Are you tired of being “in recovery” but not fully free? Of trying to recover “perfectly” only to feel like a failure every time? Of believing the eating disorder is just something you’ll have to “manage” forever? In How to Get Out of Quasi Recovery, Livia Sara challenges the traditional recovery narrative and offers a radical new perspective: What if recovery itself is holding you back? Through profound insights and raw honesty, she reveals how the concept of “recovery” can keep you stuck in that frustrating middle ground between your eating disorder and true freedom.

Growing up unknowingly autistic, Livia spent the majority of her young life seeking worth and validation in external achievements. She excelled in her honors classes, competitive sports, and eventually, an eating disorder. Until the control she so desperately sought nearly killed her, Livia made the hardest decision anyone with an eating disorder can make: to trust and surrender to the recovery process.

In How to Beat Extreme Hunger, neurodivergent eating disorder recovery coach Livia Sara delves into the biological mechanisms behind extreme hunger, explaining why it happens and how to navigate it. Through a blend of science and lived experience, she tackles the fears that keep you stuck: uncontrollable weight gain, becoming "addicted" to food, developing binge eating disorder, and beyond.
