Disordered Eating vs. Eating Disorders, My Story & Why It's Not About The Food

Are you preoccupied with your weight, diet and exercise but aren’t sure if what you are experiencing is an “eating disorder”? Time buckle up because this episode gets deep.  This week, Emily discusses Disordered Eating; a term used to describe a set of abnormal behaviours associated with food and body image that do not warrant the diagnosis of an eating disorder. Whether you are preoccupied with your food intake, calorie counting, ingredient lists and fad diets or fixated on exercising and fear gaining or losing weight, this is an episode where your voice will be heard.  Through her own personal experiences, Emily shares her unique story of struggling with disordered eating and ways in which you can improve your relationship with food based on real scientific evidence and research. This is not the typical episode that involves telling you how to eat intuitively, but instead provides a different perspective that only listeners will discover...   *Disclaimer: this episode discusses topics related to eating disorders and mental health conditions and is based on research and is not medical advice.
