Introduction

This week we discuss the psychology of diet culture and how we can embrace our bodies in whatever form they come despite excessive societal pressure. We're going to talk about social approval, the impact on self-esteem, body dysmorphia and mental health amongst other things. This episode will include discussions and descriptions of disordered eating and diet culture. If this is something that is particularly triggering for you, I would just ask that you do a quick mental health check,. A quick check of your emotional stay at the moment and ask yourself whether this is something you need to listen to today. But if this issomething that is going to trigger you, maybe just sit this one out for a little while.
