Education
This episode provides some information on the signs/symptoms of eating disorders, without emphasis on the labels for the various disorders (i.e: orthoexia, anorexia, bulimia, ED-NOS). We spend a lot of time diving into some side effects of the full recovery process! Then we move into a review of the Minnesota Semi-Starvation Experiment, which provided great scientific insight into how bodies respond to under-nourishment- which is a prevalent concept in the diet-culture all around us. This episode concludes with some tips for those who are currently struggling with disordered eating and/or an eating disorder, that I found really helped me commit and see through my recovery. Stay tuned for the next episode which will be with a special guest Dr. Nicola Rinaldi and will dive into Hypothalamic Amenhorrea, how the hormonal profile looks, the long-term consequences and more (when your monthly cycle disappears due to stress & under-eating).
