Outweigh

In this final episode of the Outweigh Q&A series, we’re diving into a listener question about Orthorexia. While pretty much everyone knows what an Eating Disorder is, most have never even heard of this thing called Disordered Eating. An even lesser known (and talked about) form of Disordered Eating is something called Orthorexia.

Orthorexia is when someone takes their health to an extreme, and they inhabit an excessive preoccupation or obsession with eating healthy food. According to The National Eating Disorders Association Orthorexia entails: Obsessive focus on food choices, food regarded primarily as source of health rather than pleasure; distress or disgust when in proximity to prohibited foods; periodic shifts in dietary beliefs; moral judgment of others based on their dietary choices; body image distortion; persistent belief that dietary practices are health-promoting despite evidence of experiencing malnutrition...and the list goes on, and on, and on.

And because of all of the misinformation that's being thrown at us, Orthorexia is spreading like a wildfire -- ESPECIALLY in the female population. The EFFECT of all of this? An extremely DISORDERED relationship with food. And if you're like most women out there, you've been exposed to the 'Dark Side' of the health industry for a very long time, and it's super important that you know what to look out for to make sure that YOUR health journey....stays....healthy!

Listen in to an interview with Leanne and Laura Lea Bryant where they unpack this super-important topic (and Laura Lea shares her personal experiences....and her experience as an influencer in the health and wellness world).

Can you be happy and satisfied and feel like you've 'arrived'....AND still desire to do more, be more, have more, create more (and be absolutely unapologetic about it!)?  We absolutely think so! And that's why we are here to talk about this very important distinction.  These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind--- especially since there are a lot of mixed messages out there about this topic.  

Amy & Leanne are back again for the EIGHTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH:   You can be happy and satisfied and feel like you've 'arrived'....AND still desire to do more, be more, have more, create more (and be absolutely unapologetic about it!)

Yep....it's true! Even the most confident, self-assured, empowered women can revisit old thought patterns.. This does NOT have to mean anything, it does NOT mean that you have backslid or regressed, and in fact, it's totally normal. What matters most is how you RESPOND (instead of react) to those thoughts. And that's why on this episode of Outweigh, we share some very important distinctions that you'll want to keep in mind around this subject specifically. 

Amy & Leanne are back again for the SEVENTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: You can be revisit an old pattern, habit, or circumstance ...AND still be 'evolving' or growing past it (AKA experiencing something that you thought was “part of your past“ does not mean that you HAVE regressed or ARE regressed)

Yes.... you heard that correctly. Your life can be amazing, you can be living in gratitude, experiencing joy...AND you can also be coincidingly be going through some sort of mental, emotional, or spiritual [breakdown/breakthrough/existential crisis].

These things do NOT have to cancel eachother out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind to make sure that you are leading yourself in the direction of health, freedom, and healing while you navigate this wide array of emotions.. 

Amy & Leanne are back for the SIXTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: a happy life AND emotional challenges.

Amy and Leanne are back again sharing Two Things that can ABSOLUTELY be true at the same time: You can be self-endorsed and uber-confident.... AND still care what other people think of you (or fear judgment).

These things do NOT have to cancel each other out or stay mutually exclusive. But...there are some very important distinctions that you want to keep in mind--- especially since there are a lot of messages out there telling you that you "shouldn't" care what other people think about you.

Here at Outweigh, we love to give a different perspective, and that's why Amy & Leanne came together for the FIFTH episode of the Mini-Series Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (Normalizing the In-Betweens and Healing From Extremism) where they share their thoughts and takeaways on how you can have BOTH: You can be self-endorsed and uber-confident.... AND still care what other people think of you (or fear judgment).
