Understanding Disordered Eating Through MT/BCA
Disordered eating exists on a broad spectrum, often falling outside the criteria of a clinical eating disorder but still significantly impacting health and well-being.
HOW TESTING SHEDS LIGHT ON DISORDERED EATING
Many individuals struggle with patterns of chronic dieting, restrictive eating, bingeing, or an overwhelming focus on food. These behaviors can lead to metabolic disruptions, energy imbalances, and long-term health consequences. While not every case develops into a diagnosable eating disorder, early identification and intervention can prevent more severe complications.
At The Kahm Clinic, we provide objective assessments that help individuals and healthcare providers gain a clearer understanding of how these behaviors affect metabolism, nutritional status, and overall physiological function.
WHAT IS DISORDERED EATING?
Disordered eating includes a range of food-related behaviors that may not qualify as an eating disorder but still have consequences. Often driven by external pressures or a desire for control, patterns like chronic dieting, restriction, bingeing, and inconsistent intake can interfere with the body’s natural regulatory systems and lead to metabolic disruption.
Cycles of restriction and overeating are common, as the body responds to deprivation by slowing metabolism and triggering hunger. Diet culture can make these patterns difficult to recognize, even as they affect energy levels and overall health.
Testing can clarify how the body is processing energy and adapting to inconsistent intake, offering valuable insight for individuals and care teams.
DATA-DRIVEN INSIGHTS FOR BALANCED NUTRITION
Even without a formal diagnosis, disordered eating can affect your health. Metabolic testing and body composition analysis offer a clear picture of how the body is functioning. We take a science-based, weight-neutral approach—free from diet culture—to help individuals better understand their nutritional needs.
