Fit, Fun, and Frazzled

Is wellness culture making us sick and creating a new disordered, rigid, strict way of eating? ** Trigger Warning for this episode! Disordered eating and orthorexia are talked about. Orthorexia is a moral or righteous fixation on consuming “pure” and “clean” foods. Everywhere now a days and especially online with celebrities and social media influencers seem to be talking about a detox or cleanse they are doing. But what actually are they detoxing from and why do they actually need to do a cleanse? This episode sheds light on a new way to look how "clean" eating and living "toxin free" can actually be hurting some people. There is a rise in disordered eating among females aged 35+ and women well into their 40's, 50's, and 60's that never had any issues before. Also in this episode Nikki talks about her own personal experience with following the Medical Medium protocols and jumping on the celery juice bandwagon. Nikki encourages everyone to listen to their own bodies and remember everyone is different. Disclaimer: Nikki is not a doctor, dietician, or counselor.
