During this mental health spotlight, join nutritionist Eli Cruz-Rodriguez as he discusses the importance of cultivating a healthy mindset around eating and understanding what food anxiety is and how it can impact mental health. Food anxiety refers to a person feeling distress around food or eating, such as someone stressing over calories due to fear of weight gain.
