How to deal with a “health kick” and when is that a worry?
What does regular and routine eating look like with an eating disorder?
Why is eating together key to a good relationship with food?
It was a phone call that was a defining moment in the career of Paediatric Dietitian Dr Lyza Norton.
A school teacher rang her asking for advice about children in a prep class starting a “skinny club” – the children were just 5 years old. That call has brought her to the work she does today in eating disorder prevention.
This latest episode of the Strong Enough podcast is an edited version of an EDFA webinar with Dr Norton answering questions about food fear and body image. It is a series of questions asked by EDFA’s Coran Johnson and by the live webinar audience.
If you want to be a part of webinars like this one and to ask your own questions then join EDFA to access the full exclusive webinar series.
Dr Norton has advice on how to deal with a health kick and when that’s a worry; tips on regaining regularity in meals and combating food noise; and why eating together is key to a good relationship with food in the future.
“If someone asked me how to protect my teens mentally I would be saying have dinner with them at night and have a chat about all sorts of things not necessarily what is on the table,” says Dr Norton.
Here is the link to the Feed Your Instinct checklist Dr Norton also recommended during the webinar.
