Don't Salt My Game | With Laura Thomas, Phd

In the first episode of our summer shorts series, Associate Registered Nutritionist Pixie Turner and I dissect a worrying Cosmo article from the July 2018 issue that feels more like a flashback to the clean eating articles of 2014. The article called 'Choose it or Lose it' promotes unnecessarily restrictive food swaps, demonising perfectly good foods and reads like a 'how to guide to orthorexia'. In this episode we: ✨Discuss why it's unhelpful to focus on the minutiae of detail about nutrition ✨How food rules can lead to and overly restrictive diet and potentially even orthorexia ✨Blow the lid off some nutrition myths ✨How articles like this contribute to food fear Show Notes {Pixie Turner Nutrition} {Pixie on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook} {Refined Sugar Free is Not a Thing} {Coconut Oil is Over} {Can you Boost Your Immune System} {Resources for Orthorexia} {Podcast Episode on Orthorexia} {Social Media and the Rise of Orthorexia} {The Wellness Rebel}
