In this episode, I sit down with Moriah Martin, RD to talk about her journey to becoming a dietitian and why she chose to specialize in eating disorders. We dive into the different types of eating disorders, the importance of having a supportive care team, and how the language we use around food and nutrition really matters. Moriah and I also open up about our own experiences with disordered eating and discuss the deeper, root causes that often go unaddressed.

We get into the complexities of body image, binge eating, and both the psychological and physiological factors that play a role in these struggles. We talk about how social media shapes our self-perception, the dangers of orthorexia, and why balanced nutrition—not perfection—is key. Most importantly, we highlight the power of mindfulness, self-compassion, and building resilience in the recovery process.

Heads up: We discuss eating disorders in this episode! All advice shared is not formal medical advice so please use resources below if you or a loved one is seeking professional assistance with an ED.
