Many of our episodes are science heavy… this one is emotion heavy.

My guest this week, Karin Pitcairn, now practices as a non-diet aligned nutrition therapy practitioner, but as with many of us – she came to her current professional landing place after a rocky relationship with chronic dieting and disordered eating.



In fact, Karin participated many years ago in a 12-Step Program for Food Addiction (while she was suffering with an eating disorder), and her personal story highlights the dangerous nature of these programs – which are still in existence today!



While this episode may not be appropriate for those still early and vulnerable in their recovery, if you are able to hear Karin’s story, I hope that it invites you to understand how our cultural obsession with thinness tragically harms women who are willing to do anything to comply.
