About this episode

This episode explores ARFID, or Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, a lesser-known eating disorder that is not driven by body image concerns. Learn how sensory processing, fear responses, and appetite signals in the brain can influence eating behaviors and why ARFID is much more than picky eating.
