Orthorexia Treatment in Atlanta, Georgia
Orthorexia involves an intense focus on eating in a way that feels “clean,” “pure,” or perfectly healthy. While caring about nutrition can be positive, orthorexia occurs when rigid food rules, fear, and anxiety begin to interfere with physical health, emotional wellbeing, and daily life. At Revelare Recovery, we provide orthorexia treatment in Atlanta, Georgia as part of our comprehensive, trauma-informed eating disorder care for women.
Our approach supports individuals in finding balance, flexibility, and a healthier relationship with food and self.
What Is Orthorexia?
It is characterized by an obsessive focus on eating foods perceived as “healthy” and avoiding foods viewed as harmful or “impure.”
Over time, orthorexia can lead to nutritional deficiencies, increased anxiety, social isolation, and a sense of self-worth tied closely to food choices or control.
