Whitney Port<\/strong> is giving fans an update on her health journey.<\/p>\n

As you know, fans have been concerned about the 38-year-old former reality star \u201clooking too thin” lately. Even her husband, Tim Rosenman<\/strong>, was worried about her appearance — although it turned out he was more upset about her being \u201ctoo thin from an aesthetic point of view” rather than being concerned over her health. AKA, she would be hotter with some more weight on her. Nice.<\/p>\n

While Whitney didn\u2019t believe she had a problem at first, she ended up reaching out to a \u201cnutritionist\/psychiatrist\u201d to seek help. And now, she\u2019s giving fans some insight into her first session, including what the doctor believes she\u2019s suffering from. And no, it isn’t disordered eating.<\/p>\n

During her podcast With Whit<\/em> on Tuesday, The Hills<\/em> alum shared that the nutritionist agrees with her and doesn’t think she\u2019s struggling with an eating disorder right now. Instead, they suspect she’s experiencing \u201cneurovegetative depression,\u201d based on her experiencing lethargy and \u201cnot necessarily making things a priority when they actually are.\u201d Plus, Whitney revealed she does take antidepressants and believes depression runs in her family:<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople in my family weren\u2019t technically diagnosed, but I have heard and seen behaviors that exhibit some depression so I feel like that is a little bit innately in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of the family history, the MTV<\/strong> personality noted that \u201cenvironmental\u201d factors contribute to her struggles, as her therapist pointed out that \u201cthere\u2019s being on TV at a young age, your dad passing, your aunt committing suicide, dealing with mom\u2019s depression and sadness since dad passing, multiple miscarriages.\u201d She’s definitely gone through so much over the past few years. Whitney continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of environmental challenges that I think have made me feel the way I feel: just a little bit depressed, just a little bit down.\u201d<\/p>\n

After hearing her therapist\u2019s diagnosis, the mom said it \u201creally made sense to\u201d her:<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like on paper everything is great. I\u2019m so happy, I really am. I have a beautiful marriage, a beautiful son, a beautiful house, like, food on my table, I get to travel, I mostly love my job. I\u2019m like, \u2018What is the issue?\u2019 And I think it\u2019s just all these underlying things that have slowly chipped away at some self-confidence, added to a little bit of what is in me . And I think that\u2019s what\u2019s affecting my weight, and my food intake, and I feel empowered, because I don\u2019t think that I have an eating disorder, and she didn\u2019t think that I had an eating disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n

That being said, the nutritionist also believes that \u201cthere may be some disordered eating, due to some emotional stuff, but I do not think that you have an eating disorder.\u201d And for Whitney, that \u201cfelt really validating\u201d to hear:<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt like I could trust myself, I felt like I could trust my gut. Like, I wasn\u2019t crazy. I was really scared that I was in denial about how I viewed myself, or what was actually going on. It was hard for me, because I was like, ‘S**t, am I not getting it?’ But I feel like I am. This stuff is serious. I am taking control. I am seeing the situation for what it is, and I don\u2019t want people to worry about me\u2026I am working on it, and I don\u2019t believe it to be as big of an issue as it was made to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

We’re proud of Whitney for taking this big step in getting some help for herself. But does it sound to anyone else like she was told exactly what she wanted to hear? Pretty convenient. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
