OCD and Eating Disorders – Understanding the Overlap

In today's episode, we’re diving into something that’s not talked about enough — the overlap between OCD and eating disorders. If you’ve ever noticed that your food rules, rituals, or routines feel more like compulsions, or that anxiety drives many of your eating behaviours, this one’s for you. I’ll break down how OCD and eating disorders can feed into each other, what signs to look out for, and how to start untangling the two so you can move toward real recovery. It’s such an important conversation because understanding the why behind your behaviours helps you build the tools to change them. Hope this helps you understand the overlap a little better.Let me know your thoughts!
