In this episode the staff of Empowered RX gather for a round-table discussion about their lived experiences growing up immersed in diet culture. The sad part of it all is that the universal thread woven among all of our stories is one of self-deprecation, confusion and body shame. As a society we NEED to do better. 

Episode 22, Hosted by Jordan Connolly- focuses on diet culture experiences, family dynamics, athlete experiences and more. While all of our staff happened to have been athletes at one time or another, we recognize that diet culture is just as impactful for men & women with all sorts of backgrounds.... athletic or not.
