Vance Goodman, who works as a Service Coordinator for the Council on Aging of Buncombe County, joins Catherine and Francis for a retelling of her inspiring path towards recovery from an eating disorder. Noting that the eating disorder was her trauma (and that trauma had not underpinned the eating disorder) she recalls how medical professionals eventually told her that the symptoms she was experiencing were likely to be with her for life. Discouraged but resilient, Vance eventually found the work of an eating disorder specialist who focused on rewiring the brain's neural pathways and introduced Vance to the concept of energy deficit. While every day brings new successes and challenges, Vance eventually found her path towards recovery. This is her story.
