#69 - Plant based diets: Are they the healthy choice or just a front for disordered eating with Chlo Catherine

Chlo is a Dynamic Eating Psychology Coach and Therapeutic Nutrition Counselor. She has an inspiring story and comes from a pretty intense vegan and disordered eating background. She spent 11 years battling her body suffering from orthorexia, anorexia, amenorrhea and exercise addiction.Once she found pro-metabolic eating and added animal products back into her diet she got her period back, restored her metabolism and transformed her relationship with food.Today, Chlo lives on this huge property in California with her family. They make their own jam and have their own beehives and chickens.She’s super passionate about helping women heal their relationship with food and their bodies, restore their metabolisms, break free from restrictive diets and get their periods back.I get a lot of questions from women about going vegan or plant based so I thought I'd get Chlo on the show to discuss the downfalls of these diets and why they really aren't that healthy.In this episode, we chat about:➡️The nutritional deficiencies that are most common with plant based diets and the nutrients that are only found in animal products➡️Why animal foods are superior when it comes to protein➡️The dangerous idea that what you eat makes you a good or bad person➡️How we’ve accidentally started equating low calories to meaning “healthy”➡️Why nuts aren’t the best in large amounts➡️If you can’t tolerate something like dairy you need to ask yourself why your body can’t digest it and fix the root cause and,➡️Why being flexible with your food is importantLINKSFollow Kitty Blomfield on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kittyblomfield/Follow Chlo Catherine on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/flowwithchlo/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
