We're surrounded by nutrition advice—from social media, from experts, from people claiming it's all "research-based." Clean eating, macro tracking, cutting entire food groups... it's exhausting trying to figure out what's actually true.

But here's something we need to address: When healthy eating becomes an obsession, it stops being healthy.

Orthorexia is a clinical term for when someone becomes so fixated on eating "perfectly clean" that it interferes with their daily life. No flexibility. No joy. Just constant vigilance about food.

Everyone deserves to feel good in their body—but not at the cost of their mental wellbeing. Finding balance means taking in information thoughtfully and understanding what truly works for YOU, not what every influencer is selling.

Is ultra-restrictive eating worth it when it takes over your life? Let's talk about real health—body AND mind.

Why some people focus intensely on their body and controlling food 💭
It's rarely just about the food or the mirror. When someone becomes hyper-focused on their body or eating habits, there's often something deeper happening beneath the surface.

Anxiety can make control over food feel like one of the few things that's manageable when everything else feels chaotic. Low self-esteem whispers that changing your appearance will finally make you "enough."

Perfectionism creates impossible standards that keep moving further away no matter how much you achieve.

Sometimes it's about feeling seen. Sometimes it's about feeling safe. Sometimes it's the only way someone knows how to cope with overwhelming emotions or past trauma.

Here's what matters most: connection over accusation.
Telling someone to "just eat" or "just stop worrying about it" doesn't address what's really going on.

Instead:
✨ Listen without trying to immediately fix
✨ Ask questions with genuine curiosity, not judgment
✨ Acknowledge their feelings are valid, even if the behaviors are concerning
✨ Offer support in finding professional help when needed
✨ Remember that recovery isn't linear

The goal isn't to attack or shame—it's to understand and support. Creating a safe space where someone feels heard can be the first step toward healing.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out for help. You deserve support, not criticism. 💙

The tendency to delay seeking care sometimes comes from not believing you are “sick enough” to need treatment, especially when you compare yourself to others who appear “much worse.” Please know that if you are suffering, you deserve help and support. 💙

Recovery is for you, as you are, right now. 🦋 Let us join you on your way.

We're talking about extreme food restriction, intense fear of weight gain (even when significantly underweight), and here's the part that surprises people: distorted body image isn't just "vanity"—it's actually your brain's way of protecting you from panic when you're in survival mode.
