Beyond Diet Culture: A Conversation with Leslie Jordan Garcia on Race, Bodies, and Liberation

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful conversation, wellness practitioner and anti-diet educator Leslie Jordan Garcia (MPH, MBA) joins me to explore the deep connections between diet culture, racism, and body liberation. From personal experiences with eating disorders to profound insights about food systems and movement, Leslie shares how her journey informed her mission to help others heal and reclaim their power. We discuss the rebranding of diet culture, the impact of racial stereotypes on healthcare, and why true wellness must include dismantling systems of oppression.

She works with clients both locally in Austin, Texas, and worldwide through virtual sessions, offering movement coaching and partnership in liberation work. You can also find her on Instagram "shaking that moneymaker" and bringing joy to all who are fortunate enough to be in her orbit. Got a question for the next podcast?
