    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?

    Orthorexia and Blood Glucose Tracking - Craig Lee

    Disclaimer - In this episode we talk about disordered relationships with eating, exercise and body image, including a lot of tracking behaviours. In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast, George is talking with Craig Lee. Craig is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice, specialising in eating disorders and body image issues. He has 18 years’ of experience working across behaviour change and mental health services in the NHS, private healthcare, and charity sectors. Having recovered from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia himself, Craig is committed to delivering compassionate, effective, individualised treatment. His approach is underpinned by seeing recovery as being about so much more than just symptom reduction, with a focus in helping his clients to live a life of meaning and purpose. Craig and George spoke all about Orthorexia, and how the fitness community unnecessarily focuses on 'optimisation'. We also share a love for the philosopher Viktor Frankl so we nerd out about him and the importance of 'meaning'. Devil's Advocate Question: For those who want to optimise their fitness and health goals, blood glucose and diet monitoring sounds like the right option. Don’t you think you are just demonising something that is helping people become their ‘best self’?
