EP197: Orthorexia Awareness: Understanding the Extremes of "Healthy" Eating


Listen Later

In this episode, Sam and Jenna dive into the complexities of orthorexia, dispelling common misconceptions and discussing the often blurred line between health-promoting behaviors and disordered eating. This conversation offers a nuanced exploration of orthorexia nervosa and counters claims that it's not an actual disorder. Jenna and Sam break down the ways an extreme focus on healthy eating can impact various aspects of life and offer examples of how certain behaviors can be either disordered or health-promoting based on intention. Please keep in mind that this discussion is not intended to diagnose anyone, and if you do find any of this resonating with your own life, we encourage you to seek out appropriate professional support.
