Episode 25 Becoming Wildly Resilient: Dispelling Diet Culture
Vanessa Oliver, a registered dietitian and nutritionist with UK HR Health and Wellness, returns to the podcast to talk about diet culture. As a certified Intuitive Eating counselor, Vanessa shares how this framework contributes to our resilience. Listen as she and host Jakob Hester discuss what diet culture is and why it is problematic for our overall well-being; how diet culture has disguised itself as wellness culture; what it means to have an anti-diet mindset; and ways we can overcome and dismantle diet culture when we're on an anti-diet path.
