Ever heard of orthorexia nervosa? It’s a term you might not be familiar with, but it’s something that could be affecting more people than we realize. In this episode of 'The Recovery Myth Archives', Katie Horwitch dives into the world of orthorexia—a condition where an obsession with healthy eating spirals into a dangerous eating disorder. Coined in 1997 by a doctor who suffered from it himself, orthorexia is a paradoxical twist on nutrition that’s often misunderstood and under-researched.
Katie doesn’t just stop at explaining what orthorexia is; she shares her personal journey of grappling with this condition and what ultimately helped her when she’d had enough. With raw honesty and practical advice, Katie sheds light on how the pursuit of health can sometimes lead us down a harmful path. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the fine line between healthy eating and obsession, and it offers hope and strategies for those who might be struggling.
Whether you’re dealing with orthorexia yourself, know someone who is, or just want to understand more about this lesser-known eating disorder, this episode provides valuable insights and support.
