In today’s episode of Rewired, we interview registered dietitian Sophie Corbett, founder of Mental Health Dietitians and specialist in eating disorder recovery. With a passion for debunking nutrition myths, challenging diet culture, and helping people build a positive relationship with food, Sophie shares her expertise on everything from fitness trackers to calorie counting.

Together, we explore the role of dieticians in recovery and unpack the science behind weight restoration, metabolism (can you break it?) and set point theory. We also discuss the impact of online misinformation, with Sophie offering practical tips for navigating food obsession and rigidity – and learning how to trust your body again.

Topics covered:

• The truth about “weight gain foods” 
• Reintroducing foods: why wanting them all the time is normal
• The fear of never-ending weight gain 
• Can you really “break” your metabolism? 
• Food restriction = life restriction: what matters in the long run
• Public health messaging and ED recovery 
• Calorie counting, fitness trackers, and micromanaging health
• Rewiring the brain and building new habits
• The link between restriction and non-food rigidity
• Spotting misinformation: influencers, podcasts, and wellness trends
