For me, the combination of all of those tools has been what has been so freeing, so liberating, so empowering, especially when I am, when I was transitioning into recovery as a lifetime binge eater.
Ever felt trapped by diet culture's relentless grip? Emily August, a Literature professor at Stockton University and a published poet, brings a refreshing perspective to food addiction recovery. With over five years of continuous abstinence from addictive eating, Emily challenges the conventional markers of recovery like weight loss and body size. Instead, she focuses on creating a more inclusive and accessible recovery path tailored to individual needs.
This episode of 'The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast' with host Florence Christophers dives deep into Emily's unique approach, which shuns oppressive diet-culture metrics in favor of a more holistic view. Emily discusses how to break free from diet culture, destigmatize abstinence, and embrace the inner work required for genuine recovery. She also highlights the importance of addressing ableism and embodiment within the recovery journey.
Rooted in a social justice framework, Emily's method aims to support those who feel left out by traditional food addiction and eating disorder recovery programs. Whether you're struggling with sugar addiction yourself or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to break free from the shackles of diet culture and find a healthier, more balanced way of living.
