Description

This is a course about a major problem of healthy eating - eating disorder therapy - when the 'healthy' aspect become UNhealthy. There are two Instructors: Chris Sivewright and Johana Alandete.

Johana writes:

"I start by clarifying that I am not a health professional, I am not a doctor, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, or anything like that. I am, in fact, a Master in Administration, a writer by passion, a singer, an actress and a comedian with my friends and family... In fact, I always dreamt of being a comedy actress. BUT mental issues are important for me, reason why I research a lot from science papers, books, experts, and people who lives with. I am also a person who has gone through a depression diagnosed as severe, according to my psychiatrist. The madness (that is what I called my depression), manifested itself after I developed an eating disorder that began in near anorexia-bulimia and mutated into an orthorexia (not yet included in the DSM-5). At first, I started removing certain foods from my diet (sugar, grease, carbs, process food, some fruits), until I was afraid to eat two leaves of lettuce because it was too much. When I was almost in the bones, the depression began... I isolated myself, became almost a zombie, a body without a soul and the histrionic Johana who used to speak so much, who was exaggerating everything as a joke, who loved to laugh out loud, had become only "something", a physical body that inhabited an empty space. I stopped being someone."

  • Orthorexia is an eating disorder that haven't been included yet on the DSM because is relative "new" in comparison with Bulimia, Anorexia and Binge Eating Disorder.

  • Vegans, Vegetarians, Fitness people, Athletes, often have this condition because is an absolutely control for what you eat and the way it was prepared.

  • How clean is, how many calories does it has, how many macros... if it has a any quantity of carbs and you have a dinner with your family, so you discount all the carbs in your day to drink a wine at night.

  • To social meetings use to take their own meals and the food becomes their whole world, triggering an absolutely stress to the point they start to isolate, feeling guilty all the time, feeling sad, their personal relationships collapse, their mind is a calculator of macros and calories to the point they don't think in anything else, they have purges like vomit, laxatives and the body begins to feel unbalanced, and the person begin to lack vitamins and minerals.

  • Also, they have binge, mostly of peanut butter and have a high intensity training everyday. Sometimes, when they feel ate "bad", because they ate for example, two cookies, so the go to the gym to do up to 3 or 4 hours of training.

  • Finally, this take the people to a severe depression and high levels of anxiety.

Johana writes: "I lived with the illness for 5 years and is not so "Nice". So, now in the social media era, where the teen and young adult users who spend the most time on Instagram, and other digital platforms, showed a substantially higher rate of depression (13 to 66 percent) than those who spend less time on their cell phones. Study by the Child Mind Institute 2017. Is absolutely important to be armored because the comparison between lives, bodies, success and all that things, are ruining our lives."

This includes Johana's articles from the website "Asunto de Mujeres" (Women Affairs).

It is a good course which can affect you a lot. It is useful for secialists and for their patients also. I like the pronounse of speaker, so the time I spent was good for my ears also. Not so many good courses about orthorexia I found, and that one is the best. Thank you!

Rather hectic and incoherent at times - see the different chapters or extra's in the course overview. But that's only about the gift-wrapping and less about the content that has enough interesting things. To me, a great takeaway is about learning a different language by following a course in that language and totally immerse yourself in it.

Very interesting topic about eating disorder, well explained. I love that you not only learn what type of symptoms to look out for, and I love the personal story as guidance and encouragement on how to cope and live.

I made the unforgivable mistake of commenting in the wrong section which turned this into a very very bad experience. I was pretty passionate about this subject and still it turned out badly. I'll make sure I don't make that mistake on my other courses.

My only regret is that I didn’t prioritize this course sooner. Only seen the introduction yet, but I’m already convinced I will learn a lot!

Orthorexia is a serious problem, luckily I don't suffer from it personally, but I know people who have suffered from it. In any case, the more you learn, the more prepared you are to face problems in the right way. A course of this type is always very useful from all points of view, both for those who suffer from orthorexia and want to understand exactly what they have, and for those who have suffered from it and want to avoid falling back by understanding exactly what their demon was, both for those who simply want to learn something new, and for those who practice psychology and want to learn / repeat a crucial topic like this. The course is well structured, especially considering the short duration, but better a little and good than a lot and bad. So those who are not practical can decide if the topic is of interest to them and deepen it or not.

It’s a new term, not even there in dsm5, which I was totally unaware of, hence I first would want to thank Sir, for introducing it here, through his course. The information given is precise, to the point, covers everything related symptoms, diagnosis, prevalence, treatment.. everything. It’s such a noble and intellect act, to spread the word in such technical way and also creating awareness through free distribution of this course is commendable. Thank you !

Because it talks about a common reality not specified in the mental health issues. This also is hard to understand and diagnose, because it looks as a good habit, but is totally the opposite.

I found out that I definitely do not have orthorexia. I have never heard of this condition until now and I always like to learn new things and I'm looking forward to finishing the course so that if I run into someone with this problem, I have a place I can refer them.
