It’s finally here! The episode about intuitive eating (IE) has arrived! Hopefully this episode gives some clarification on what IE actually is and the benefits that are likely to result from adopting this approach. I also get to speak to Madi West, a friend of mine, research nutritionist and advocate for IE. She shares her journey to adopting IE and we discuss its fundamental concepts. ENJOY!

THIS IS A MAJOR EPISODE! I speak about the roots of fatphobia and explain how size discrimination is in fact a social justice issue. My sister, Angela Payne, also joins me to discuss how body size (among other beauty ideals) and diet culture entwine with feminism. We are asking the tough questions and want this episode to start or continue this important conversation. Instagram accounts to follow: yrfatfriend, stephanieyeboah, iweigh, nicolebyer, tessholliday, ashleygraham, roxanegay, florencegiven, bodzilla and virgietovar. ALSO I highly recommend reading Anti-Diet by Christy Harrison, the book that efficiently educated me on the roots of fatphobia. ENJOY!

This episode is really looking into the benefits of exercise/physical activity/movement regardless of weight and how using it solely to alter appearance, as a weight control tool and as a compensatory behaviour for eating is to our detriment. I chat to a friend of mine, Alycia Maher, who is a sports lover, fitness enthusiast and challenge seeker! Alycia’s changing relationship with food and body on the background of her love for exercise was really interesting to hear. ENJOY!

ENJOY!

It's time I talk about what the Health At Every Size paradigm actually means and its application in a healthcare setting! It's definitely worth a listen because it will hopefully clear up any negative misconceptions around this paradigm. I also have a very personal and powerful chat to another good friend of mine, Emily Craw, who shares her experience with weight stigma and weight bias in a healthcare setting. Oh and YEP diet culture continues to be a running theme. ENJOY! Health at Every Size is a trademark of the Association for Size Diversity and Health and used with permission.

I have another guest and good friend of mine on this episode, Murraya Lane, who shares her experience with diet culture and her thoughts on weight control. ENJOY!

A mini episode to kick things off. In this episode I talk about how I ended up being a non-diet dietitian, what the term diet culture actually means and how it leads to the diet mentality. I reveal just how much diet culture has infiltrated so many aspects of our lives and how it presents itself in many different forms. ENJOY!
