Episode 14: How Do We Peace Out of Diet Culture?

 Dr. Janys interviews Registered Dietitian Brandi Olden. Brandi is the owner of Creating Peace with Food, and has 20 years of experience helping grown ups and young people heal from disordered eating. Brandi and Janys discuss the historical, cultural, and racial aspects of diet culture, and how neither of us learned about this in graduate school. They also describe the intersection between attachment, eating disorders, and weight bias. Brandi introduces listeners to the diet culture timeline, and shares about her upcoming course, Body Image: a Parents Guide to Embodiment. This episode will give you a better understanding of where diet culture comes from.  Here is an introduction to how to peace out of diet culture, and instead move towards empowered eating and accepting bodies of all sizes.
