Join me in this 2 part series with Hannah Saffold, RDN, LD. Hannah and I co-host this episode on the battles dietitians are facing daily with disordered eating/eating disorders. Hannah is an experienced dietitian with a mission to promote healthier relationships with food among dietitians and dietitians-to-be. Together, we share our personal experiences with  disordered eating and lift the lid on some shocking industry statistics.

The conversation takes a deep turn when we explore the 'wounded healer' archetype, a phenomenon that's surprisingly common in the dietetics, fitness, health, and therapeutic fields. The discussion unveils the often unspoken judgment and shame experienced by nutrition students and dietitians wrestling with their own disordered eating. 

If you are grappling with disordered eating, or suspect that you might have an eating disorder, you're not alone. We're here to support you, to stand by you, and to help you navigate this journey. Tune in as we unravel the complexities of being in this industry.

Join us in part 2 as we talk about the nuances of intuitive eating as well as the concerns we have around some of the new(ish) culture shifts around the intuitive eating space.
