Episode 20 - Anna Marie - Diet culture, mums body image, and weight loss drugs.

Anna, a nutritionist and PhD candidate, discussed her work with individuals struggling with disordered eating, emphasising a psychological approach that combines mindfulness and nutrition.

The conversation explored the impact of diet culture on emotional eating, the challenges mothers face with body image, and the complexities of weight loss drugs and quick fixes.

We both emphasised the importance of developing a sustainable relationship with food, managing overwhelm, and taking time to process thoughts and feelings to address underlying issues rather than relying on temporary solutions.
