TW: Eating Disorders
I AM NOT A CLINICIAN OR PHYSICIAN
All claims are my own from personal experiences.
Orthorexia, though there is no clinical diagnostic material, shares the same traits as anorexia. The current obsession with "healthful" food and wellness practices is on the rise, and while to most it seems not harmful and even necessary, taking health to an obsessive level comes with certain negative impacts.
On this episode I share my personal story with orthorexia, things I've seen in my clients, and steps I'm taking and recommend for people dealing with the same struggles.
