The Connection Between Dieting and Eating Disorders - My Story


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I dive into some scientific research from The Minnesota Starvation Experiment to gain an understanding of how dieting and restrictive eating habits can lead to the development of eating disorders. Specifically, I relate this back to my story as my past ED developed from one “innocent” diet at the time.


I dive into...

- How restriction affects the brain and neurological pathways

- How dieting affects our psychological and physiological well-being

- Thoughts and behaviors that may come up when dieting

- How dieting alters our relationship with food and our body

- Physical manifestations and side effects of restrictive eating

- A much more in-depth look at my story and history with an ED
