"Diet culture is rife in our society and we've normalised disordered eating to an extent." Dr Stephanie Damanio

Are educators the key to unlocking lifelong healthy relationships with food and body image?

In this important conversation, Meg Durham speaks with Dr Stephanie Damiano, a psychology researcher and expert in body image development. She's dedicated to understanding the development of body image in young children and the pivotal role educators and parents play in addressing these issues early on.

The two discuss what disordered eating is, the normalization of disordered eating and the importance of debunking myths surrounding body size and health. You'll leave the conversation inspired to prioritize your mental and physical wellbeing by focusing on health-promoting behaviours rather than societal ideals. Tune in to gain insights into fostering a positive relationship with food and body for the benefit of all.
