15. Diet Culture & DeviantArt ft. Alexis Wainwright | Intentional Oversharing with Neely

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses disordered eating, body image, and diet culture. In this episode of Intentional Oversharing, Neely talks with Alexis Wainwright, Director of Community Development at The Full Plate, about growing up in the peak of early-2000s diet culture, navigating disordered eating, and how neurodivergence complicated both of their relationships with food. They reflect on the pressures of that era and how those messages shaped their body image and coping behaviors. Alexis breaks down the principles of intuitive eating and shares how The Full Plate supports members in rebuilding trust with hunger cues, unlearning moralized food rules, and finding community without shame. They also explore sensory aversions, ARFID, and the relief of naming patterns that once felt isolating, closing with an inside look at how the community offers both free and low-cost support.
