RIP Diets

Whew baby, we're back with another round of "I Have a Bone to Pick" featuring return guest and brilliant skincare maven, Charlotte Palermino! After educating us on the Tuesday episode, she is ready to blow off some steam and talk shit about all things DIETS and WELLNESS! The fact is... there are no facts! None of it is rooted in science. The majority of "wellness" is really about the pursuit of thinness, and we already know this. I bond with Charlotte over being stigmatized as a young child for being "chubby", being sent to camps that forced us to lose weight (although hers wasn't even technically a fat camp), and being asked "What's your secret?" when the answer is almost always GENETICS! This is a very passionate bone to pick for both of us, and will make you want to rail against the machine (hell yeah).

It's about time we talk about aging. First, I talk about Nikki Glaser's recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and react to her apparent plan to get a facelift at age 40, as well as other comments she has made about aging and her lifelong insecurities. Then, I talk about my love of skincare and the potential it has to slow down signs of aging (and whether that is even something we SHOULD strive for)! I talk about my recent exploration of Retinol, and bring in the founder of Dieux Skin, Charlotte Palermino, to give a thorough Retinol rundown, including tips, tricks, and product recommendations! See below for links to Charlotte's suggested retinol products for beginners and intermediates.

We got a spicy one today! Longtime friend of the show, Megan Ixim, is finally back to share her Bone to Pick with the men who leave nasty comments on her IG all day every day, and can't seem to admit to themselves how utterly obsessed they are with fat women. Not only is this a hilarious conversation, but also a window into human psychology and internet algorithms. Enjoy!

This episode is all about CHOCOLATE! I discuss my long-term relationship to sweets and how I incorporate sweets into my day while still maintaining a well-balanced diet of nutritious and satisfying meals - I even drop a couple simple recipes for my fellow sweets people! Then, I have a conversation with Alysha Kropf of Ecole Chocolat Professional School of Chocolate Arts, where they will teach you how to be a real-life Willy Wonka if you so desire! We nerd out about chocolate, bust some chocolate myths, and explore what makes chocolate so magical to both kids and adults. Prepare for some imminent chocolate cravings after listening to this one!

For this special Thursday episode, I invited my friend Erica on the pod for "I Have a Bone to Pick". We both have had a bone to pick with the women's fitting room experience for quite some time, but the most egregious one of all is, hands down, the fitting rooms in the women's clothing store Aritzia. This is perhaps the most niche Bone to Pick yet, but the girls who get it are gonna GET IT. Listen to us air our grievances with Aritzia, as well as other annoyances such as boyfriends being allowed in women's retail stores, the fact that all our clothes are made of plastic, and our traumatic high school memories of shopping at Forever 21 with our teeny tiny friends. This is a fun, unserious Bone to Pick for our fellow women who are SICK of the in-person shopping experience, particularly at "cool girl" stores that make you feel like overpriced garbage.

On this episode, I'm talking about GLP-1s and the icky way they are being promoted and sold to us under the banner of Wellness. I also talk about THAT Hims and Hers commercial that aired during the Superbowl and the ass-backwards messaging that we can't seem to escape. For today's conversation, I invited Dr. Erin Parks, clinical psychologist and co-founder of Equip, to discuss the impact of GLP-1 marketing on both people in larger bodies and people suffering from Eating Disorders. Once again, we never want to demonize anyone for taking any medication, but rather shed light on those who might be negatively impacted by the culture surrounding it.

A few corrections on the content of this episode:

Erin was correct that there was an elderly couple in "Titanic" who decided to go down with the ship holding hands. This was based on a real couple who made this decision in order to allow others to be rescued, since they were both quite old. It was truly a heroic act of self-sacrifice. (Source: Today)

Erin quoted the Hims and Hers commercial as saying "75% of Americans are overweight," and I had remembered it as 76%. Turns out, we were both incorrect. The commercial said 74%. In any case, it's pretty irrelevant, since the statistic is bullshit.

On this Thursday episode, I invited my friend and hilarious comedian Tracey Carnazzo on the podcast for "I Have a Bone to Pick." Tracey has a bone to pick with the societal pressure to "fix your face" with botox, fillers, and other cosmetic procedures. When did it stop being okay to have your own unique face? If you want more, Tracey will also join me for this week's bonus episode on the RIP Diets Patreon, where we'll play Eat It or Beat It and talk even more shit.

On today's episode, I seek to answer the question "What if I tried Intuitive Eating and it didn't work for me?" With the help of Binge Eating Recovery and Body Image Coach, Stefanie Michele, I attempt to better understand why Intuitive Eating doesn't "click" with certain people, and the most common things that get in the way when trying to heal your relationship with food. This conversation was pretty eye opening for me and made me recognize some patterns within myself that I had not thought too deeply about before. This is the perfect episode for anyone who's interested in Intuitive Eating, but doesn't feel like they are quite "there" yet!

Welcome to the season premiere of RIP Diets! In this episode, I talk about the American obsession with French women, particularly with the way they eat and exercise. Then, I have a conversation with my new French friend Lucile who gives me an inside look into the food culture of France, and answers all my burning questions. Do French people really eat all that bread, or is the "traditional French breakfast" actually just coffee and a cigarette? This episode explores what we could learn from the French attitude toward food, movement, bodies, and wellness... and if there's anything THEY could learn from US.

Find Lucile on YouTube by searching "Lucile France"!
