NWP Episode 313: Orthorexia, An Eating Disorder on the Rise and In Disguise with Kelsey Pukala RD/N
It’s been awhile since we’ve had an episode dedicated to orthorexia, an eating disorder where one is fixated on being healthy. In today’s episode I brought on one of the incredible dietitians at NMN, Kelsey Pukala, to help you understand this eating disorder and why it’s on the rise and in disguise.
