Manage episode 351440588 series 3288541
In this truly informative and captivating episode, Tori sits down with Marika Day - Accredited Practicing Dietitian & Nutritionist - to address the orthorexic culture in our youth. If you've ever felt like your desire for 'clean eating' and exercise has gone from a healthy habit to downright obsessive, listen in. This episode may be triggering for those who have experienced eating disorders - Marika and Tori discuss how orthorexia can negatively impact almost every aspect of your life.
They touch on how made up food intolerances often mask restrictive or disordered eating patterns, health repercussions like hair loss, recurrent illness, extreme fatigue and a loss of menstrual cycles. Marika's approach to wellness is one that is both science backed and gentle. She encourages setting realistic goals, and to never trust health advice on instagram given by unqualified influencers who likely have genetics or smoke and mirrors to thank for the very image you're buying into!
