Near-breaking points, reclaiming control, and the in-development production of his film, working with charities to address a growing issue. 

We all have a role to play in the discussion, narrative and perpetuation of “ideals” that deepen insecurities that everyone, no matter what their gender, experiences.

This was such an insightful and thought-provoking discussion

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Dr Alan Flanagan this week delving into topics like political violence in American history, referencing past presidential assassination attempts and their little influence on election outcomes. We also discuss the current political polarisation, focusing on the Trump-Biden election dynamics.

Far removed from regular nutrition “chat”, we got into the weeds of topics often untouched

Sophia and I get into the deeper needs people who perpetually diet need to address.

Predatory capitalism, body image worsening with rigid constraints around food and exercise, distinguishes between the promotion of fat loss and support. Quick fix fads and so much more.
