025: Are Eating Issues Actually Control Issues?

True Food Freedom & Faith with Cheryl Szarko, RDN

In this final episode of Season 1, we discuss another major cause of a poor relationship with food and eating.

You might be surprised to hear that for many people, eating issues has very little to do with the actual food. Problems with eating are not usually due to informed nutritional decisions. At least, that's not all that goes into eating behaviors. In fact, quite often, food is not really the issue at all! There can be deeper reasons why people become bound up in disordered eating practices over time, and we are going to look at one major reason that changes healthy eating patterns into troubling relationships with food.
