In this episode I sit down with Christy Maloney, Registered Dietician and Eating Disorder Specialist.  A former banker, Christy got her start in the nutrition industry as a second career.  She holds a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition and various certifications in nutrition, personal training, and eating disorder treatment.

In this episode, we get to the nitty gritty of:

- how nutrition advice has evolved over time to be less shaming and more neutral - the role that trauma plays in determining our eating habits - what's really behind binge eating disorder - is obesity really genetic? - why do some people tend not to eat when they are stressed? - what is body dysmorphia and how can we have a more realistic view of our bodies? - what is intuitive eating and why diets don't work

BONUS!  We answer some burning questions from the audience.  Hear Christy and I give our top notch clinical advices on: - ways to set boundaries with loved ones around their comments on your choices of food and drink (especially if you're in recovery from an eating disorder) - how to approach a partner who has expressed that they are not attracted to you anymore because you gained weight - how to be less of a picky eater and normalize eating the same things over and over - how can I improve my stress so that I can keep weight on?
