I think a lot of it is rooted in our culture...when children grow up in families where parents are quite obsessed with their weight, exercise, and do fad dieting...
Imagine a world where your quest for healthy eating becomes a dangerous obsession. That’s the unsettling reality for many facing orthorexia. In this episode of 'Anatomy of Addiction', host Marilyn Spiller chats with Gail Hall, a licensed social worker and certified eating disorder specialist, to unpack this growing issue. Gail dives into how our society's fixation on diet and exercise can spiral into unhealthy territory, leading to compulsive behaviors that are anything but healthy.
She shares practical tips on fostering a body-positive environment at home and stresses the importance of training healthcare providers to spot the signs of eating disorders early. Gail's insights highlight the crucial role of a multidisciplinary approach in treating orthorexia, involving a team of experts to guide individuals toward recovery. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that sheds light on the fine line between healthy habits and harmful obsessions.
