32 - Is Choosing to Eat Healthily an Eating Disorder? Real Talk with Ryan Mitchel Brown.

Hello Humans! Welcome to the 32nd show housed in “The Human Theatre”. Happy Happy New Year! May it be a year in greater health, consciousness, authenticity and inner-peace - you deserve it all! I have NO idea what the future holds, but I know it’s going to be exciting…and I am so honoured to be right here here, with you! We have some very exciting guests coming on the show, and I cannot wait to share them with you. We are starting the new year with a BANG!

He went through the “standard of care”, or as he calls it: weight restoration, but developed binge-eating disorder. However, because he was at a “normal” weight (according to BMI…which, you know how I feel about BMI as a metric), his eating disorder was ignored. Ryan continued his eating disordered behaviours until his body went into shutdown mode, after which he developed an autoimmune disease; Small Fibre Neuropathy. In a desperate attempt to reclaim his health, Ryan researched his way into Functional Medicine and healing through a whole food, animal based diet. As he began to heal himself, he became impassioned to become a recovery coach for others, helping them overcome their mental and physical health obstacles. Ryan and I informally debate the topic: Is choosing to eat healthily an Eating Disorder? Or, another way of putting it: “Is being health conscious an Eating Disorder?
