Restrictive Eating, Disordered Behaviors & Healing with Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN (ep –69)

Restrictive eating isn’t always obvious, and it doesn’t always fit neatly into a diagnosis. From skipping meals in the name of “health” to counting calories until food feels like math instead of nourishment, disordered behaviors can show up in many ways. In this episode, Dr. Ginger Hultin sits down with Rachel Harvest, registered dietitian, behavioral health specialist, and founder of The Harvest Method.
