Food and Drink

What does it actually mean to have a healthy relationship with food and your body? In this episode, eating disorder specialist Donna Friedman joins us to unpack the line between dieting, disordered eating, and an eating disorder, plus why changing your body doesn’t always change how you feel about it, and what it really takes to find peace with food.

Eating disorders don’t have a certain “look,” and diet culture can be a gateway to disordered eating for many people. Morgan DiPrimo joins me to talk about the eating disorder crisis, social media, wellness culture, and why we need more stories of recovery and resilience.

After conducting over 450 interviews with experts and people with lived experience, filmmaker Morgan DiPrimo has learned that recovery conversations often miss the mark, focusing on why people get sick rather than how they get better. In this episode, she opens up about her own story, the misconceptions still surrounding eating disorders, and why she’s turning what she’s learned into a documentary.
