When was the last time that you truly appreciated your body for what it is: an intricate, finely-tuned, spontaneous, living machine that takes doctors decades of training to even begin to understand? Ever scrutinized adult Tik Tok influencers for encouraging you to take in the same number of calories as a four-year old? Felt uncomfortable when the girl in your favorite teen movie “lost weight” and then became pretty? If not, you could benefit from listening to this week’s episode of Matcha Chat! Your hosts discuss their own experiences with toxic diet culture, how they actively dispel it, and why it’s worth it. Trigger warning: body dysmorphia, ED, toxic diet culture. Self love and good vibes to all.
