Back to basics with food after an eating disorder with Dietitian Shane Jeffery, using the five step RAVES model for a positive food relationship
Have you ever thought how complicated eating is these days? We live in a world where we’re bombarded with diet culture content and body image ideals – where food is staged with lights and filters and thousands of pretty, perfect plates are just a phone swipe away.
In this episode our guest, Accredited Practicing Dietitian Shane Jeffrey from River Oak Health, wants us to pare it all back saying a positive, intuitive relationship with food is within reach for us all, particularly those with eating disorders. Shane's tips on how to start eating again after an eating disorder come down to an easy five step acronym: RAVES.
He’s spent the last few decades developing the internationally acclaimed RAVES model, which combines science with personal values to reset relationships with food.
RAVES stands for Regularity, Adequacy, Variety, Eating Socially and Spontaneity
If you are wondering about how to encourage eating again after a loved one has been diagnosed with an eating disorder or improving their relationship with food then listen to this episode!
Some of Shane’s RAVES tips include:
· eating like a 2 year old by bringing back intuitive eating
· stoking the energy campfire with regular meals by time not just appetite
· and agreeing there should be no good or bad or healthy or unhealthy food – there’s just food.

You can find a download of the RAVES model cheat sheet here on the Eating Disorders Families Australia website.

When there’s a diagnosis of an eating disorder in a family it often impacts more than just one person and the rest of the family, particularly siblings, can feel the wide reaching ripples of change, of worry and concern, of isolation and even anger.
It’s a whole other layer of suffering that comes with unique challenges, which is why Eating Disorders Families Australia runs separate support groups for siblings, allowing them to ask questions in a safe space with moderators who have lived experience.
But what can you do as a carer to support your other children or family members when a loved one is diagnosed? How can a sibling support a sister or brother diagnosed with an eating disorder?
Alisha Mah is one of EDFA’s counsellors, working in the Fill The Gap program that offers free online sessions for carers. She also has lived experience as both a sibling and a carer for a loved one with an eating disorder.
In this episode Alisha shares many helpful insights into the sibling challenges, about family routines and traditions, about birthdays and events, as well ways to speak to the family members who don’t understand.
If you would like to speak to Alisha or any of EDFA’s counsellors then head to EDFA's Fill The Gap counselling service - a one-on-one free online counselling service.

Meet Jenny Langley, an international Carer Coach and Trainer, helping families communicate better when a loved one is diagnosed with an eating disorder.
Jenny runs skills based training workshops in the New Maudsley Model, which was developed at London’s Maudsley Hospital by world leading clinical and academic psychiatrist in eating disorders, Professor Janet Treasure. The program teaches carers communications tools and techniques to engage with loved ones in ways that lower stress and anxiety for everyone in the family.
Jenny took part in the Maudsley Hospital’s initial pilot program after living through her own caring challenges with her son who ‘crashed into anorexia’ as a 12 year old.
The mother of 6 is now a trainer, workshop facilitator, experienced carer coach and author of the book Boys Get Anorexia Too. And you’ll be happy to know her son has also made a good recovery.
This podcast is an edited version of a webinar presented to EDFA members and includes a focus on Maudsley approach techniques when a loved one also has an autism diagnosis.
There’s something for everyone in this episode including communication tips, validation and soothing skills, the role of positive affirmations and the power of the pause.

If you want to know how to build your resilience when caring for a loved one with an eating disorder then this is the Strong Enough podcast episode for you.
Our guest Hugh van Cuylenburg is one of the hosts of Australia’s most beloved podcasts “The Imperfects” and he runs The Resilience Project a national program teaching practical wellbeing strategies to build mental health resilience in the community.
But Hugh has also walked in your shoes and has seen the challenges firsthand of caring for someone with an eating disorder, after his sister was diagnosed with anorexia as a teenager.
Hugh talks about resilience, empathy, mindfulness and … yes … even the importance of gratitude when you are a carer. He has plenty of tips and ideas to help people cope as a caregiver or in a caring role.
He is also encouraging families to join EDFA’s Sibling Support group. "It would’ve been incredible to have a group where I could talk to other siblings going through the same stuff, with the guidance of an expert. It would’ve been completely life changing," says Hugh.
Want more ways to improve resilience? Check out The Resilience Project’s Wellbeing Hub for more practical tips to boost resilience as a carer.

Your questions about eating disorders ANSWERED!
Eating Disorders Families Australia runs multiple online eating disorder support groups to support the carers of people diagnosed with eating disorders ranging from anorexia and bulimia to food avoidance disorder and avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, also known as ARFID.
EDFA's lived experience forum moderators asked support group members for their top questions and concerns and we have invited EDFA Psychologist Chris Fowler onto the Strong Enough podcast to answer those questions.
Chris is the Program Director at EDFA's Fill The Gap counselling service - a one-on-one free online counselling service for carers to seek support with a simple phone call - and he has more than a decade of experience to draw on in hospital and helpline settings.
In this episode Chris discusses member concerns around "saying the wrong thing", he offers his best advice on how to support people with eating disorders and explains why relapses shouldn't be seen as failures. He answers questions about self care, about the eating disorder recovery process and why support groups can be helpful for everyone in the family.

For more than 30 years Professor Tracey Wade has been at the forefront of eating disorder research, clinical practice and public policy. Currently the Director of the Flinders Institute for Mental Health and Wellbeing at Flinders University, Professor Wade has co-written three therapy books, published hundreds of papers and has just been awarded the 2023: Australian Association for Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy - Distinguished Career Award.
In this episode of Strong Enough - the podcast from Eating Disorders Families Australia - we focus on her work on the latest genetic links to eating disorders, delve into her research on the importance of media literacy as a way to combat the menace of social media and find out her insights into the perfectionism trait that can trigger disordered eating in many forms including bulimia, restrictive eating and anorexia nervosa.

What is refeeding? Should I put extra calories in meals? How do I stay calm at the dinner table? What is the magic plate theory?
Eva Musby, our guest on this episode of Strong Enough, tackles all these questions (and more) about the refeeding stage of eating disorder recovery. You might know Eva from her international best selling book or her popular workshops but Eva is actually not her real name! She uses a pseudonym so she can tell her story candidly, on the world stage, and share her daughter’s restrictive anorexia diagnosis.
In this episode of EDFA's podcast series we are particularly focussed on the topic of re-feeding (which Eva breaks down for us, if you’re new to the conversation.) She offers gentle and practical help as she talks us through her most successful tips and ideas about how to encourage and support your loved one using a family based approach.
It's important to note that this discussion is not a substitute for professional advice. Some tips might be relevant to your own situation and others might not. For more information about eating disorders including avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), binge eating, bulimia and anorexia PLUS Australian eating disorder support groups and resources for carers you can visit Eating Disorders Families Australia.

When a loved one is diagnosed with an eating disorder it can be difficult to know where to start. In this first episode of Strong Enough - a podcast from Eating Disorders Families Australia - Executive Director Jane Rowan talks us through EDFA's eating disorder diagnosis checklist, using her lived experience as a carer for a daughter diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
EDFA is a national organisation caring for the carers of people with eating disorders, providing online eating disorder carer support groups and eating disorder support forums, managed and moderated by people with lived experience. EDFA provides eating disorder help across all types of eating disorders including bulimia, anorexia, arfid, restrictive eating and binge eating disorders.
“We also have our private Facebook forum and that is a really great place for people to jump in and ask questions and just understand they are not doing this alone. Recovery is possible, particularly if you have some support around you” - Jane Rowan, Eating Disorders Families Australia Executive Director.
The Diagnosis To-Do checklist includes tips and advice on the first steps after a diagnosis, including people and organisations to notify from specialists and health funds to Medicare and schools. There is also a list of organisations that may be able to provide financial support and carer assistance.
