  • Taste, Texture, & Smell: How Sensory Sensitivities Affect Autistics' Experiences With Food

    Taste, Texture, & Smell: How Sensory Sensitivities Affect Autistics' Experiences With Food
    Sep 19 2025

    What if your sensory needs around food were not something to fix, but something to honor?

    In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how taste, texture, and smell can shape food experiences for autistic people, especially those struggling with ARFID or longstanding selective eating. For many neurodivergent folks, eating is not just about hunger or nutrition. It is about navigating an overwhelming sensory world where food can trigger discomfort, distress, or shutdown.

    In this episode, Dr. Marianne challenges the idea that “picky eating” (not a fan of this term) is a behavioral issue. She instead centers a neurodivergent-affirming lens. Dr. Marianne explains why certain tastes may be too intense, why some textures are intolerable, and how even the smell of cooking can completely derail someone’s ability to eat. Rather than dismissing these experiences, she offers a framework that respects the wisdom of the sensory system and centers bodily autonomy.

    Throughout the episode, Dr. Marianne also highlights how intersecting identities influence whose sensory needs get honored and whose get ignored. Fat autistic people are more likely to be accused of bingeing instead of being screened for ARFID. Autistic people of color may be labeled as oppositional instead of recognized as overwhelmed. Trans and nonbinary folks may feel especially vulnerable to dysphoria or sensory shutdown. When treatment spaces fail to consider these intersections, they increase the risk of harm and deepen eating-related trauma.

    Listeners will come away with a greater understanding of what sensory-based food aversions really are and how we can create supportive environments that do not rely on compliance, but rather collaboration, compassion, and choice.

    Content Caution

    About halfway through the episode, Dr. Marianne discusses common invalidating experiences autistic people have in treatment, including being coerced into eating foods that feel unsafe, ignored by providers, or misdiagnosed because of anti-fat bias or racism. There are no graphic food descriptions, but this part may be activating for folks who have experienced treatment trauma or food-related distress.

  • When Words Harm: The Link Between Childhood Verbal Abuse & Disordered Eating (Content Caution)

    When Words Harm: The Link Between Childhood Verbal Abuse & Disordered Eating (Content Caution)
    Sep 17 2025
    What happens when the most painful wounds from childhood were not physical but verbal (or were both)? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores how childhood verbal abuse shapes our relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Words like "You're too much," "Are you really going to eat that?" or "You’d be pretty if you lost weight" do not just pass through us. They often take root and become beliefs that fuel restriction, binge eating, ARFID, and body distrust. These early messages are rarely named in traditional eating disorder care, yet they are at the center of how so many people learn to disconnect from their own needs. This episode also takes a close look at intersectionality and how verbal abuse is often amplified when it lands on marginalized identities. Fat children, neurodivergent kids, BIPOC youth, disabled teens, and queer or trans kids often receive more frequent and more punishing verbal messages about food, emotions, and appearance. These experiences are not isolated. They are shaped by broader systems that devalue certain bodies and behaviors while demanding compliance and control. Dr. Marianne outlines how those messages become internalized and how they show up decades later in eating struggles that are often misunderstood or minimized by standard care. Rather than framing recovery around food rules or rigid programs, this episode invites you to imagine a different path. One that centers truth, autonomy, compassion, and body liberation. Whether you are navigating ARFID, binge eating, restriction, or an unnameable discomfort with food, this conversation offers validation and a starting point for deeper healing. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE The many forms verbal abuse can take in childhood How shaming language around food and body shapes long-term eating patterns Why intersectionality matters in recovery How internalized shame drives disordered eating Why traditional eating disorder treatment often fails marginalized clients What a neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-attuned, liberation-focused approach looks like CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses verbal abuse, body shaming, disordered eating, and childhood trauma. Please care for your nervous system while listening. Take breaks, skip, or pause when needed. THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF . . . You were criticized or mocked for your body, eating habits, or emotions as a child You live in a larger body or identify as neurodivergent, BIPOC, disabled, queer, or trans You experience food restriction, binge eating, or fear-based eating You are seeking eating disorder recovery that respects your lived experience You want support that centers your nervous system and autonomy RELATED EPISODES Childhood Trauma and Eating Disorders on Apple & Spotify.How Childhood Trauma Shapes Eating Disorders & Body Shame (Content Caution) on Apple & Spotify.Using EMDR & Polyvagal Theory to Treat Trauma & Eating Disorders with Dr. Danielle Hiestand, LMFT, CEDS-S on Apple & Spotify. WORK WITH DR. MARIANNE Dr. Marianne Miller is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with teens and adults in California, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

Dr. Marianne supports clients in larger bodies, those navigating chronic illness, sensory sensitivities, and those who live at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. She believes recovery should not be about compliance or perfection. It should be about truth, autonomy, and building a relationship with food and body that is rooted in safety and dignity.

  • Lived Experiences of Men With Eating Disorders: Research & Reflection With George Mycock @myo_minds

    Lived Experiences of Men With Eating Disorders: Research & Reflection With George Mycock @myo_minds
    Sep 15 2025

    What does it mean for men to navigate eating disorders in systems often designed without them in mind? In this conversation, George Mycock, PhD student and founder of MyoMinds, returns to Dr. Marianne-Land for the third time to share the evolution of his research and lived experience.

    Together, Dr. Marianne and George unpack what his multi-year studies reveal about barriers men face in seeking help, how treatment systems may unintentionally exclude them, and what can be done to make services more inclusive and effective. From the absence of representation in outreach materials to clinician bias in diagnosing and treating men, George highlights systemic gaps—and the hope that comes from centering men’s own voices in solutions.

    In This Episode:

    • Why George has structured his PhD around muscularity-oriented issues such as muscle dysmorphia, exercise addiction, and disordered eating

    • Findings from his studies on organizational and systemic barriers that prevent men from accessing eating disorder care

    • How imagery and outreach materials often alienate men, and what services can do differently

    • The importance of lived experience research and co-designing resources with men themselves

    • How messages of “it’s okay not to be okay” may fall short, and why men often need purpose-driven, hopeful framing instead

    • Practical ways providers can support men without pigeonholing their experiences

    George reminds us that there is no one “male experience” of eating disorders, and shares why focusing on diversity, autonomy, and agency is essential in both research and treatment.
