Restrictive Eating, Disordered Behaviors & Healing with Rachel Harvest, MS, RDN (ep –69)

Restrictive eating isn't always obvious, and it doesn't always fit neatly into a diagnosis. From skipping meals in the name of "health" to counting calories until food feels like math instead of nourishment, disordered behaviors can show up in many ways. In this episode, Dr. Ginger Hultin sits down with Rachel Harvest, registered dietitian, behavioral health specialist, and founder of The Harvest Method. Drawing on her experiences as a professional ballerina and her clinical work, Rachel shares how diet culture, family history, and social pressures shape restrictive eating, and how healing happens when we address both behavior and mindset.
