In this episode you’ll hear: * Dr. Ross shares a little more about what she does, who she helps and how she got involved in the eating disorder side of medicine (2:12) * So many diseases have a direct relationship to what we eat, and for the most part addiction and nutrition are not taught in depth in medical school. Dr. Ross explains how physicians preach the same old song that you need to lose weight to be healthy, and why this perspective isn’t inclusive or very constructive for many people. Instead she has a more lifestyle approach to healthcare and eating because diets do not work (5:36) * What is binge eating and emotional eating according to Dr. Ross? She shares how the term has received diagnostic criteria in recent years but it is still part of a large spectrum. In her opinion, the root of all eating disorders is situated within childhood trauma and experiences (10:02) * It is possible to talk about trauma, process it and determine how food fits into your healing process according to Dr. Ross. She shares what traits and experiences her clients have felt when dealing with food and emotions (16:22) * What helps people reconnect with their emotions? Dr. Ross believes in guided imagery, breathwork, and how you need to reconnect with how your emotions feel in your body. She explains how women are more often than not impacted by this disconnect between food and emotions (20:31) * How do guilt and self blame come into play with disordered eating patterns? According to Dr. Ross, society tends to echo this narrative of self blame and while medicine doesn’t have a magical fix it pill, there is an approach to healing that doesn’t focus on weight or size (23:43)

On today's episode, Dylan dives into 3 major problems that present from the clean eating movement. Clean eating gives morality to food, screams privilege and can set people up for struggles with disordered eating and eating disorders such as orthorexia. Buying foods organic, non-GMO and all those other buzzwords is not cheap. And so to put those foods on the pedestal of "optimal health" leaves a lot of people out of the conversation.
