🍓“Recovering from an Eating Disorder? These Nutrient-Rich Sips Rebuild Your Strength from the Inside Out”

If food feels like the enemy—but your body is begging for healing—this is your safe space. Let’s rebuild without fear, pressure, or overwhelm… just gentle nourishment that supports your mind, gut, and soul—one sip at a time.

😫 The Problem: Nutrient Deficiencies and Deep Body Weakness

People recovering from anorexia, bulimia, or binge-purge cycles often struggle with:

• ⚡ Constant fatigue and muscle weakness

• 🤕 Headaches, dizziness, and fainting spells

• 💅 Brittle hair, nails, and skin problems

• 🧠 Anxiety, brain fog, and low mood

• 🤢 Gut distress, including nausea or fear of digestion

These symptoms stem from severe micronutrient depletion and compromised digestive health. When the body is running on empty, it needs rebuilding—not restriction.

🥣 The Solution: Liquid Nutrition + Key Replenishing Minerals

1. 🥤 Liquid Nutrition: Smoothies & Bone Broth That Don’t Overwhelm the Gut

When chewing feels like a chore or eating solid food triggers anxiety, liquids provide a safe and soothing entry point back to nourishment.

🧡 Rebuilding Smoothie Recipe:

Gentle, nutrient-rich, and easy to digest

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk

• 1 frozen banana (calming potassium boost)

• 1 tbsp almond butter (healthy fats & magnesium)

• 1 scoop clean plant-based protein powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon (blood sugar stabilizer)

• Optional: 1 tsp flaxseed (gut-friendly omega-3s)

🧠 Why it works: Smoothies pack essential macros and micronutrients without overwhelming digestion, and they help stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings.

🍲 Bone Broth Elixir for Inner Repair

2. 🧪 Zinc & Magnesium: Rebuild Your Nervous System and Digestive Fire

You're not broken. You're rebuilding.
