ARFID: it’s not just picky eating, with Stefanie Ginsburg and Rebecca Thomas

This week Cristina interviews the ARFID RD’s, Stefanie Ginsburg and Rebecca Thomas, all about Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. We clarify what exactly ARFID is, why you may not have ever heard of it, and the biggest misconceptions around the newest eating disorder on the block. We talk about why ARFID goes mislabeled and misdiagnosed for so long, the role that body image and weight play, and how it’s SO much more than extreme picky eating and not just for kids!
