We’ve all experienced picky eaters—whether through friends, our kids, or maybe even you yourself are a picky eater. But when does picky eating crossover to extreme pickiness that could put your health at risk? And is there anything we can do to improve that pickiness? In today’s episode, we’re talking with registered dietitian and eating disorder expert, Kate Sayre, about a lesser-known eating disorder called ARFID. What is it? What are the common signs and symptoms? And how can you actually help someone who has ARFID?
