Is Eating Healthy Killing You? (Ft. Dr. Lauryn Lax) May 10, 2023

Show notes

Many of us want to be as healthy as we can to support our bodies to the best of our abilities - and one of the biggest ways we do that is by trying to choose healthier foods.
But sometimes even good intentions can lead to poor outcomes.
When trying to eat healthier, we may start to cut out whole food groups that we think are unhealthy.

And maybe in the pursuit of health, we even start limiting calories or restricting foods further, worrying that food intolerances may be affecting us.

Before we know it, our diet has become severely restricted. And with so much restriction, we may even start to develop a negative relationship with food, feeling stressed about our food choices and not being able to enjoy eating out.

The question becomes: at what point does eating healthy do more harm than good?

And how do we find the balance between choosing healthy options that nourish our body without being stressed or overly restrictive?

In this episode, Jordan talks with clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Lauryn Lax about when eating healthy actually causes harm.

Tune in to learn:

Why following “healthy” diets or restricting foods in the name of health can lead to poor outcomes
What orthorexia is and how to recognize it
The importance of having food freedom and balance
What it looks like to eat healthy without being too restrictive

And what can we do to better support and nourish our bodies?

In this episode, Jordan talks with functional nutritionist and expert on all things metabolism and women’s health, Jessica Ash, about how to work with their body to support their metabolic and thyroid health.
