In today's solo episode, Marie-Pier will be diving into the topic of movement and its relationship with eating disorders and disordered eating recovery.
Marie emphasizes that physical activity is a personal journey and its incorporation into treatment should be based on individual needs and considerations.
She acknowledges the pressure from diet culture to prioritize movement and explores how diet and fitness culture intersect to create a perfect storm of disordered behaviours.
Marie shares her personal experience with movement and its connection to her own eating disorder, highlighting the importance of redefining our relationship with movement in a way that aligns with our recovery.
She explains how excessive exercise, using movement to compensate for food, and the obsession with burning calories are all indicators of disordered behaviours. Marie also discusses the role of movement in treatment, and the importance of medical stability, and provides insights on how to heal our relationship with movement.
So, grab your headphones and join us for an informative and empowering discussion on movement and its impact on our healing journey. Let's get to the podcast!

Welcome to The HealED Podcast! I'm your host, Marie-Pier.
On today's solo podcast episode, we are taking a dive deep into the role of dietitians in eating disorder care. We separated the role 4 stages:
1- Prevention
2- Early Detection
3- Treatment
4- Maintenance
The dietetic profession has unfortunately caused a lot of harm (and truthfully, continues to cause harm) in this space. And, when we know better we do better.
This episode aims to highlight the crucial role of dietitians in eating disorder care from an anti-diet and weight inclusive lens.

Welcome to The HealED Podcast! I'm your host, Marie-Pier, and today we have an incredible guest joining us, Jasna Robinson-Wright, an amazing registered dietitian at The Balanced Practice.
In this episode, we're diving deep into the intersections between health conditions, eating disorders, and navigating dietary restrictions without triggering disordered eating.
Jasna and I discuss the dangers of jumping straight into the most restrictive route when addressing health issues. We challenge the common belief that cutting out dairy and gluten is necessary for various health conditions.
We also explore the confusion and misinformation surrounding food and nutrition advice in the information age. With everyone feeling like experts on nutrition and readily giving advice without solid evidence, it's important to discern what's valid and what's not.
Moreover, we delve into the pervasive influence of diet culture, wellness culture, and weight bias in society. Popular diets often receive media attention and hype, despite lacking proven effects. Believing that certain foods are "bad" can lead to guilt, shame, and potentially worsening health conditions or disordered eating.
So, grab your favourite beverage, sit back, and get ready for an insightful and transformative discussion on healing, health, and intuitive eating. Let's dive right in!
