For many of us we find speaking out loud about eating disorders to be a highly sensitive topic. Whether we have our own inner struggle or know someone that does, it can be hard to bring up a conversation to try get on top of the issue.
In this episode Natalie airs her own personal struggles out loud to inspire others to find their own inner strength. Nat brings her powerful story about her health struggles including suffering eight long years with an eating disorder. She is now a holistic dietician, nutritionist and certified fitness instructor working in both clinical practice and technical education. Nat contributes to the infamous "I Quit Sugar" blog and has her own podcast show "The Holistic Nutritionist".
We talk about the strong influence of social media in particular with our children going through their teenage years. We discuss early warning signs to look out for in children that might be suffering from the early stages of eating disorders and ways to install positive messages that don't focus on body image.
For those suffering from their own battles with eating disorders, Natalie openly shares techniques that allow you to switch your focus to more positive influences, away from detrimental habits that are easy to fall into when your mind is trying to overcome an eating disorder. Natalie believes in the power of support networks through friends and family that stick by your side no matter what.
