313: Orthorexia, An Eating Disorder on the Rise and In Disguise with Kelsey Pukala RD/N

It’s been awhile since we’ve had an episode dedicated to orthorexia, an eating disorder where one is fixated on being healthy. In today’s episode I brought on one of the incredible dietitians at NMN, Kelsey Pukala, to help you understand this eating disorder and why it’s on the rise and in disguise.

In this episode we discuss:

What is orthorexia and what are the signs and symptoms. Spectrum of intuitive eating to eating disorders, where disordered eating and orthorexia falls on the spectrum. Why orthorexia is such a problem these days, Kelsey and Victoria talk through the reasons this disorder is on the rise. How health care professionals are part of solving the problem and ways you can shift your language about food when talking to patients. Kelsey’s recommendation if you may have orthorexia for next steps. How Kelsey is currently practicing wellness without obsession.
