"Clean Eating, Wellness Culture, and Eating Disorders" with Dr. Colleen Reichmann
"Clean Eating, Wellness Culture, and Eating Disorders"
with Dr. Colleen Reichmann
I am guessing we all want to be healthy, right? In today’s episode, I talk with licensed clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist, Dr. Colleen Reichmann, all about the trends of wellness culture and clean eating. Dr. Reichmann helps us see how through the lens of diet culture, our ideas on health and wellness may be a bit warped.
In addition to being a licensed clinical psychologist and eating disorders specialist, Dr. Reichmann is the founder of Wildflower Therapy LLC, and the coauthor of the book, The Inside Scoop on Eating Disorder Recovery: Advice from Two Therapists Who Have Been There, along with Jennifer Rollin. Colleen practices in Philadelphia, PA and also specializes in mental health specific to college students, maternal mental health, anxiety, and depression.
In today’s episode, we talk about how and why Colleen found herself specializing in eating disorders. We also talk about wellness culture, the prevalence of disordered eating, and why Colleen refers to clean eating as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Dr. Colleen Reichmann’s voice and work are a force in helping people move away from disorder and diet culture and into more healing and wholeness. I am so excited for us to learn from her today.
The Interview
Are you tired of being sold a broken brand of beauty?
The brand of beauty we are so often sold is way too small. It divides and dis-integrates us. I am on a mission to expand and re-discover beauty, authentic beauty. I believe beauty is the life of God at work in us and among us. Will you join me in exploring that kind of beauty?
