Binge Eating Dietitian Podcast
I'm Jo, I'm an anti-diet Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor from Ireland and living in Cambridge UK. I'm here to smash the taboo of binge eating. I have so so much to say about binge eating and I know you need to hear it. When you are struggling with your relationship with food, you can feel like you're the only person who knows how you feel. The truth it, lots of others are going through exactly the same as you, but thanks to binge eating being a taboo, you never get to hear about that. I'm a Registered Dietitian in Ireland, UK and USA. I share my professional and personal experience, real life stories and practical evidence-based advice & actionable steps to help you manage binge eating for once and for all. I hope you enjoy the Podcast, you can visit my website bingeeatingdietitian.com, follow me on Instagram @binge.eating.dietitian or e-mail me at jo@antidietanswers.com

EP 30: HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS & OUR EATING DISORDERS
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I'm sharing my personal insight into a disordered relationship with food and lots and lots of research to illustrate that we are not alone in this regard. I delve into the research surrounding Dietitians, Doctors & Nurses but I think it's relevant no matter what discipline you work in. If you're not a HCP, you probably know someone who is so today's episode is still worth a listen.
You might assume that dietitians always eat healthy. I assumed this too, and felt pressured to do so, so I tried (a million times) to give up sweet things, and I binged every. single. time. Healthcare professionals struggle with our relationship with food too. Unfortunately, it's a massive taboo, afterall, we are the ones who are supposed to be helping others. If you are a HCP and you binge eat, I'm with you - I understand the shame and guilt that surrounds the big mess that is binge eating.
