When does 'healthy eating' go too far? 

In this episode, we're chatting about orthorexia: an eating disorder that involves a fixation or obsession with healthy eating. Although it's not yet included in the DSM V as an official eating disorder diagnosis, you will commonly find it referenced in the media, blog articles and research papers and it is recognised by many mental health professionals and eating disorder experts. 

In this episode, Kiah and Meg discuss:

• How orthorexia might develop, including risk factors
• Some red flags or possible signs of orthorexia
• How to tell the difference between healthy eating and orthorexia
• The 'clean eating' movement
• Food rules vs. food preferences
• Diagnosis & prevalence of orthorexia
