Episode 66: The Intersection of Nutrition, Addiction, Mental Health and Eating Disorders w/ Dr. David Wiss
What if we told you that our relationship with food is far more complex than it seems, that it is intricately tied to our mental wellbeing and can require a drastically different approach from one person to the next?
On board with us is the experienced Dietician, Dr. David Wiss, who shares his unconventional journey to discovering the impact of nutrition on mental health, the need for nuanced discussion in the anti-diet & eating disorder recovery world, and how you can tackle the complex conversation of healing your relationship with food while also caring for both your physical and mental health.
In this episode , we cover:
- The damaging effects of diet culture on those with eating disorders
- The need to challenge the black-and-white approach to eating disorder recovery
- Why mental health considerations, such as addiction, are crucial to creating a thorough recovery approach
- The balance between discussing the importance of nutrition and avoiding triggers for unhealthy thoughts and behaviors
- Gentle nutrition – how to incorporate healthy food habits without falling back into deprivation and restrictions
- The challenging intersection of eating disorders, substance use disorder, and ultra-processed food addiction.
- The importance of a balanced, compassionate approach towards food.
