Hey everyone. Thanks so much for tuning into another episode of the food heaven podcast with Wendy and Jess.

Hey, today we're going to be talking with non diet diet, Tishin, Kristi Harrison about a condition known as orthorexia, which is when people have an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating and Kristi is the perfect

And since 2013, Kristi has hosted the food psych podcast which explores people's relationships with food and past to body acceptance.

And it's now one of the iTunes top 100 health podcast reaching tens of thousands of listeners each week.
