#9- Nutrition and Mental Health (with Maddy Shoemaker)

Building off of last week’s episode, Maddy joins me today to talk about her knowledge and experiences with Nutrition and Dietetics. She does an amazing job of outlining the relationship between nutrition and mental health and identifies the problematic behaviours and beliefs that we obtain in our society regarding food. We talk about the importance of this topic for individual and societal well-being, the difference between disordered eating habits and eating disorders, different definitions of eating disorders, including orthorexia, and normative drinking behaviours. I also share a personal story about negative coping mechanisms related to disordered eating habits. Trigger warning: eating disorders, behaviours of eating disorders, substance use, and self-harm are talked about in this episode.
