Season 6, Episode 3: Working with Eating Disorders with Margo White
We are thrilled to interview Margo White on working with eating disorders in the neurodivergent population.
Margo is an accredited clinical nutritionist, a proudly neurodivergent AuDHDer, mother of two and founder of Whole Body Nutrition. She helps neurodivergent folk of all ages, genders and backgrounds to cultivate an emotionally healthy relationship with food—a relationship that understands and accepts that there are different ways of eating and that validates all sensory feeding differences. Margo draws from a neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, and lived experience lens, and in this episode, we cover so many things from feeding and eating differences to comfort eating and burnout.
