Dismantling Diet Culture: Reclaiming Body Trust with Liv and Tiffany

Every time we tell our bodies, or we get the message that our bodies are wrong, we break trust and connection with our bodies.
Ever felt the pressure to fit into society's narrow definition of 'ideal' body? Liv and Tiffany are here to challenge those harmful norms in this eye-opening episode of 'Breaking Free: Your Recovery. Your Way.' They tackle the insidious nature of diet culture, a term that describes the relentless societal push to conform to specific body standards and eating habits.
This pressure doesn't just affect a few; it's a pervasive issue impacting everyone, but especially women, trans folks, people of color, and those with disabilities. Liv and Tiffany break down how diet culture damages our relationship with our bodies, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, and unworthiness. Social media and advertising play significant roles in perpetuating these harmful messages, often resulting in restrictive eating and over-exercising. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.
The hosts offer practical advice on how to reject diet culture and start building a healthier relationship with your body. They introduce resources like intuitive eating and body positivity coaches who embrace the Health at Every Size movement. Liv and Tiffany emphasize the importance of self-compassion and awareness as tools to combat these damaging societal pressures. They remind us that every time we criticize our bodies, we weaken our trust and connection with them.
It's time to break free from these harmful norms and start celebrating our bodies for what they are. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, encouragement, and actionable steps to reclaim your body trust.
