129. An Eating Disorder Recovery Story ft. Christie Dondero; @rockrecoveryed

The Food Freedom Lab™ with Ryann Nicole

Today I am welcoming guest Christie Dondero Bettey from Rock Recovery to the Food Freedom Lab to share her personal story of recovering from binge eating. Christie has served for almost a decade as the Executive Director for Rock Recovery, a DC-based nonprofit that helps clients and communities overcome disordered eating by combining clinical, community and spiritual care. Having gone through recovery herself, she understands the depth of support needed to recover and how painful yet beautiful the journey to healing can be. Few things make her angrier than diet culture, and she is passionate about spreading the message that complete freedom from disordered eating is possible. She is an active speaker and shares her story with organizations and media outlets across the country. While a true city girl at heart, Christie now resides in the suburbs of Washington, DC with her husband, Ryan and her daughter, Viviana.
