Something I want to call out... Coaching is not failure.
It’s intentional parenting.
Needing support with your teen doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong.
It means you care deeply about getting it right.
Parenting adolescents is complex.
They’re changing.
You’re changing.
The world they’re growing up in is changing.
Seeking coaching isn’t a sign you’re losing control.
It’s a sign you’re choosing connection over confusion.
Strong parents ask questions.
Strong parents reflect.
Strong parents get support when the stakes feel high.
You don’t need to wait for things to fall apart.
Support is not failure.
It’s leadership in your family.

✨ If something feels tense, distant, or stuck — you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Your relationship with food is starting to feel exhausting...
Your thoughts about food are starting to take up the space where joy & hobbies once lived...
Exercise is not relaxing its a task...to earn...what you ate
You look "fine" on the outside & everyone is proud of how far you have come...but inside you feel overwhelmed.

You are in the middle space. The space where the eating disorder is not in cojntrol but you are working hard to keep it there. Recovery feels like it might be sailing away.

You don't have to wait until things are "bad enough" to get support. If you are ready for grounded, compassionate coaching, back to a calmer relationship with food. Reach out. Let's take the next step together www.drlonnagordon.com

Nearly 80% of individuals with an eating disorder go undiagnosed.
Not because they did not seek care - but because the signs are subtle and often missed in a busy clinic.
Weight alone is not the screen!
Labs often not abnormal!
As physicians, we are often the first and only, line of detection. Many of us were not taught what to look for.
Our patients' lives depend on early detection.
If you're ready to strengthen your recognition skills, let's build them - together

52 minutes... What can happen in 52 minutes?

A workout class
A lecture period in high school
A boring meeting at work
A vulnerable conversation
Clearing your in-baset at work

This week I want you to remember that 52 minutes is also interval that someone dies from an eating disorder.

Not from vanity
Not from "just wanting to be thin."

But from a serious illness that starts in the mind but has devastating effects on the body.

This week is Eating Disorder Awareness Week. Eating Disorders take a toll on the entire family. It is the only illness where we ask parents to do the hard work of administering the medication ... food... 6 times a day.

If you are a parent needing support in this process please reach out. I coach parents through this tender time so that you can show up every meal, every day grounded for your adolescent as they fight to recover.

February is a month dedicated to focusing on relationships. I had the opportunity to be a guest on The Price of Business Podcast earlier this month, where we discussed how improving relationships with adolescents starts from within. Hope you can give it a listen and share if you find it helpful. You can listen to the conversation here:

When parents feel understood, they can parent with intention.

When you understand yourself and your child beyond surface behavior relationships grow.

If you are ready to grow in a way that strengthens your family there are slots to create a Connected Parenting Map this weekend. I am also here when you're ready.

The result of working together?
Clarity> Confidence> Momentum

Parents begin to understand - "Why do we keep having the same fight?"
Parents begin to feel - "I can stop second-guessing every consequence"
Parents notice - " The whole home dynamic has shifted, improved conversations. Decreased conflict."

If you are craving more steadiness in your home, let's begin that shift together.

What is it like to work with me?

It is
> Grounded
> Insightful
> Effective

I bring calm to hard conversations and strategy to the places your family feels stuck.
The work is not reacting more or trying harder - it is instead learning to slow down enough to understand what is happening.

With understanding you can move forward with intention.
Your nervous system learns that emotional safely and progress can exist at the same time.

If you are ready for support that feels steady. I would love to connect
