#314: OCD and Eating Disorders + Finding Identity After Recovery with Abbie Attwood

I’m joined by Abbie Attwood (she/her), an anti-diet, weight-inclusive nutritionist with a masters in clinical nutrition. We’re talking about Abbie’s experience with OCD and an eating disorder, why there is an overlap between these and what helped her most during recovery. We also talk about how to find your identity if it changes because you’re no longer obsessively dieting or exercising.
