156. Why Mainstream Weight Loss Diets Fail Women of Color

Today's topic is all about why we, as women of color (WOC) need different weight loss support than our white peers. In a white-centered health/fitness industry where diets and workouts are focused on tracking calories and being on this journey "alone" (aka individualism culture), this approach doesn't work for our cultural foods or the roles we play at home (aka collectivism culture). This is a reminder that you do not need to strip your cultural identity and who you are to succeed in weight loss. You've assimilated to Western culture enough your whole life in your career, there's no need to do the same in your weight loss journey. Tune in as I go over these topics and dive deeper into how women of color face racist systemic challenges when it comes to healthcare and how knowing your body better than anyone else helps you advocate for your health.
