Today I wanted to return to an ongoing series I am doing regarding different facets of “understanding anorexia.” This series will focus on various factors related to anorexia, including biological predispositions, genetic/epigenetic factors, personality traits, micronutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, environmental factors, and more. Anorexia is certainly a complex illness with many “pieces to the puzzle” (many of which are still not well understood). My hope is that these posts will continue to shine more and more light on aspects of what might be going on for each person suffering. (Or, bring more clarity to anyone who has recovered).
You can read my first post in this series on zinc deficiency and anorexia here.
Today I wanted to focus on the concept of “set-shifting” as it relates to anorexia.
This post will discuss:
- What is set-shifting?
- How might set-shifting relate to anorexia?
- What are some practical tips and strategies to consider?
