Episode 25: OCD & Disordered Eating

Ep. 25

TW: eating disorders/mental illness/binge eating/purging/restrictive eating


This week's episode is open and raw about how OCD can affect how we look at food. Statistically, if you have OCD, you are more likely to suffer from an eating disorder - and vice versa. Having knowledge of this can be helpful to understand the driver behind disordered eating in order to overcome it, and make food more of an enjoyment than an obsession.


You are not alone.
