We are honored to be featured in Voyage STL magazine, highlighting the story of Partners in Wellness! As our 10th anniversary is quickly approaching, it was fun to go back and recall the chaos that ensued as we got Partners in Wellness up and running in just 30 days! Somehow we made it through and are beyond grateful for all that this practice has brought to us and the community. We hope you enjoy our story and a few of our new pics!

We are so indoctrinated to think flat stomachs are more desirable, and I can’t really think of a good reason for it. My stomach is soft for many reasons that make perfect sense. And when my son needs a pillow, I am beyond grateful that my soft belly is comfortable to him because it means I get to cuddle him a little longer ❤️.

If you’re around elementary or middle school aged boys, you know it… that repetitive, annoying sound of “6-7, 6-7, 6-7.” I’m all about the laughter and connection it brings to kids, but really… what does 6-7 even mean? Not a whole lot. They are numbers that became popular. Let’s take a lesson from the 6-7 craze… numbers don’t always mean anything. What numbers are you getting stuck on?

Pounds?

Calories?

Protein grams?

BMI?

Steps?

Strength training reps?

The list never ends, but which ones are popular does change. Cue incoming… “4-1.” Here we go again…

Our next VIRTUAL CAREGIVER WORKSHOP for eating disorders is set for Nov 21 & 22! Don’t take our word for it- hear from parents who have attended the workshop themselves. See below!

“Before our daughter was admitted to a residential treatment program, we thought we were practicing FBT for the six months prior, but without success. It wasn’t until we started working with Partners in Wellness that we got a real understanding of what FBT is and gained the tools and confidence to support our child at home after being discharged from treatment.”

“You made me feel like we can be saved.”

“Well worth the time and investment. It was amazing to see how Laura and Cherie could name exactly the experiences that ED brings to the family and how to respond to them.”

“This is what we needed to know 2 years ago, but just found out today. I wish our pediatrician or the children’s hospital ED clinic had told us!”

“Do the workshop. You will gain confidence!”

We are hard at work preparing for the next Caregiver Workshop scheduled for November 21st and 22nd. When parents have good information and feel empowered to take action, their children have a much higher chance of recovering from their eating disorder.

Food trends are likely here to stay. But that’s all they are- trends. And like low-rise jeans, they go in and out of style as decades pass. Just because a food is popular, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better for you or good for your health. It can be fun to try new recipes and experiment with some of these food trends, but be sure to keep it in perspective. Your body’s needs don’t change just because cottage cheese toast went viral.

Part of the fun of Halloween is enjoying candy. Unfortunately for people struggling with an eating disorder- eating Halloween candy may require them to use food rituals such as taking tiny bites, breaking it apart, frequent breaks, etc. These rituals can look very odd. We all have a favorite ways to eat a Reese, that does not necessarily mean that there is an eating disorder present. It is the joyless or robotic nature that is concerning!

Following the huge success of the movie K-Pop Demon Hunters from , we will be seeing little K-Pop demon hunters trick or treating around every corner this Halloween! But the truth is, we don’t need yet another movie to tell us that thin, beautiful women save the day again. “Because real life badasses have thighs that rub and stomachs that roll.” The first step to protecting yourself and your kids from this media influence, is to notice it. When you do, you’ll start seeing it everywhere. And talk about it. As I said to my daughter, “That’s so weird that all the demon hunters have such long legs. That’s not how real people look.” We have to teach ourselves and our kids to be more critical consumers of the media. If we don’t, those unspoken messages seep in.

It’s Halloween week and the candy is about to start flowing! It can be hard as a parent to know how to navigate candy… we want our kids to have fun but we also care about their health. Remember, candy is about more than calories and sugar, it’s about excitement, fun and celebration. Many of us as adults get a little twitchy when we see our kids eat waaay more candy than usual. But that is completely normal and actually just part of celebrating Halloween. Their health and nutrition will not be determined by a few hours (and neither will yours).
