From Raw Vegan to Orthorexia | Untangling Your Diet from Identity with Nutritionist Sarah Britton

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I will be chatting with food blogger, cookbook author and nutritionist Sarah Britton about her experiences with raw veganism becoming a dangerous eating disorder and how she untangled her diet from her core identity. Sarah talks about the exclusivity of certain extreme diets like raw veganism and how it serves to perpetuate the internalization of one’s diet as identity. She talks about the physical and mental health implications of her restrictive raw vegan diet and what triggered her body to beg for a diet change. She talks about the identity crisis she faced upon introducing animal products to her diet, especially as a person in the public eye. And I finish with some tips on how to uncouple your diet from your core identity if and when your diet is no longer working for you.

Trigger Warning: I want to flag that we will be talking about eating disorders, and we will also be discussing Sarah’s experiences with veganism, some of which was not positive or helpful. I do not want anyone to take this as me or Sarah not supporting a plant-based diet because as you’ll see, we absolutely both do.
