In this episode I sit down with Christy Maloney, Registered Dietician and Eating Disorder Specialist. A former banker, Christy got her start in the nutrition industry as a second career. She holds a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition and various certifications in nutrition, personal training, and eating disorder treatment.

In this episode, we get to the nitty gritty of:

- how nutrition advice has evolved over time to be less shaming and more neutral
- the role that trauma plays in determining our eating habits
- what's really behind binge eating disorder
- is obesity really genetic?
- why do some people tend not to eat when they are stressed?
- what is body dysmorphia and how can we have a more realistic view of our bodies?
- what is intuitive eating and why diets don't work

BONUS! We answer some burning questions from the audience. Hear Christy and I give our top notch clinical advices on:
- ways to set boundaries with loved ones around their comments on your choices of food and drink (especially if you're in recovery from an eating disorder)
- how to approach a partner who has expressed that they are not attracted to you anymore because you gained weight
- how to be less of a picky eater and normalize eating the same things over and over
