On today’s episode, Dr. Karen Nelson is joined by Alicia Phillips, a registered dietitian here at Melrose. Alicia and Karen will discuss Orthorexia or the obsessive pursuit of clean eating or living a healthy lifestyle. Of course, living a balanced and healthy life is important, but when this pursuit starts to feel obsessive and negatively impacts your day-to-day life that’s when it could progress into a diagnosable eating disorder.
