THE 30: The Skinny on Fat

I’ve been wanting to do this episode for over a year now, but I’ve put it off because I thought “Rachie-bear, you really should get someone a bit more qualified on with you to nut this one out”. But then I figured, “hey, I’m almost a qualified clinical nutritionist myself, I can probably tackle the… Continue reading THE 30: The Skinny on Fat

THE 28: Anorexia Reframed – Squashing That Stereotype
