Eating Disorders, Diet Culture & Raising Healthy Kids | Dr Anna Colton | Ep 21 | Pharmacy Planet

In this important episode of The Lifestyle Prescription with Pharmacy Planet, host Rena Dipti Annobil sits down with Dr Anna Colton, Clinical Psychologist and Eating Disorder Specialist, to explore how our relationship with food, body image, and dieting shapes not only our own wellbeing — but the wellbeing of our children too.From eating disorders, diet culture, and body image pressures to GLP-1 weight loss jabs, social media influence, and food anxiety, this conversation tackles the growing challenges families face around food in modern life.Dr Anna shares both professional insight and personal experience, explaining how food is far more than fuel — it’s culture, joy, comfort, identity, and connection. Together, Rena and Dr Anna unpack how difficult relationships with food can be unintentionally passed down through generations, why restrictive dieting often backfires, and how parents can model healthier behaviours around eating without shame or fear.🎧 What This Episode Covers• Eating disorders and adolescent mental health• How parents influence children’s relationships with food• Food shame, guilt and emotional eating• Diet culture and intergenerational food messaging• Why BMI is flawed as a health measure• Puberty, body fat and teenage development• GLP-1 weight loss injections and social pressure• Social media, influencers and body image🔗 Guest Links👉 Dr Anna Colton – Clinical Psychologist & Eating Disorder Specialist🌐 www.dranna.co.uk📸 https://www.instagram.com/drannacolton/?hl=en-gb👉 Follow Rena Dipti Annobil📸 https://www.instagram.com/renadannobil/📸 https://www.instagram.com/sisterhoodofmummyimperfect/👉 Pharmacy Planet🌐 https://www.pharmacyplanet.com/📸 https://www.instagram.com/pharmacyplanetuk/🎧 Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1xs0BApZk55bgrQz7PN7VW#EatingDisorders #DietCulture #BodyImage#MentalHealth #Parenting #WomensHealth#IntuitiveEating #TeenMentalHealth #LifestylePrescription #PharmacyPlanet
