Join us for an enlightening discussion with Jessica Sitnick, a renowned expert in eating disorder treatment, as we unravel the myths surrounding eating disorders, particularly in women over 40. Despite being perceived as a condition for younger demographics, eating disorders significantly impact women in midlife and beyond. In this episode, Jessica draws on her unique journey from anthropology to nutrition to shed light on the cultural, psychological, and systemic factors that shape our relationship with food.
Explore how chronic stress and societal pressures influence eating behaviors and how midlife transitions can affect body image and self-esteem. Jessica shares practical strategies for identifying disordered eating in ourselves or others, emphasizing empathy, respect, and holistic healing. We also dive into her "Healing Your Inner Eater" workbook, offering tools to reconnect with our bodies and embrace intuitive eating.
Tune in for a powerful conversation about self-awareness, the impact of ancestral experiences on eating habits, and building a healthier, more inclusive mindset around food.
