Yet, more than professional experience, her personal experience with a decade-long eating disorder and postpartum depression after her daughter was born most informs her clinical practice and online platform. In this episode on Depression to Expression, Scott and Dr. Reinold discuss the role of food in our culture and mental health. Is fat acceptance moving us in a positive direction towards body image? Should we be advocating for only health rather than size? Does our weight determine our health? These are just a few of the topics we will be tackling in this free flow conversation.
