I’ve lived at every stage of the eating spectrum - from normal eating, to disordered eating, to recovery and intuitive eating. In this episode, I unpack what each stage looks like in practice, and why recognising the messy middle matters so much in naturopathy and holistic care. For practitioners and anyone curious about the overlap between wellness culture and disordered eating.

We explore:

• The eating spectrum - from intuitive eating to clinical eating disorders, and why most clients sit in the messy middle.
• My lived experience moving through every stage of the spectrum, and how it shapes my practice today.
• How naturopathic and wellness programs like Metabolic Balance (yep, I’m going there!) - along with elimination diets and food sensitivity testing - can look “scientific” but actually fuel disordered eating.
• Why early recognition and referral saves lives
• A sneak peek at upcoming episodes, including a full deep dive on Metabolic Balance.
