Melrose Heals: A conversation about eating disorders Melrose Center

On today’s episode, we’ll have a conversation with Joelle about her recovery from an eating disorder.
You'll hear how eating disorders can morph and change over time. Symptoms may change and even the diagnosis can change as situations impact our lives. But recovery is always possible.

On today’s episode, Dr. Karen Nelson is joined by Alicia Phillips, a registered dietitian here at Melrose. Alicia and Karen will discuss Orthorexia or the obsessive pursuit of clean eating or living a healthy lifestyle. Of course, living a balanced and healthy life is important, but when this pursuit starts to feel obsessive and negatively impacts your day-to-day life that’s when it could progress into a diagnosable eating disorder.
