Summary

This week I spoke to Christy Harrison, MPH, RD, who, in addition to being my close friend, is someone whose work has significantly impacted me. As a journalist she’s covered food, nutrition, and health for more than 20 years. As a clinician she specializes in eating disorders. Her writing has appeared everywhere from The New York Times to the Food Network, and she's written two books. We talked about the praise and criticism that comes with a large platform, the well-being practices she still does, and in a clip from an interview I did with her on her new show Rethinking Wellness where she asks me about how I got so into wellness culture so young. And how my episode on her first show, Food Psych, in 2013 about orthorexia was one of the early influences for her new book. We cover some topics from the book including the history of the hysteria diagnosis, and more.
