Going far deeper than traditional recovery resources, this gender-inclusive guide explores nervous system regulation and hormonal healing through the lens of polyvagal theory. From managing digestive issues to weathering emotional storms, Livia helps you trust your body's process and make peace with food and exercise.

Critic reviews

"In How to Beat Extreme Hunger, Livia Sara delivers a refreshing take on overcoming the challenges of extreme hunger with a blend of humor, raw honesty, and genuine understanding. From the very first page, Livia's voice feels like that of a trusted friend who not only acknowledges your struggles but dives deep into the heart of them.

This book is a revelation – a beacon of truth in a sea of misconceptions. Livia fearlessly drops 'truth bombs' that illuminate the hidden aspects of our relationship with food and our bodies. Through her relatable candid storytelling, she unveils the seemingly 'harmless' behaviors that can stop us from overcoming extreme hunger.

...What sets How to Beat Extreme Hunger apart is Livia's willingness to address topics that most professionals overlook but should know. That's why this book is the key to recovery. Rooted deeply in authenticity, Livia's words serve as a lifeline for those lost in their struggles, resonating deeply with the soul. As you read, you feel deeply heard and understood.

As a food freedom and body love coach, I wholeheartedly believe that How to Beat Extreme Hunger is a game-changer for anyone seeking liberation from the grip of extreme hunger. I'll definitely be sending each of my clients a copy! If you're ready to embark on a journey that promises more than overcoming extreme hunger, your search ends here. This book is your guidebook to reclaiming your life and embracing true nourishment, inside and out.

Liv, you’re a freaking genius and a positive light in this world!" – Victoria Kleinsman, Food Freedom & Body Love Coach

"How to Beat Extreme Hunger is an engaging and comprehensive deep dive into understanding a very normal but often misunderstood part of the recovery process. Livia explores this phenomenon from multiple perspectives, helpfully dissecting different types of hunger, the nervous system, hormones, restriction, and much more. Livia is an engaging writer, delving thoroughly into the science of the extreme hunger experience whilst also drawing from her personal journey with deep authenticity and vulnerability. I highly recommend this book to anyone navigating eating disorder recovery!" – Harriet Frew, The Eating Disorder Therapist

"Liv takes the confusing and often frightening concept of 'extreme hunger' and makes it relatable, logical, and easier to understand. Anyone dealing with extreme hunger from restrictive eating disorders will likely benefit from the way Liv breaks down the what, how, and why of their seemingly out-of-control hunger patterns. With insights ranging from the cognitive, emotional, physical, physiological, and somatic (nervous system), this book is an empathetic and practical guide for getting through this messy part of recovery." – Stefanie Michele, Binge Eating and Body Image Coach]

As a licensed therapist who has provided support and studied disordered eating concerns for a decade, this book is one I will recommend to my clients struggling to understand the variety of physiological and emotional challenges each individual can experience. This book highlights so much of the valid reality of eating disorder experiences that aren’t able to be captured in a single diagnostic definition. Liv has captured the essence of what our current generations have learned about the relationship between nourishment and our experiences inside our bodies. For all on the journey that haven’t found that resource that “fits” their experience yet, I recommend turning to Liv’s resources and specifically “How to beat extreme hunger”.

This book is such a information powerhouse! As the parent of someone going through the challenges of an ed, as well as navigating the differences that come with being on the spectrum, this book helped me get more of an inside view of my child and discover better ways to be supportive through their recovery. I also ended up buying the physical copy of this book so I could underline key points to remember along the way and have it handy as an easy reference. I really can't recommend this book enough to those who want a deeper understanding of either themselves or someone they care for. Thank you so much for your dedication to putting this kind of healing on the map Livia!

Between rehab, therapy, medication, counselling, dietitians, various diets, studies in to addiction, and so so much grief, despair and self hatred...Finding Livia has brought me understanding! And with understanding comes the grace I have been seeking for my entire existence.
