What Is The Connection Between Eating Disorders And Chronic Conditions?

Interview with Kate Machado, RDN

We recently chatted with Kate Machado, registered dietitian nutritionist from San Diego who wants to bring awareness to how eating disorders can easily stem from chronic conditions.

We’ve been talking for a while now about adding an official new interview series to our blog – one where we chat with different specialists on a huge range of topics (all falling under the umbrella of health and wellness). We figured that it would be useful and interesting to go right to the source and chat with the experts themselves – we are very excited about it!

Expect more interviews to come, but for now, we’re thrilled to present our first installment in our interview series!
