- Inside Overeaters Anonymous
This week I gained an insider’s perspective of Overeater’s Anonymous (OA) with my courageous guest Halina Brooke. As an ex-member, she is livid and ready to vent her spleen about the goings on in this super secretive organisation. Just what is OA all about, and how helpful is it for people who seek their guidance? Is OA helping people to recover, or is it just trying to force people to be ‘better’ at disordered eating?

41 min - Losing Weight For God
This week my guest Meg McClintock is mad as HELL about “Weigh Down Ministries,” a church devoted to weight loss. We thought it was a joke at first but nope, it’s a thing. As an anti-diet dietitian and a Christian, Meg is ROPEABLE about the idea that ‘thinness is Godly’. You won’t believe the outrageous claims being made by this eccentric evangelist!

40 min - Sugar Hysteria
This week we’re All Fired Up on sugar! My incredible guest is Marci Evans, anti-diet dietitian, speaker, and eating disorders specialist. She’s had an absolute GUTFUL of the sugar hysteria gripping our planet, and is here to set the record straight! Is sugar addictive? Do we need to constantly police our intake? Why is Sarah Wilson’s hair so shiny? Has the world gone completely round the twist? Don’t miss this fabulous dose of sensible sugar talk!

56 min - Scales In Schools
This week I am in a fit of rage with anti-diet dietitian and mum of two Alison Stewart. A flurry of headlines announced a new program in NSW schools to force kids to be more physically active, all in the name of 'reducing obesity.' Weighing kids, fitness assessments, and fitness report cards were just some of the scary sounding stuff printed in the papers. But what is really going on here? Alison and I took a deep dive beyond the hysterical headlines, into the actual study that these were based on. And we found that the headlines don't match the study. And we also found that the study's conclusions don't match the actual data. The deeper down the rabbit hole we went, the more interesting it became! SO much bulls**t! Don't miss this fascinating episode!

45 min - Reclaiming Your Body In Diet Culture
In this week’s episode of All Fired Up, I am honoured to rant with Tracy Brown, RD and somatic coach from Florida, USA. Tracy is fed up with diet culture and how it basically forces us to leave our bodies!! The physiological impact of diet culture is disembodiment, which is a huge barrier to compassionate self-care. When we listen to diet cultures’ ‘rules’ about what is an acceptable body, we swallow the idea that we can’t trust our bodies at all. Don’t miss this fascinating discussion about how utterly shitty it is to be taught this message, and hear some seriously awesome strategies to get back in and reclaim our glorious bodies! There is NOTHING wrong with our bodies, but something is SERIOUSLY wrong with diet culture!

51 min - Wake Up Weight Watchers With Rebecca Scritchfield
The latest ploy from Weight Watchers to capture our kids by offering ‘free’ memberships for teenagers has seen a MASSIVE and absolutely heartening backlash from a whole range of people. This week on All Fired Up! I was blessed to rant with Rebecca Scritchfield, anti-diet dietitian whose Washington Post article protesting against WW really helped to spur along the #WakeUpWeightWatchers campaign. Join us for an incredibly passionate and inspiring conversation about how strong and LOUD voices raised together can seriously change the world!

53 min - When #Fitspo Meets Multi Level Marketing: The Juice Plus Double Cross
This week on All Fired Up! We have DOUBLE the outrage, with 2 amazing guests! It’s an incredible story of how Katie Rowell, cross fitter and eating disorder survivor, became sucked into the dark underworld of gaslighting #Fitspo women who turned out to be much less concerned about her health and much more concerned about her ability to sell, sell, sell their crappy, expensive Juice Plus products! Seduced by the promise of “#no restriction,” Katie soon learned that their “gourmet Cleanse” was actually a one way ticket back into her eating disorder. It’s a harrowing story which needs to be heard. We then hear from Dr Tim Crowe, expert dietitian and sworn enemy of nutritional multi level marketing, who takes us through the slimy, devious, underhanded and frankly diabolical business practices of Juice Plus. This is a NOT to be missed episode!

1 hr 2 min - Jenny Craig is Targeting MenThis week on All Fired Up! I am venting with anti-diet dietitian Shane Jeffrey, who is ROPABLE about Jenny Craig’s latest ‘ambassador’: Brendan Fevola. It’s a blatant attempt to get men to jump on the weight loss wagon, which as we know is doomed to fall off a cliff! Diet culture is definitely turning up the heat on the male body, and far from being a positive force on our boys and men, we’re seeing a huge increase in disordered eating. The truth is, the weight loss industry and diet culture is incredibly harmful to men, women, and all of us in between. Don’t miss this awesome conversation!

42 min - Dissecting The Superfast DietThis week I’m back with the fabulous Fiona Willer from Health Not Diets, and we are SEETHING over the launch of yet another terrible diet! Join us as we dissect the outrageous claims of the “Number 1 Superfast Diet,” which is quite literally promising the world to anyone who’ll listen. Diet culture media has lapped up the bulls**t, without bothering to dig underneath any of the glitter. Fear not as me & Fi have DUG BABY – and you won’t BELIEVE what we unearthed! Don’t miss this fabulous dismemberment of diet world duplicity!

56 min - Size Matters with The Fat TherapistThis week I get totally ranty with Ashlee Bennett, AKA The Fat Therapist. Why aren't we talking about body size, weight bias, and how all of this impacts us in therapy? This is such an important topic and yet we seem to have no words. In this unmissable episode, we talk all about how body size really is A THING. We get into why it's important to check your privilege if you're a thin therapist, how therapists and health professionals working with people in larger bodies seriously need to unpack their own weight bias before working to help others. We also talk about how clients in larger bodies can approach this topic in an empowering and therapeutic way. Let's use therapy to bust diet culture wide open - not to support it!
