In this episode of the Unfiltered Wellness Podcast, hosts Amanda Mittman and Mackenzie Woolwich, weight-inclusive registered dieticians, discuss the impacts of diet culture, body autonomy, and the anti-diet movement. They share personal experiences with body image struggles, the evolution of their careers, and their commitment to prioritizing wellbeing over arbitrary standards. The conversation covers the effects of weight loss medications, societal pressures, and the challenges of navigating changing body sizes, especially as influencers shift their messaging. They also reflect on personal milestones, the complexities of aging, and envision a more inclusive healthcare system.
