From Maine to Norfolk: A Heartfelt Talk About Eating Disorders and Recovery

This week on Tidewater Talk, Brodie and Co. sit down with Anmarie Reed, LCSW, Clinical Director at Prosperity Eating Disorder and Wellness Center in Norfolk, for a compassionate conversation about eating disorders, recovery, and the resources available here in Hampton Roads.Anmarie helps explain how common eating disorders are, why they are not about vanity, how they can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, and OCD, and why early support matters. The conversation also covers ARFID, orthorexia, diet culture, treatment options, insurance challenges, and how families can recognize when someone may need help. Plus, we check the Tidewater weather, talk summer storms, and share local tips, including Pink Dinghy, the Norfolk Taco Festival, Spudfest, and more.
