160. Eating Disorders vs. Obesity-Related Eating Behaviours (Part 1)

In today’s episode, I walk through the spectrum of disordered eating — from everyday overeating to clinically significant eating disorders like binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa.

I explain how these behaviours differ, where they overlap, and why so many people feel confused about their relationship with food. I also cover the science behind appetite, reward pathways, and why some individuals are more vulnerable than others. This episode will help you understand the foundations before we dig deeper next week!
