87: Eating Disorders in Pregnancy with J...

Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH
About this episode

"Pregnancy can be an intense time for women with eating disorders." Most eating disorders, including binge eating disorder, food addiction, and emotional eating occur in women during their reproductive years. It’s not unusual for someone with an eating disorder to also be pregnant or for relapse of an eating disorder to occur during or after a pregnancy. My guest will discuss some of the issues related to nutrition that occur when eating disorders like binge eating disorder, food addiction, and emotional eating occur in pregnancy.

In this podcast, you will learn:

  1. What is the most critical time for your baby to get the best nutrition for health and development?

  2. What are some of the triggers during pregnancy for binge eating disorder, emotional eating, and food addiction?

  3. How to nourish yourself during the fourth trimester.
