This episode is brought to you by my courses: PCOS and Food Peace and Dietitians PCOS and Food Peace. You CAN make peace with food even with PCOS and I want to show you how.
I want to learn more about you! I would love if you could take the 2020 Love Food survey: access it here: JulieDillonRD.com/Survey.
Mary wrote in: What is triggering me right now and threatening to cause me to grab hold of the "wellness" diet again (which led to orthorexia for me) are the emails, newsletter, posts, about how important it is to eat healthfully right now. For instance, up the "super greens" like kale and chard and lettuces and fruits and veggies. This is a catch 22. On the one had we are being told to eat fresh fruits and veggies and greens and on the other hand we are told to avoid people, to self-isolate. I can't keep my greens longer than a few days nor do I have a garden or live in an area that has fruits and vegetables available at outside markets all year long, so the only way to get the is to do what they say not to do: go to grocery stores. I know I can just unsubscribe and not read, but there is a tiny part of me that is saying, "but what if they are right" and the HAES and intuitive eating people are wrong? Again, another part of my disordered eating thinking.
Thank you!
Mary

| 0:00.0 | I never knew you could treat depression symptoms from your phone, but with this prescription app called Rejoin, it's possible. |
| 0:07.4 | It's for adults, age 22 and up with major depressive disorder who want to add to their antidepressant medication. |
| 0:13.4 | And get this, it's the first and only prescription app authorized by the FDA to treat depression symptoms. |
| 0:20.1 | Rejoin does not replace your current medication. |
| 0:22.8 | Be sure to use as directed by your health care provider. And if your depression symptoms |

| 0:44.0 | Podcast. Normally I have a number for you, but I don't today because I have no idea what number |
| 0:49.5 | it's going to be. I am Julie Duffy Dillon, your registered dietitian and host of this podcast. I hope this |
| 0:57.2 | episode helps to clarify what this registered dietitian thinks we need to know about the coronavirus, |
| 1:04.5 | pandemic, and immunity. It's been a really big question that people in my life have been asking me and texting me and |
| 1:12.3 | emailing me and shouting from across the street since we're not really able to be within six feet of each other. |
| 1:19.9 | But so many people have been asking me, what should they be eating? Should they be using certain oils |
| 1:25.7 | or maybe herbs to help their immunity right now? |
| 1:29.8 | And when I heard these questions, I heard the same kind of things that I'm feeling in my |
| 1:36.3 | body, this fear, this panic. An episode, I think it's going to be 211 of the Love Food Podcast, |
| 1:43.7 | the one I released right before this one. |
| 1:46.4 | I shared with you my feelings about this panic and fear. |
| 1:51.5 | And when people are wondering about how to increase immunity, I know that's a way for many of us to communicate how dire it feels. This is a really new thing |
| 2:03.3 | for pretty much all of us. Unless you live through before the polio vaccine came about, |
| 2:11.7 | you know, really we haven't had to live through anything this scary in a global way. I know many people, many listeners have experienced |
| 2:20.5 | very traumatic things and food insecurity. And I realize what I was just saying is totally |
