Episode 196: Show Yourself Some Grace, with Alexis Smith

In this episode of Oh, My Health… There is HOPE! Jana talks with Alexis (Lexie) Smith. After battling perfectionism and clinical depression, Alexis was diagnosed with an eating disorder at the age of 15. She spent 6 days in Primary Children’s hospital, 4 months with a feeding tube, and months of recovery with a specialized therapist, dietitian, and pediatrician. Lexie has since recovered from anorexia/orthorexia and is a podcast host, motivational speaker, therapist in training, and advocate for overall mental health.
