  Ep. 297 Fit Isn't Failure: Celebrity Stylist Jenni Lee on Why Your Closet Isn't the Enemy

  Sep 24, 202649 min

  In this enlightening episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with celebrity stylist and image consultant Jenni Lee to deconstruct the stressful relationship many women have with their wardrobes. For those struggling with body image or eating disorders, clothing can often feel like a daily battleground of triggers and self-judgment. Jenni Lee shares her "more styling, less shopping" philosophy, explaining how the fashion industry’s inconsistent sizing and the poor quality of "fast fashion" are designed to make the consumer feel at fault, rather than the garment. By reframing the body as a "soft sculpture" and a work of art in progress, Jenni provides listeners with practical tools to reclaim their confidence and treat getting dressed as a form of self-care and identity-expression rather than a measure of worth.

  Ep. 296 Supporting a Loved One With an Eating Disorder: You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone With Cherie Monarch and Nancy Clarkson

  Sep 10, 202644 min

  What happens when your child is battling a serious, potentially life-threatening illness, but instead of being empowered to help, you are told to stand back, stay quiet, and stay out of the way? In this deeply compassionate episode of Behind the Bite, Dr. Cristina Castagnini is joined by Cherie Monarch and Nancy Clarkson, two incredible advocates and mothers who lived through the terrifying reality of navigating their daughters' eating disorders in an era of intense parental blame. Together, they discuss the immense fear, isolation, and guilt that caregivers face, and they shed light on "Mom2Mom"—an online support community they lead to educate and arm mothers with the resources they so desperately need. Reframing eating disorders as serious, brain-based biological illnesses rather than behavioral choices, Cherie and Nancy explain why recovery often requires counterintuitive decisions, why prioritizing long-term wellness over short-term happiness is vital, and how families can access a network of support to ensure they never have to walk this road alone.

  Aug 27, 202653 min

  In this powerful episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Toni Curtis, the founder of Birthwise, to explore the profound loneliness and frustration that comes with being dismissed by the medical establishment. After suffering the tragic loss of her brother to a medical error and facing nearly two decades of "unexplained" infertility and chronic health struggles, Toni refused to accept the verdict that her body was a problem to be solved. Together, they discuss the transition from viewing the body as a collection of clinical parts to understanding it as a whole system requiring patience, curiosity, and somatic care. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt "small" in a doctor’s office and is seeking a path toward reclaiming their autonomy and trusting their body’s inherent wisdom.

  Ep. 294 A Body, a Backstory, and Recovery: Tamie Gangloff On Chronic Illness, Eating Disorders, and Alcohol

  Aug 13, 202639 min

  In this episode of Behind the Bite, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with therapist, educator, and author Tamie Gangloff to explore the profound intersection of chronic illness, eating disorders, and substance use. After being diagnosed with scoliosis as a child and struggling with the shame of being told she had a "deformity," Tamie developed a deeply distorted relationship with her body and food, eventually turning to alcohol as a way to cope with severe self-consciousness. Through an open and honest conversation about her non-linear journey—which involved medical trauma, multiple spinal surgeries, and navigating inadequate insurance coverage—Tamie shares how identifying her underlying medical PTSD was the key to unlocking true recovery. This episode serves as an insightful resource for anyone seeking to understand how physical ailments shape identity and why professional, trauma-informed support is essential on the path to healing.
