242: When "Healthy" Isn't Healthy // My Experience With Orthorexia


Listen Later

I used to follow every clean-eating rule I could find. From the outside, it looked like I had it all together. But on the inside? I was completely consumed by food.

In this episode, I'm opening up about my experience with orthorexia - the obsession with eating "right" that completely took over my life.

If you've ever felt anxious about food, struggled to eat without guilt, or wondered if your healthy habits might have gone too far, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

  • What orthorexia really is and how it hides under the label of "clean eating"
  • The sneaky ways restriction and food fear can show up in your life
  • My personal stories of control, anxiety, and the physical toll of under-fueling
  • Why bingeing isn't a failure - it's your body's cry for nourishment
  • The signs that your "healthy" habits have crossed the line into obsession
  • What healing from orthorexia actually looks like (and how freeing it can be)
