This week we are joined by anti-diet dietitian and self-proclaimed pop punk, Kristin Lawton!  In this episode, we discuss:

• Kristin's story with her relationship with food and body
• How Kristin's approach to counseling and personal training has changed since learning about Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size
• The intersection of pop punk culture and anti-diet culture
• Dieting as a powerful political sedative 
• Disordered eating and body image struggles in the LGBTQ+ community
• Barriers to getting eating disorder treatment in the LGBTQ+ community

Before diving into this week's guest interview, I answer a listener question on why we crave calorie-dense foods when stressed.
