Just Eat Normally: Eating Disorder Recovery

In today's episode of the Just Eat Normally podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Anna Colton, a clinical psychologist specialising in eating disorders. We dove deep into the challenges teenagers face with body image and diet culture, especially in our social media-driven world. Dr. Colton emphasized the importance of fostering a healthy relationship with food from an early age, highlighting that conversations about nutrition should be open and supportive. We discussed the signs parents should look for that may indicate an eating disorder and the significance of understanding our own food legacies to break the cycle of unhealthy attitudes.

If you're a parent or simply interested in promoting a positive food culture, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in to learn how to navigate these complex issues and empower the next generation!
