Fear Foods: Why ARFID Is Much More Than Just ‘Picky Eating’ While food is often the centerpiece of social connection, those living with avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder, or ARFID, fear these daily meals. Unlike many other eating disorders, this condition is driven by sensory sensitivities or a lack of interest in eating rather than concerns over body weight or composition. Our experts explore treatment options and the reality of navigating a world focused on food when the very act of consuming it feels like an exhausting chore. Guests:  Dr. Kamryn Eddy, professor of psychology, Harvard Medical School, Co-Director, Eating Disorders Clinical and Research Program Cassidy Arvidson, ARFID advocate   The Secret To Productivity: The Big Three Factors Every Space Needs The physical environments where we live, work, and play have a profound impact on our mental state and productivity.
