Interview with Dr Jim Kantidakis - The Talking Gut Podcast
I sat down with Dr Jim Kantidakis for Episode 36 of his podcast, *Talking Gut*, for a wide-ranging conversation on dietetics, eating disorders, and the gut-brain connection. If you've ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of eating disorder treatment — or you're supporting someone through it — I think you'll get a lot out of this one.
What we talked about
Jim and I covered a lot of ground over the ~90-minute chat, including:
- The role dietitians play in eating disorder treatment, and how we work within multidisciplinary teams
- Common misconceptions about recovery and nutrition
- Restrictive eating, bingeing, orthorexia, and emotional eating
- How body image, social media, and gut health all influence eating behaviour
- Practical strategies for patients and families — from meal support and structure to rebuilding a healthy relationship with food
- What eating disorder recovery might look like
Whether you're a clinician, a carer, or someone navigating disordered eating yourself, I hope this episode offers something compassionate, practical, and genuinely useful.
