Episode Description
Happy Satiated Saturday!
What if diet culture wasn't actually the "problem"?
Focusing on diet culture can become a distraction. It keeps the conversation circling around the same point—being controlled around our food choices is the problem, and we need to regain our experience of choice with food.
Yet, when all of our attention stays on food, we miss out on exploring the deeper layers of who we are, beyond what we eat. Staying locked in a battle with diet culture can distract us from stepping into our power.
In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with my dear friend and colleague, Abbie Attwood, Anti-diet Nutritionist, about:
- Understanding health and nutrition messaging
- The complexity of trusting ourselves and science
- Challenging the notion of control over health
- Distractions from systemic issues in health
- The impact of socioeconomic factors on food choices
- Enhancing your critical thinking skills in nutrition and media
