In this episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, I welcome Dr. Cristina Castagnini, a licensed psychologist specializing in eating disorders. Dr. Castagnini shares her journey of overcoming an eating disorder and highlights the profound connection between diet choices and mental health. She discusses the misconceptions surrounding weight and health, the toxic impact of diet culture, and the importance of sustainable, balanced eating habits. Dr. Castagnini provides insights on maintaining a healthy relationship with food and exercise, emphasizing intrinsic motivation and the need to understand one’s body rather than external validation truly. The episode also touches on the complexities of new weight loss drugs and offers practical advice for fostering a positive and balanced approach to diet and mental well-being. Dr. Castagnini’s clinical expertise comes from her 25+ years of treating patients with various mental health diagnoses, supervising postdoctoral residents, and holding the position as the lead eating disorder specialist at a major hospital for over 15 years. Her continued passion for helping others and spreading awareness about mental health issues led to the opening of her thriving practice and her hosting a weekly podcast, Behind the Bite. 03:25 Welcome to the EZ Conversations Podcast 04:09 Cristina's Journey with Eating Disorders 06:51 The Role of Personal Experience in Therapy 09:46 Understanding Eating Disorders and Diet Culture 16:43 Balancing Exercise and Mental Health 24:35 Navigating Body Positivity and Health 25:44 The Misconception of Health and Body Size 27:29 The Dangers of Quick Fixes: Ozempic and Weight Loss 28:44 Understanding the Side Effects and Misuse of Medications 32:26 Actionable Steps for a Healthy Body and Mind 33:10 The Influence of Social Media on Diet Culture 35:11 The Importance of Balanced Nutrition 38:56 Finding the Right Diet for Your Body 42:40 Acceptance and Mindfulness in Eating 43:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sponsors of the Podcast: BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/ez10 for 10% off your first month of therapy WeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.
