Topic: Disordered eating

Disordered eating encompasses a range of unhealthy behaviors, including restrictive eating, binge eating, purging, and the use of laxatives or excessive exercise, often driven by an intense preoccupation with weight, shape, or appearance.

More on: Disordered eating

The podcast episodes explore the prevalence and impact of disordered eating behaviors, particularly in the context of athletics, the modeling industry, and the influence of social media.

Several episodes feature guests who have personally struggled with disordered eating, such as the Olympic figure skater Gracie Gold ('Gracie Gold | Olympic Figure Skater'), and the founders of the health and wellness app KIC, Laura Henshaw and Steph Claire Smith ('Tackling toxic diet culture with Laura and Steph from Kic').

The episodes also discuss the role of social media and health influencers in perpetuating unhealthy attitudes and behaviors around food, body image, and weight loss, as seen in the episode 'What I eat in a day' videos and the new diet culture.
