3. Jessica's story overcoming disordered eating

In this episode, Jessica opens up about her experience with disordered eating. During high school, Jessica jumped on Google to find some answers about how to lose weight and be healthier. This led Jessica down a well-intended path of eating less and moving more. However, somewhere along the way, things became toxic. Jessica describes how disordered eating behaviours started taking over her body and mind. The girl that started on a simple quest to lose weight and be healthy was not the same girl that came out the other side. Interestingly, Jessica had always wanted to become a dietitian, despite her own challenges with food and weight. Now, Jessica is a practising dietitian who helps individuals all over Australia improve their relationship with food, find their healthy weight, and eat in a way that supports any chronic health conditions they may have. In this episode, Jessica provides interesting insights into what it’s like to navigate your relationship with food while suffering from other overlapping chronic health conditions.
