OM DENNE EPISODE

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder diagnosis characterized by a persistent restriction or avoidance of food intake that results in clinically significant consequences (medical, nutritional, and/or psychosocial), but without the weight- and shape-driven psychopathology typical of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

In this episode, Megan Hellner and Katherine Hill outline how ARFID presents across the lifespan, why it is frequently missed in routine healthcare, and what an evidence-informed assessment and treatment pathway can look like in practice.

A central theme is that ARFID is not synonymous with "picky eating" and not confined to any one body size. Patients may present at any point on the weight chart, including those who are weight-stable or in larger bodies, and the condition can begin in early childhood and persist into adulthood.

The episode also highlights ARFID in athletes and physically active people, where restricted dietary variety and/or low intake can contribute to low energy availability and RED-S-like presentations, sometimes without an obvious intent to lose weight.

#616: More Testing, Better Health? Harms of Overdiagnosis & Overtreatment - Austin Baraki, MD

Medical screening is often framed as an uncomplicated good: if disease is found earlier, treatment can begin earlier and outcomes should improve. This episode examines why that reasoning is incomplete. Screening can produce benefit, but it can also generate false positives, incidental findings, ov…

A common idea is that repeated exposure to sweet taste strengthens our preference for sweetness, which then drives greater intake of sweet foods and drinks.

Supplement safety is often discussed in very general terms, but in practice the risks depend heavily on the individual.
