How to know when it’s for health and enjoyment, vs when it’s a disorder? 
I’m stoked to welcome back Marek, a returning guest who joined us last year to talk about his journey out of an eating disorder.

Earlier this year we were chatting and he mentioned he’d gotten into distance running, post recovery - and I had questions! Because if you’ve ever experienced any kind of eating disorder, or disordered eating, sometimes it’s hard to know where you stop and the disorder begins.

For years, I’ve defended Intuitive Eating and the Anti-Diet movement. But I’m stepping back. The core ideas of IE? Solid. The execution and culture... often leaves a lot to be desired. Nutrition shouldn’t be about picking sides, choosing your team, and fitting yourself into a predetermined system. It should be practical, flexible, and built around your needs and values. 

Let’s talk about what actually helps.!
