Renourish: A Complete and Compassionate Guide to Recovery from Eating Disorders
"Through their advocacy, collaboration and deep dedication to improving outcomes for individuals, Warren and Lexi continue to make a meaningful contribution to the eating disorder sector." --Butterfly Foundation
A step-by-step guide to resetting your relationship with food, renourishing your body and brain, and finding mental freedom from eating disorders.
Do you or someone you care about struggle with an eating disorder?
RENOURISH is your compassionate, evidence-based guide to recovery from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and other eating-related conditions.
Authors Dr. Warren Ward, psychiatrist and director of a leading eating disorder program, and Lexi Crouch, clinical nutritionist and recovered anorexia survivor, have dedicated their lives to helping people heal. In RENOURISH, they combine the latest scientific research, clinical insight, and lived experience to help you reset your relationship with food, your body, and your mind.
They explain how the malnourished brain works--and how it can trap us in the rigid thinking, rules, and rituals characteristic of eating disorders, disconnecting us from agency, joy, and self-trust.
Drawing on patient stories, reflective exercises, and cutting-edge research, Warren and Lexi guide readers through three proven steps to recovery. Compassionate, practical, and accessible, RENOURISH offers a clear pathway toward physical restoration and emotional freedom.
