Description

If you’ve ever tried eliminating foods to help your skin rashes, I want to share some newly published research on elimination diets + food fear.

This research is extremely eye-opening AND troubling simply because it tells us that there is a very significant + real risk of wrecking your relationship with food.

I’m not saying that improving the nutrient quality or diet diversity is a bad thing.

But elimination diets (regardless of health concerns) can be an extremely slippery slope to disordered eating or even eating disorders.

So let’s talk about how this happens and what the data tells us!

In this episode:

• Why people try elimination diets for their skin
• The disturbing trend I see as a clinical nutritionist (working with skin problems)
• Most common thing people do first when they start to flare up
• Research on the incidence of food fear from elimination diets for chronic skin conditions
• What if you have a history of an eating disorder?
• When to ask for help so you don’t end up with an eating disorder

Quotes:

Health problems can inspire substantial shifts in diet + lifestyle BUT, there’s a point where these changes can become counterproductive + even harmful.

I generally do NOT recommend eliminations for people with a history of an eating disorder unless they are working with a therapist trained in this area.
