get through rather than something you look forward to. Flavours may feel muted. Hunger cues may feel confusing. Eating can feel emotionally heavy or disconnected.

This experience can show up during periods of stress, burnout, low mood, appetite changes, recovery work, or major life transitions. It does not mean you are doing something wrong. It often reflects how your nervous system and emotional world are responding to what you are carrying.

Even when food feels complicated, your body still needs nourishment, consistency, and care. Gentle structure, supportive routines, and compassionate understanding can help rebuild trust with eating over time.

If this feels familiar,
💬 have you ever gone through a phase when eating felt more like effort than enjoyment?

Today marks the Spring Equinox, a natural turning point into longer days, gradual warmth, and new growth.

For many people, seasonal shifts can also bring reflection about routines, energy, nourishment, and the relationship they have with their bodies. Renewal does not need to be intense or restrictive. It can begin with small, steady acts of care such as eating consistently, noticing physical cues, and creating rhythms that feel safer and more supportive.

Rebuilding trust with food and with the body often happens quietly over time. Gentleness and patience can make change feel more sustainable.

🌸What is one small way you are caring for yourself right now?

ARFID is often misunderstood as “picky eating.”

In reality, many people living with ARFID are not avoiding foods out of preference or stubbornness.

Avoidance can be linked to fear, sensory overwhelm, past experiences with choking or illness, or a strong need for predictability and safety around food.

What may look like resistance from the outside is often the nervous system trying to protect itself.

Support in ARFID recovery is usually gentle, structured, and gradual. Exposure can feel uncomfortable, yet that discomfort does not mean something is going wrong. With the right pacing and compassionate guidance, new experiences with food can become more manageable over time.

Understanding ARFID helps shift the conversation from judgement to curiosity and care.
