Episode Details

Where is the line between having a balanced, healthy diet and diet culture? I'm joined by my friend Katie Kuhlmann, a licensed counselor from Omaha, Nebraska, as we explore the shifting forms of orthorexia (for more on WHAT orthorexia is, visit my episode from Oct. 11, 2022).

Listen as we address the difficulty in distinguishing a healthy from an unhealthy obsession with health.
