Strap in, friends. This episode has some hard-hitting topics, so you've been warned.

Maddie and Lakshmi urgently discuss Canada's alarming decision to allow Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for those with mental illness, including anorexia. They take a no-holds-barred look at the foolishness of conflating eating disorders with terminal illnesses, spotlighting a policy that tragically misunderstands anorexia's true nature. 

With a mix of raw personal stories and sharp professional insights, they shred the fabric of this policy, illuminating its ethical nightmares and the potential for devastating outcomes. This is a wake-up call, urging a drastic pivot from death-centric solutions to life-affirming recovery strategies. 

It's a hard-hitting conversation that demands action, champions hope, and celebrates the power of change.
