With All Due Respect 96 w/ Nikki Parlitsis: POTS, Disordered Eating & Healing the Nervous System
Now available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
In Episode 96, Josh and Gray sit down with Nikki Parlitsis, functional registered dietitian and certified personal trainer, to unpack the complex connection between chronic symptoms, the nervous system, and disordered eating.
Nikki shares both her clinical experience and personal journey working with clients dealing with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), histamine intolerance, digestive issues, and binge eating behaviors. This conversation dives deep into how physical symptoms and psychological stress often feed into each other, creating cycles that can feel confusing, overwhelming, and isolating.
The conversation then shifts into an equally powerful discussion on disordered eating, where Nikki shares her personal experience and how shame, restriction, and stress can drive binge eating behaviors.
This episode is a deep dive into what it really means to heal — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and why true progress comes from understanding the body, not fighting against it.
