Today’s episode of Real Health Radio is all about disordered eating and eating disorders. Clients with issues around food make up a large part of my practice and they are something I’ve been helping women deal with for a number of years. As part of the show we look at the difference between an eating disorder versus disordered eating, why they happen (and it’s not always about managing someone’s weight), how they are passed on from generation to generation, as well as lots of ideas and suggestions to help someone think about their struggles differently and overcome their issues.

Welcome back to Real Health Radio. This week, I don’t just have one guest, I have three. It’s a panel discussion involving myself, Krista Scott-Dixon, Helen Kollias, and Alaina Hardie from Precision Nutrition and we’re sticking with one topic: genetic testing. We cover a lot of ground on this show.

We discuss the basics of DNA, genes, and the genome and what these are and why they’re important. We look at many of the of terms that come up once you get into the genetic testing world. So things SNPs, polymorphism, genotype, phenotype, epigenetics and others.

We cover risk, looking at absolute risk and relative risk and how this relates to the results of genetic testing.

We talk about what we currently do and don’t know. Truthfully, right now, what we do know is pretty limited. Despite the wild claims that are often made, at this stage most of these claims are hype or about what we expect could happen in the future, they aren’t a reality right now.

For this week’s instalment of Real Health Radio I’m interviewing Anne-Sophie Reinhardt. Anne-Sophie serves entrepreneurs, coaches and highly ambitious women who want OUT of their destructive relationship with food and their bodies by helping them to respect their body wholeheartedly. She is a certified Martha Beck Life Coach and Eating Psychology Coach, founder of the award-winning blog and podcast Escape Diet Prison, successful speaker and workshop leader with clients all over the world.

Welcome back to Real Health Radio. My guest today is Nicola Rinaldi. Nicola has a PhD in computational biology from MIT. After graduating she worked for a biotechnology company while pursuing her dreams of a family, which were thwarted by a diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea (no periods). Eighteen months of trying to conceive followed. She spent hours on research, using the knowledge gained to work on recovery. Concurrently, she tried the medical route to pregnancy, with multiple doctor visits, injections, and ultrasounds resulting only in failure. Ultimately, she was able to achieve a natural pregnancy. Since that time, Nicola has shared her knowledge of the path to recovery, helping hundreds of others achieve their dreams of womanhood and pregnancy.

On this week’s episode of Real Health Radio I explore the topic of what it means to be happy. I cover some of the misconceptions around “being happy” and how this idea can be better viewed. I then look at ways to cultivate more happiness or positive emotions (and experiences) in your life.
