Cristina and Dana do a deep dive on: "what is healthy, and what is healthism? This episode is an invitation to dig into what we think about health. How do we define healthy for ourselves, and where does that language come from? What are the assumptions behind our beliefs about health? We talk about how health and health-promoting behaviors exist on a spectrum; where healthism and judgment come into play, and how 'healthy' can become a toxic identity.
