Disordered Eating Podcast
Each week we explore the deeper meaning of our relationship with food and our body. I interview experts in the field of eating disorders and psychoanalysis to bring you the answers about why you do the things you do and bring you one step closer to a healthier relationship with food and yourself.
Social Media and Eating Disorders with Lily Thrope, LCSW
Whether you are active on social media or not, it’s probably had an impact on your life in one way or another. Let’s be honest—most of us have a love-hate relationship with it, and it’s the same story when it comes to how it impacts our relationship with food and body image. But, hey, why delete Instagram when you can just add more stress to your life, right?
Caring Less About What Others Think
We’re talking about the age-old dilemma: caring way too much about what others think. And guess what? It’s not about magically not caring—because, spoiler alert, that’s just not human. Instead, we’re going to explore how to care in a way that doesn’t consume you and helps you navigate those tricky situations without becoming a people-pleasing puddle or a self-doubting wreck.
The Beauty Ideal with Nechami Tennenbaum, MBA
When we talk about eating disorders, the conversation often revolves around body image – from the harmful effects of body shaming to the empowering message of body positivity. But there's another aspect of this conversation that often goes overlooked: beauty ideals.
Ozempic, Wegovy, & Mounjaro with Laura Cipullo
There’s a sea of misinformation out there because medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have become so popular. But the real question is why? These aren’t necessarily brand-new medications but lately, we’ve seen them “prescribed” right and left and it leaves us wondering if it’s something we should consider.
The Comparison Trap and Eating Disorders
But here’s the thing: they are two completely different lifestyles. Both people are in different phases of their lives with perhaps significant differences in resources and personalities (and lots of other things) and are not in a place to compare one another. This is the comparison trap that oftentimes it has an unintended impact on one’s relationship with food and self-esteem.
Why Have Eating Disorders Become so Glamorous? with Robyn Goldberg, RDN, CEDRD-S
Unlike any other disorder in the DSM (diagnostic bible for mental illness), eating disorders have become glamorous and even enviable. “OMG how do you eat so little?” and “You’re so good. You work out at the gym all the time.” Robyn and I talk about how in the world this happened and what to do about it. Robyn also shares some possible impacts of restriction on the body.
