Ditching Disordered Eating with Dr. Maria-Christina Stewart

Jemma Haythorne Season 2 Episode 163

We all know how harmful eating disorders are, but the same attention isn’t given to disordered eating, despite it being far more prevalent. So, how do we know when our eating has become disordered and what can we do about it?

Dr. Maria-Christina Stewart is a Clinical Psychologist and Adjunct Clinical Instructor at Stanford University School of Medicine with a specialty in treating and preventing eating disorders (aka. the perfect person to speak on this subject!).

In this episode, we chat about:

  • Where society is going wrong with our definition of health
  • The red flags for when you’ve crossed the line from ‘health’ into disordered
  • How people-pleasing and perfectionism play a role in disordered eating and poor body image
  • Why undernourishing yourself messes with your brain (cue anxiousness and dysregulation!)
  • The role of compassion in treating disordered eating
  • How to separate your self-worth from external validation
  • The TWO major myths about bodies she’d love to debunk
