In this week’s episode Hannah and Ali talk all things gender. In recognizing this is a topic beyond their lived experience and expertise, Hannah and Ali asked the incomparable James Rose to join them for this important conversation. James does it all - they are a non-binary New York City based actor, Health at Every Size Personal Trainer, trauma-informed yoga teacher, co-host of the @Full.Soul.Nutrition Podcast and the perfect person to answer all your questions on gender. What’s the difference between gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia? Do eating disorders show up differently for trans folks? Is it true that there is a double stand in how we approach disordered eating and eating disorders for different genders? How do you navigate same gender relationships when you’re struggling with comparing your bodies to each other? What is the most inclusive way to understand gender, sex and sexuality? James Rose has the most incredible ability to inform and enlighten using their lived experience while making you feel like you’re having the best chat with your BFF. Hannah and Ali are SO excited to share with their listeners this dynamic conversation with James on the intersectionality of gender, eating disorder recovery, diet culture and the complexity of body image. 

Make sure to head over to the @eatcakepod Instagram account Monday-Friday at 3pm PST for a live support "Snack Time & Chill"- a chance for a supported snack at a physical distance, to ask your nutrition questions and have some laughs along the way.
