The Things We Do to Stay Alive

This space is dedicated to recovery and to finding your inner voice in a world of chaos, comparison, and instant gratification.

Do you feel...

• Exhausted by thoughts of food, weight, and your body?

• Trapped in a cycle of bingeing, purging, restricting or obsessively exercising?

• Like you can't cope without using food, alcohol, or substances?

• Overwhelmed by anxiety, cravings, or emotional volatility?

• Stuck in a loop of trying everything, and still feeling like there's no way out?

I can help.

I'm Christina Santini, Clinical Nutritionist with 15+ years of experience in eating disorder recovery and addiction treatment. I’ve worked at private hospitals and rehabilitation centers in both Europe and the U.S., helping clients transform their relationship with food, body, and self. Every eating disorder is unique and recovery must be individualized.

I work with:

• Anorexia

• Bulimia

• Binge Eating Disorder

• Orthorexia

• Bigorexia

• Substance abuse

• Alcohol dependency

My approach integrates:

• Customized nutrition therapy

• Biochemistry balancing + lab testing

• Metabolic restoration (digestion, hormones, appetite)

• Mindfulness-Based Eating + Intuitive Eating

• Meal exposure (including restaurant outings)

• Tools to decode body-mind-soul hunger

• Skills for emotional regulation + thought awareness (ANTS)

• Group therapy on body image, identity, authenticity, relationships

• Collaboration with your full treatment team

We start by stabilizing blood sugar, restoring structure around meals, and reducing the chaos that keeps you in survival mode. This phase - called mechanical eating -helps reduce cravings and decision fatigue. Once your body is balanced, we gradually shift toward intuitive eating: learning to respond to what your body actually wants and needs.

Why Intuitive Eating?

Because lasting recovery doesn't come from more willpower.

It comes from healing your nervous system, rebalancing your chemistry, and learning to trust your body again.

The goal isn't perfection. It's freedom:

To eat with presence. To listen to your hunger. To reclaim your body as a safe place.

If you're caught between extremes - control and chaos, obsession and numbness - you're not broken. You're adapting. But you don't have to stay there.

Extreme self-control is often a total loss of control in disguise.

You are not weak. And you're not alone.

Trying to survive in a society that is sick often makes us sick. Healing is not about forcing yourself into "normal." It's about becoming you again.

If you're tired of hating your body, of being afraid of food, of living in all-or-nothing mode - let's talk.

You can start small. Sign up for my newsletter and get weekly steps to reconnect body, mind and soul.

Or, if you're ready to go deeper, book a video consultation with me. We'll decode what your self-destructive behaviors are trying to communicate, and begin to build a new relationship with nourishment, emotion, and embodiment.

This is your exit.

This is your moment.

What is your soul truly hungry for?

With love,
