About this episode

The episode discusses the risks of obsessive healthy eating patterns in cancer patients and strategies to address them.

Eating healthy after a cancer diagnosis is a common goal, but can you go too far? Karolyn talks with cancer and nutrition expert Conner Middelmann a Certified Nutrition Professional. Some studies indicate that people diagnosed with cancer are at risk of developing a disordered eating pattern characterized by an obsessive preoccupation with healthy eating and a fixation on food purity. Conner will discuss how to avoid and identify this extreme eating pattern and provide strategies to address it.
