In episode 72 of the Macabolic Podcast Janina ’@Naturally_Nina’ Gelbke reflects on her nutrition journey through severe disordered eating, and an obsessive ‘all or nothing’ approach to food, that negatively impacted her life throughout her childhood and teenage years. Nina is an accredited nutritionist, and nutrition influencer specialising in vegan nutrition guidance and disordered eating. She’s also the GOAT of aesthetically pleasing ‘Insta recipes’. We discuss how Nina now views food, what she now seeks to obtain from her diet, and what lessons she wishes to pass onto others in order for them to avoid the ‘nutrition whirlwind’ she previously endured. We touch on the pitfalls of an ‘all or nothing’ approach to both nutrition and being a vegan. As well as how a ‘numbers obsession’ can turn your diet from ‘health-seeking’, to ‘health-impairing’.
