Episode 58: Orthorexia and The Food Attachment Model with Tiffany North

There came a point when Tiffany North was afraid to eat. An autoimmune condition that she was trying to treat with her diet and her training as a health coach led her down a road of Orthorexia.

Orthorexia, though not officially recognized as an eating disorder, is an extremely rigid way of eating that’s generally motivated for health reasons. 

Intuitive Eating helped Tiffany move past her rigid and extreme patterns of eating so she could restore trust in her body. On the podcast, Tiffany shares her story. 

Tiffany is also the creator of the unique and insightful Food Attachment Model, which allows people to understand their patterns with food by considering some factors like anxiousness, control, connection, and trust.

Episode 57: Why Setting Boundaries is So Important in Your Business and Your Relationship with Food with Ellie Lane

On the podcast, Ellie Lane, Life Coach and Clinical Social Worker, and I talked about our patterns that keep us stuck in certain areas of our life and what are the fears that keep them in place. Ellie shares the powerful practice of taking tiny steps and showing your brain that it can win at change. 

We talked about how the “shoulds” in life keep us in black or white thinking. For example, if someone believes they shouldn’t be eating sugar, they will either be staying 100% away from sugar or be eating more sugar than what feels good. The “shoulds” create an on and off switch. 

Establishing boundaries is so important to letting go of the “shoulds”, allowing our true expression to emerge and to align to our personal values.
