We're diving into a tricky topic today: orthorexia. While it’s not officially classified as an eating disorder, it shares a lot of similarities and is a form of disordered eating. What most people don’t understand is that perimenopause is a particularly vulnerable window for developing it.
For this reason, I'm honored to have Dr. Morgan Francis with us—she's an eating disorder therapist and she's here to help us wrap our brains around a definition of orthorexia. You’ll discover how to protect yourself from the traps set for us in midlife by diet and wellness culture. We’ll also dive into how to release all-or-nothing thinking and save room on our plates for carbs!
