In this week’s episode I’m joined by return guest Lizzy Pope, a professor and director of the undergraduate dietetics program at the University of Vermont. Lizzy is also a certified intuitive eating counselor and her research focuses on weight-inclusive nutrition education and manifestations of diet culture in social media.

Together, we discuss:

• How weight inclusivity & the rise of Ozempic have impacted dietetics
• The glorification of weight loss on TikTok
• The lack of expert voices providing nutrition content
• How TikTok videos perpetuate thin privilege and racism
• The challenges of learning and teaching weight inclusivity
