Struggles with Disordered Eating

Bob, a 52-year-old fitness industry veteran, recognized that his relationship with food was troubled, particularly manifesting as disordered eating patterns. His primary challenge was consistent under-eating, which impacted his quality of life, sleep, and performance. Previously reliant on rigid meal plans, he discovered that such approaches did not address the underlying emotional and mental obstacles preventing a healthier relationship with food.
