Website
This website is our mother ship, our warehouse of useful information for the general public. It is designed to help someone who may be struggling or worried about their loved one at the onset and earliest stage of Anorexia Nervosa (AN). Hopefully, they will not waste valuable time making sense of hodge podge information out there and trying to connect them to what they are experiencing at home. Because with Anorexia Nervosa, time (how early one realizes and how fast one acts to step 1 of recovery, that is weight restoration) is one of the most important factors that contributes towards full, unharmed recovery. The information presented here is a culmination of scientific research papers and people testimonies. They highlight successful recovery stories and the insightful perspective of identifying and helping anorexics that had helped the Founder in helping her daughter to full recovery.
To reach out to the general public who may not be familiar with the medical term Eating Disorders, this website uses the commonly known word Anorexics to describe the person suffering from Anorexia Nervosa 'AN' (also used synonymously with Anorexia), which is considered one type of Eating Disorders in the current medical term.
Genetics loads the gun. Weight loss pulls the trigger. What follows is the biological consequence of an adaptive mechanism called the Adapted to Flee Famine Response. This involuntary response lasting too long becomes what is known today as the debilitating illness called Anorexia Nervosa (AN).
Step 1 to recovery is weight restoration. Only then the psychological effects from starvation could diminish and the true character of the person could be restored. While it is worthwhile to address any problems or psychological issues one may be experiencing, it is vital to have the clarity of the illness: psychological issues do not cause nor cure AN.
The term anorexics simply refer to people born with genetic predisposition to a biological illness, but that doesn’t mean they have to suffer from it. AN is a prolonged condition of an adaptive mechanism that can remain harmless with proper weight restoration. Understanding this knowledge is key to lifetime empowerment!

Message
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a condition a person is genetically predisposed to have. It is triggered by weight loss which, in turn, can be initiated by a variety of factors.
​
It is neither a lifestyle choice nor a condition that can be afflicted by the individual, family or society. Scientific research has proven that AN has genetic and biological components. This understanding is essential for two main reasons:
​
It can remove the misplaced guilt often experienced by people suffering from AN as well as their families, who often feel that they have done something wrong.
​
It encourages Early Intervention. This often makes the difference between full recovery and a possible death.
​
The AN process is well understood: while most people can afford to diet and lose weight throughout their lives, individuals predisposed with AN need to realize that weight loss may result in an out-of-control psychobiological spiral,leading to even further weight loss.
​
The possible implications of this weight loss should be realized and accepted by sufferers, family and friends who should also celebrate the high achieving personality traits and sensitive nature often associated with those predisposed to AN.
