WHU 109: Your eating and the pandemic. What’s happening and how do we move forward with compassion?

Over the last 18 months, people have had tremendous pressure added to their (already overflowing) plate. This has shown up through increased anxiety, burnout, and coping strategies that sometimes involve food.  Carly Crawford is a registered psychotherapist with a focus on people’s relationships with their bodies, food, and disordered eating. In this episode, we cover a lot of ground including mental health and stress during the pandemic, your relationship with your body and food, and how we all try and move forward after this year.  We share tips on how to think about your mood and stress. We talk about how to ask yourself hard questions about your mood and your relationship with food. We talk about comparison syndrome, how to think about your social media, and trying to move our thinking about our health and wellness into “the grey” rather than feeling so black and white.

Welcome to Real Integrative Medicine, where we break down the barriers between evidence and integrative practice. Hosted by Dr. Jordan Robertson, ND, our mission is to empower both patients and clinicians to make confident, evidence-informed decisions with integrative medicine. What's real? What does evidence mean? How should research change our day-to-day health choices? The show will cover the intersection between health, habit change and mindset to help you make confident and science-backed decisions in your health care. The podcast is the sister to our Youtube channel, Real Integrative Medicine, which is geared towards practitioners who want to make evidence-informed recommendations for their patients, without having to dig into the research themselves.
