61 Overcoming Eating Disorders and Finding Purpose with Lara Hannigan

Thinking That Matters with Elizabeth Mahusay

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Lara Hannigan, a seasoned expert in dentistry with over 20 years of experience. Lara shared her profound insights on the connection between dental health and overall well-being, emphasizing her belief that "tooth wealth equals better health." She discussed the systemic correlations between oral health and heart health, as well as the dangers of undetected dental infections.

Lara also opened up about her personal journey of recovery from an eating disorder, a battle she has been fighting for 20 years. She spoke candidly about the thought processes that fueled her disorder, such as feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, and the pivotal moment when she recognized her inability to overcome it alone and the courageous decision to seek help, leading her on a path to recovery.

Lara's story serves as a reminder that recovery is a process that requires vulnerability, courage, and a willingness to seek help. It is a journey that may be fraught with challenges and setbacks, but with the right support system in place, it is possible to overcome even the most daunting obstacles.

Through her study of the Bible, time as an entrepreneur, and the accountability of some great mentors Elizabeth, is a transformed woman. Today, she passionately invests her time helping others transform their thinking.
