Podcast appearances and mentions of Robyn L Goldberg

Navigating Food, Body Image, and GLP-1 Medications: An Interview with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Therapists are seeing more clients struggling with confusing medical advice, new medications, and diet culture messages that impact their relationship with food and body. In this conversation, Curt and Katie talk with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C about how therapists can examine their own biases, support clients navigating restrictive medical guidance, and encourage healthier, more intuitive approaches to eating. About Our Guest: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Robyn began her career at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as the in-patient dietitian in the Department of Cardiology. Over the last twenty-eight years she has developed her own private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She is a contributing author and is a nationally and internationally known registered dietitian nutritionist. She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Vogue. She has been on national television as the eating disorder expert on The Insider. Robyn is the author of The Eating Disorder Trap: A Guide for Clinicians and Loved Ones, Co-author of the online course Your Recovery Resource, and the host of The Eating Disorder Trap Podcast. Key Takeaways for Therapists Therapists must examine their own food and body biases to avoid unintentional harm to clients. Many physicians have minimal training in dietetics and may give inadequate advice. Clients can advocate for themselves in medical settings, including refusing to be weighed. GLP-1 medications may reduce appetite but can cause malnutrition, fatigue, and bone/muscle loss. Intuitive eating offers a path back to a healthier, more trusting relationship with food.

In today's episode, we're diving into a subject we haven't yet explored on this podcast: eating disorders. This is an issue that affects millions of people worldwide, including many children and adolescents. For some, it's a deeply personal battle that often goes unnoticed by those around them. Research even suggests that certain groups, like girls with ADHD, might be at greater risk of developing eating disorders.  In today's conversation, we're joined by Robyn Goldberg, author of The Eating Disorder Trap. Robyn is here to shed light on this complex mental health issue and help debunk some common misconceptions. Many people think eating disorders are solely about food, but as we'll discuss, they're far more intricate—often tied to deeper emotional and psychological concerns. Robyn covers red flags that parents and caregivers should be aware of and discusses the role that shame, depression, and anxiety play in these struggles. She also touches on the impact of diet culture and how it affects us all. Robyn offers practical advice for parents navigating this journey and even shares details about her free online course for caregivers.   Show Notes: [1:58] - The number of people who struggle with an eating disorder is startling.
