This week I spoke to Christy Harrison, MPH, RD, who, in addition to being my close friend of over a decade, is someone whose work has significantly impacted me. As a journalist she’s covered food, nutrition, and health for more than 20 years. She's also a clinician working with people as a registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in eating disorders. Her writing has appeared everywhere from New York Times to the Food Network, and she's written two books: 2019's Anti-Diet and her latest, The Wellness Trap. We talked about how she’s handling the praise and criticism of a large platform, what well-being practices she does participate in, and in a clip from an interview I did with her on her new show Rethinking Wellness we talk about how my episode on her first show, Food Psych, where we talked about orthorexia was one of the early influences for this new book. We cover some topics it including the history of the hysteria diagnosis, and much more.Show Notes:- My interview with Christy on well-being > wellness- Find Christy on the Web | Instagram- Christy's podcasts: Rethinking Wellness & Food Psych- Christy's books: The Wellness Trap  & Anti-Diet - Sign up for Jésabel's (last week's guest) and my Life Audit Workshop- Find me: @letitouttt or I'm @katiedalebout- The Podcast Kit is 50% off with code SPRING - Our newsletter to get show notes + essays by me, recs, etc.- A few spots in the Creative Clinic: more info here or email me (katie@letitouttt.com) : ) - For book recs, our bookshelf here - and I made a shop  with recs ...with shelves for guests - The Let It Out Kits: are self-study workshops for personal growing based on all I've ever learned and am learning. Thanks so much for listening to this podcast. If you liked this episode, try out:Episode 369: Seasons of Overwhelm with Christy Harrison (Part 1)Episode 354: Don't Let It Get You Down with Savala Nolan (Part 1)
