Dana and Cristina dig into the question: how do we figure out if something that is inherently restrictive might be appropriate for this season of your life? Can you manage chronic health conditions without food restriction? What are other ways we can go about managing our symptoms? If we do have a medical reason for evaluating the place a food has in our diet – how do we do that without triggering a restrict-binge spiral? How do we navigate this without allowing the stress of eliminating a food to exacerbate our current symptoms? {Yes – we know it’s very complicated, and extremely nuanced!}
