Episode 22: What is Orthorexia? With Caila Yates, MS, RD

Orthorexia is the sneakiest eating disorder of all as it is often disguised as "being committed to health and wellness." We often see athletes take an extreme approach and begin obsessing over clean eating, avoiding certain ingredients in foods, being afraid of excess calories and the feeling of guilt and shame if a workout is missed.

Join Caila and Brooke, two registered dietitians specializing in eating disorders and endurance sports, as they breakdown what orthorexia is, who's at risk, and what to do if you find yourself with the behaviors associated with orthorexia.
