from Soulture · host Tim Doyle

Gina Bontempo breaks down how body positivity became a movement rooted in deception—and why its evolution into fat acceptance is more harmful than empowering. She exposes the addictive tactics of Big Food, the manipulation of language in media, and why eating more than ever is leaving people emptier than ever. From spiritual discipline to personal accountability, this conversation is a raw, unfiltered challenge to the narratives keeping people sick, stuck, and sedated.Timestamps:00:00 How Gina Got Exposed To Body Positivity04:48 Origin Of Body Positivity 09:05 The Shift In Acceptable Language 12:11 Food As An Addiction22:40 Correlations Between The Food & Tobacco Industries26:32 Body Positivity As A Variable Term35:15 Social Media Influencer Impact42:15 Obesity & Malnourishment 44:58 Fixing A Bad Relationship With Food49:30 Junk Food Withdrawal54:45 Spirituality & Food1:01:26 The Fear Factor1:04:26 Benefits Of Shame1:06:29 Connect With Gina BontempoSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.
