The Eating Disorder Nutritionist

Disclaimer – In this episode, we discuss disordered eating, and mental health struggles.

In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, George speaks with Anne, a Registered Nutritional Therapist, lecturer, and supervisor. She has been practising for more than ten years and exclusively works in the field of disordered eating. Anne suffered with anorexia in her teens and now draws from her lived experience to blend her knowledge of nutrition with her CBT skills. She works with people all over Europe to help them achieve food freedom. She is also invested in helping other practitioners work with disordered eaters as she recognises that general nutritional advice can be extremely damaging to disordered eaters.

Listen to the episode to hear us discuss:

• What led Anne to specialize in eating disorders and why she chose this field.
• The dogmatic thinking within the nutrition industry and why it’s a problem.
• How to determine whether nutrition advice is something to follow or something to ignore.
• Devil’s advocate: I worry the nutrition industry is like any other money-driven system—if leaning into dogma and making people feel bad about themselves increases sales, then it’ll happen. Is there any point in us talking about it, if it probably won’t change the company’s minds?
