In this episode we talk about diet culture. We define what it means in the world as well as what it means to us as a podcast. We then dive into how to navigate diet culture with family and friends, how to change the conversation, we share what you can do to change your world from a social media, film & TV perspective so you can open your mind to a new way of being and unsubscribe to societal pressures. Finally we touch upon how diet culture is viewed in the medical community and how you can advocate for yourself at the doctors office.
Definition: Diet culture is the pervasive belief that appearance and body shape are more important than physical, psychological, and general well-being. It's the idea that controlling your body, particularly your diet—by limiting what and how much you eat—is normal. (from verywellfit.com)
