Millennial Body Image Project

Dr. Colleen Reichmann joins us again this week for a very needed, very nuanced conversation around aging, self-care, botox and body image! We talk about how it's normal to experience conflicted feelings about aging and 'tweakments' like botox, fillers, red light therapy, etc. We also discuss how insisting people should just love their bodies as they age and calling age a privilege doesn't address the system that creates the fear of aging.

This week we have a nutrition in the news episode all about Big Food and anti-diet influencers & dietitians! A juicy article came up on Washington Post that we *needed* to dig into, titled: As obesity rises, Big Food and dietitians push 'anti-diet' advice – and you KNOW we were going to have some opinions on this one. We discuss how anti-diet language is being co-opted, but not in the way the article mentions. Big Food is also starting to cash in on the anti-diet "trend" and marketing to reach more people. Let's discuss!

PS – I mentioned "the Examiner" as the other paper the Washington Post did this report with, it's actually "the Examination", which calls itself "a a new nonprofit newsroom specializing in global public health reporting."

Kate Scarlata joins us to talk about managing IBS and stress overload, the gut-brain axis, IBS mimickers, and when to re-examine your gut symptoms with your doctor. What do you do when you feel like you've tried everything to manage IBS, and you're still experiencing symptoms?

This week we have a body image-centered episode for Valentines' Day week - Why Millennials can't love their bodies. We know a lot of millennials can relate to the "oh that's cool for them, but not for me" to embrace body acceptance and neutrality. We're digging into the layered impact that diet and wellness culture has set for our generation, and the difficulty of unlearning the limiting beliefs. This is the beginning of a series we'll be going into over the next few months, so stay tuned!

On this week's episode we're discussing: is dry January the new whole30? And how to examine your relationship with alcohol in a non-diet way. We talk about the similarities and differences between dry January and strict food elimination protocols, and how dry January *can* be used in a way to examine your relationship with alcohol. Or is it just another way for us to try to control our waistlines?

Disclaimer: There's nothing wrong with wanting to examine your relationship with alcohol, or experimenting with reducing your alcohol intake. It's objectively it's better for your health to do so. BUT. We're find a lot of parallels between the binge-restrict cycle of whole30 and the same thing with alcohol. Listen for the full discussion!
