In this powerful conversation, we sit down Harriet Brown, Professor of Magazine, News, & Digital Journalism at the Newhouse School of Public Communications, to unravel the deep-rooted beliefs around eating disorders, diet culture, and body image. Harriet shares her personal journey as well as the historical and societal forces that continue to fuel our obsession with thinness. We dig into the research, explore the harm caused by intentional weight loss, and discuss how we can start breaking free from these toxic narratives. It's an eye-opening episode about redefining health, challenging what we've been taught, and planting the seeds for self-acceptance.
