  • This episode is JAM packed with important info about eating disorders.
    We sat down with Dr. Malka Sears, a licensed clinical psychologist in NY and NJ providing high-quality evidenced based treatment, specializing in eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, body image, anxiety, and depression.
    The conversation around eating disorders, the use of Ozempic for weight management, and the significance of picky eating is crucial as it highlights the complex interplay between mental health, medication, and dietary habits. Ozempic, originally a diabetes medication, has gained attention for its weight loss effects, raising concerns about its potential misuse among those with eating disorders like anorexia. Understanding picky eating extends beyond mere food preferences, as it can sometimes signify deeper psychological issues or developing eating disorders, necessitating greater awareness and intervention.

    As someone who has struggled with an eating disorder for 21 years (since I was 14) I want to first thank you for bringing this topic up. I will give a few insights from a someone who actually struggles is 1) someone w/ an eating disorder we don't see our bodies the way others do and it doesn't matter what other people say. secondly if someone says "you look good" or "you look healthy" is translated as "you look fat" b/c if they were actually skinny and looking sickly you would not say ''you look good or healthy'. 2) after years of struggling with one type of eating disorder, they overtime become another. No one struggles with just anorexia or bulimia for 21 years - I've struggled with anorexia, but at times it was anorexia w/ use of exercise for purging (running 10 miles a day to burn calories 4-5 times a week and overuse of laxatives) 3) over time the eating disorder becomes where we only eat certain "safe foods" and eating in public can feel almost impossible. 4) The most important thing is early intervention. Notice it early. Treat it early. Before it becomes a lifelong handicap......To anyone who is struggling w/ an eating disorder, you're in my tefilos all time. I pray that this pesach we are truly freed of ED.

    I had a ed from when i was like 8 and when i was around 14-25 had bulemia. It messed up my teeth. I havent been bulemic since mid 20s and stopped extreme binge eating which took about another 5 years. Im at a healthy weight but still have some issues with eating and patterns. I get what she is saying about the ego part. I used to feel better when i was over exercising. Now i dont over exercise or under eat, and it was a uncomfortable adjustment to make. But i did it ❤

    I've been in recovery from anorexia with purging tendencies for 11 years and recently relapsed and I went on Ozempic. I'm also on dialysis for kidney failure but I don't have diabetes. I can't afford it but I have the prescription and I am spiraling. I don't eat for days. I am very concerned about what's going to happen when I get my ozempic script filled. Thank you for talking about this because I know I'm not the only person who has relapsed because of all of the Ozempic and diet pill talk that's literally in our faces. It's everywhere. I really hope it gets better soon.

    There's a kid in my family, he's about four years old, and he refuses to eat mac and cheese, cheese, and most veggies and fruit. He wasn't always like that, but does anyone know if that would be problematic?

      Kids taste buds change throughout. If he only likes banana then play around with that. Offer peanut butter on the side maybe he'll try it and love it or he'll hate it.
      Then do it again the next day... then again... eventually he may develop a taste for it.
      My daughter only likes nuggets. So I offer nuggets with apples
      Then nuggets with carrots
      Then nuggets with blueberries
      .. just fool around with it and they will eventually eat it.
      Lastly my motto is is not the food you want but it's what we have. So try it. You don't eat don't ask for snacks or juice!

      They should check the child for food allergies. My child would vomit all the time after eating foods. After years of him only eating eggs for every meal I finally took him to an allergist. He’s allergic to both dairy and beef. Now he’s overweight and eats everything.

    The question which needs to be asked is: Why are we only now, in our days, seeing these kinds of disorders? I am almost certain these conditions did not exist in the 1960's & 70's and if they did, they were very few and far between.

    • @holly_wood26
      @holly_wood26 5 месяцев назад

      Eating disorders were very existent in the 60's and 70's, they just weren't diagnosed or treated the way should have been.

      Same question can be asked about many disorders and medications for mental health issues.

      They were around in the 60's and 70's, they just weren't diagnosed or treated the way they needed to be.

      I graduated HS in 1976. Way too many girls were already anorexic or bulimic. I was stunned. All were pretty girls very body conscious and insecure from all different backgrounds. My BF became anorexic and reduced herself to a skeleton. So sad. My grama met her and later told me as a dancer she saw many girls go anorexic/bulimic to stay in dance. She recognized it right off ! There's nothing new under the sun.

      I don't think there were necessarily less amount of people with these disorders, there was much less diagnoses and there is much more awareness these days

    Hi..
    Yes.. my company began because my
    God Daughter was being bullied at 8 years old..
    She was beautiful, healthy, a normal weight . She was very hurt and angry..
    Few people speak of how many girls and now women over 35 years old , are suffering from anorexia and the other illnesses that were mentioned in your show. I can’t remember ever hearing on tv or anywhere a mention that more girls suffer and die from Anorexia, a very hard disease to cure ..

    Get in the best shape you can. Let the "experts" fight over if it's the right thing to do or not.

      "Getting into shape" should not even be a thing.... For so many reasons.

    When the nutrition expert has a double chin you understand that there might be something wrong with her advice.
