Hello and welcome to The Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast!   I am excited to welcome back another previous guest, Sara Van der Zwaag.  She is joining me for this special episode to discuss Integrative and Functional Nutrition and how this field can contribute to and inflame disordered eating issues.  Sara has worked her way through recovery from disordered eating and is now a holistic health coach, where she runs Sunflower Health & Wellness, a coaching practice that helps others heal from restriction, binge eating, and negative body image. Listen in as we cover the following topics and how Integrative and Functional Nutrition can contribute to disordered eating: Sara’s “false” recovery while studying at a Integrative Nutrition School How stress around food impacts your health How socioeconomic status and food access contributes to the “obesity epidemic” Traditional foods and food culture and why that’s important for health Emotional relationships to food and emotional eating Differentiating nutrition claims that are true or false based on the data AND so much more!
