In this episode, we are joined by fellow anti-diet dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Christy Harrison! In this episode, we discuss

• Christy’s food and body story
• How an innocent pursuit of wellness can quickly lead to disordered eating
• How wellness culture kicked diet culture out of the mainstream spotlight
• The “care effect” as a possible explanation as to why some people claim that wellness interventions “work” 
• The role of wellness in creating stigma around using medications for mental health support
• Christy’s take on whether or not we should avoid alternative medicine approaches altogether 
• Why Christy can’t stand the cultural obsession with gut health
