Eating Disorders Unfiltered
If your teenager has an eating disorder and you don't know whether you're helping or making it worse, this channel is for you.
Eating Disorders Unfiltered is a weekly show for parents trying to understand what's actually happening beneath their child's eating disorder, and what to do with that understanding at home. New episode every week.
Maybe you're already in treatment with a therapist and a dietitian. Maybe you're earlier than that, noticing changes around food, control, mood, or weight that don't quite add up, quietly wondering if this is something. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or disordered eating that doesn't have a clean label yet, you're likely carrying a lot of fear and not a lot of clarity. That's normal here. It's exactly what this show is built for.
Hosted by Candace David, a mental health therapist and Certified Eating Disorders Specialist Consultant with over a decade of experience, every episode translates complex clinical dynamics into plain language you can actually use at home. No shame, no blame, no hype. Just steady, honest education about eating disorders, recovery, parenting through it, and the family system underneath it all.
Here's the monthly rhythm so you know what you're subscribing to:
Professional Conversations: candid interviews with eating disorder professionals and adjacent experts, so you get perspective beyond the treatment room.
Office Hours: real questions from real parents, answered directly and practically. This is where the day-to-day "what do I actually do" lives.
Executive Functioning and Overwhelm: one episode a month on planning, mental load, and managing overwhelm, because recovery asks a lot of the whole family, not just the child.
You did not cause this, and you are not a bystander in your child's recovery. You are one of the most important parts of it. The goal of this channel is simple: to help you become the steady, equipped parent your child needs, without the shame and confusion that usually comes with it.
New here? Start with any episode that names what you're going through right now. You don't have to watch in order.
If you want to go deeper than a weekly show can go, the Between Sessions membership offers structured skills training and ongoing support for parents doing this work. Come watch first. The door is open when you're ready.
