Bodyful Episode #14: Emily Murray on Healing Our Relationship With Food
/By Valerie Martin
There’s so much conflicting information out there about nutrition (including some that is straight-up harmful), that even very intelligent people can end up frustrated and confused about something so fundamental as daily nourishment.
That’s why, when I find people who are highly trained and are able to translate the cacophony of information on nutrition into something actually true and helpful, I want to spread their message far and wide.
One such person is Emily Murray, a registered dietitian here in Nashville and owner of Murray Nutrition.
In this converastion with Emily, we explore the normalization of disordered eating (thanks, diet culture!), what it looks like to start to heal a dysfunctional relationship with food, common obstacles that come up in that process and in eating disorder recovery, and more.
