Listen Later

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
