Positively Anti-Inflammatory

181. Caring about your health, and the health of loved ones, is important, whether it’s trying to manage a chronic condition or disease, healing from an injury, attempting to decrease inflammation, or taking preventative action to insure healthy longevity. But, for some, an all-consuming focus on health may result in negative side effects, resulting in “healthism,” the belief that, in the pursuit of health, there is a “right” and “moral” way. Tune in this week as I further explain what healthism is, its origins, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it is problematic. I’ll share 4 tips to shift away from a healthism mindset.

180. Our culture labels certain foods as “good” such as vegetables and fish, or “bad” such ice cream and cake. We also tend to label ourselves as “good” or “bad,” based on what we eat. While this may seem harmless, it contributes to a toxic diet culture. When we assign moral value to the foods we eat, and to ourselves, it’s detrimental to our emotional and mental wellbeing. Tune in this week as I explore the dangers of labeling food good or bad, 3 reasons to stop and 4 positive approaches to cultivating a harmonious relationship with food.

174. Have you ever masked painful emotions by trying to just "get over it?” Ever feel guilty about feeling sad, angry, or frustrated? Do you tend to give “positive-only” perspectives, such as “Think of all you have to be thankful for!” instead of validating the person’s emotional experience? We understand the benefits of having a positive attitude, but what happens when that positivity turns toxic? Tune in this week as I define toxic positivity and what it means to experience it. I’ll examine its causes, signs, and expressions and why it is harmful to our health. I’ll discuss what to do about toxic positivity and provide non-toxic alternatives.
