  • S3 E2 Midlife, Menopause & Eating Disorders with Dr Lauren Bruce from Eating Disorders Victoria

    S3 E2 Midlife, Menopause & Eating Disorders with Dr Lauren Bruce from Eating Disorders Victoria
    Sep 15 2026

    "...it does come back to awareness and acknowledging that eating disorders are experienced by all people..."


    Did you know that the prevalence of eating disorders increases at 45-years old? Many think that eating disorders are only experienced by younger people. Eating disorders don't discriminate though and can emerge or reemerge at any life stage, particularly when women reach midlife and being experiencing perimenopause and menopause.


    In this episode Dr Lauren Bruce, Manager of Education and Research at Eating Disorders Victoria, explains the reasons why eating disorders are so common in the midlife, the unique risk factors that women face and what the warning signs are.


    Join us for this episode and the rest of the season as we explore eating disorders during perimenopause, menopause and the midlife and continue the conversation with Butterfly Foundation, Eating Disorders Victoria, those with lived experience and more.

  • S3 E1 Understanding Eating Disorders with Sarah Cox from Butterfly Foundation

    S3 E1 Understanding Eating Disorders with Sarah Cox from Butterfly Foundation
    Sep 8 2026

    "... a lot of people do sometimes think that it's mainly around food or weight but there's so much more going on under the surface..."


    Experienced by more than 1.1 million Australian's, eating disorders are not uncommon, but still they remain misunderstood and are not spoken about enough. In this episode we start the conversation with Sarah Cox, Clinical Psychologist and the Manager of the Butterfly National Helpline.


    Sarah explains what exactly eating disorders are and who experiences them, how someone can seek a diagnosis and support, as well as the impacts of eating disorders on a person's physical, mental and social health.


    Join us for this episode and the rest of the season as we explore eating disorders during perimenopause, menopause and the midlife and continue the conversation with Butterfly Foundation, Eating Disorders Victoria, those with lived experience and more.
