The SCARY Symptom I Never Expected In Eating Disorder Recovery...

In today's video we're talking all about reactive hypoglycemia. A symptom I never expected to have years after eating disorder recovery.

Back when I recovered from my eating disorder, I thought that eating better automatically meant my body would go completely back to normal right away, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

I experienced hypoglycemic episodes years after my recovery - and to be honest, I didn't get ton of help or answers from the medical experts I knew at the time. And I don't necessarily blame them either!! Reactive Hypoglycemia is not incredibly common, so that makes studying it and learning more about it even more difficult.

There's A LOT I wish I knew back in the day to help improve my symptoms and have less episodes of low-blood sugar. Watch this video to hear my personal hypoglycemia story, and at the end, I'll share with you my top tips to improve symptoms.
