There’s likely no other time of the year you’ll come across as many people employing healthy habits than the start of a New Year. While I’m all for fresh starts, new beginnings and doing things to help you feel your best, fixating and obsessing about health can quickly lead you down a path of unhealthy habits. In some cases, as is often the case with nutritionists, health practitioners and health bloggers, we might see conditions like Orthorexia arise, which comes with a number of severe implications.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Extremist behaviours around health and why they’re actually hurting us
  • The link between Orthorexia and nutrition school
  • Disordered eating disguised as health habits
  • Characteristics of orthorexia
  • The importance of flexibility when engaging in health habits 
  • Harm of self-diagnosing health conditions 
  • Releasing perfectionist ways around food
  • How to pursue health without obsessing about it 
  • Support and resources for those struggling with Orthorexia
