Toxic Diet Culture is all around us, and today we’re going to talk about it. Our relationship with food and with our bodies is fraught, but unlike drugs or alcohol, we have to recreate that relationship and make peace with the ongoing changes in our bodies. Joining us in conversation today is Lauren Dorman, a registered dietician with over 20 years of experience behind her. Tune in today to hear Lauren’s perspective on what diet culture actually is, and why you should choose self-care instead of restriction. While recognizing that food guilt is a part of our conditioning, she offers us practical alternatives to change our attitudes and benefit our digestion! Hear the real reason most diets don’t work, how you can be a better parent by teaching your children good habits, and what you can gain from scheduling two appointments per year with an anti-diet registered dietician. Join us as we talk mindset shifts, and Lauren introduces us to five ways to eat from a place of self care instead of restriction. Thanks for tuning in to hear all this and more today!

- How awareness empowers you to make better decisions.
“The main reason diets don’t work is not because a person failed, not because they didn’t have the motivation or the willpower, it’s because your body wants and needs to be regularly fed throughout the day with enough energy.” — Lauren Dorman [0:12:10]
