This week we sit down and discuss (what we believe to be) a very important topic... Orthorexia, also identified as 'an unhealthy obsession with being healthy' is something that a lot of people might be able to or, historically, be able to identify with... we certainly do!

1. What the Fork is Orthorexia?
2. Can veganism play a part in Orthorexia?
3. How to introduce fear foods? 
4. How to move away from thinking refined sugars are 'bad'
5. Is eating a 'clean' brownie actually healthier than a real one?
6. Is it considered an eating disorder?
7. What are the consequences of it? 
8. What is the line between healthy eating and orthorexia?
9. Is amenorrhea a sign of orthorexia?
10. What to do if you think a friend or family may be suffering?
11. Is 'overdosing' on supplements a sign of orthorexia?
