DIET CULTURE IS BS!: A Kandid Chat on Healthy Food Relationships w/ Dr. Trina Dorrah

Shoot Me A Message!

On this episode, I had the chance to sit down for a much-needed chat about food freedom and our relationship with food, with an amazing guest.

Dr. Trina Dorrah is a physician, binge-eating coach, and the host of the popular podcast "Diet Culture is BS.

Key Stats:

According to the World Health Organization, worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, with more than 1.9 billion adults 18 years and older being overweight and over 650 million being "obese" in 2016.

Key Takeaways:

• Obesity is preventable.
• Overeating can be a coping mechanism for unprocessed emotions.
• Restrictive attitudes towards food can cause overeating when certain foods are labelled as "bad" or "forbidden."
• Yo-yo dieting can lead to a long-term upward trajectory in weight and increase the risks of disease and mortality.
• Listen to your body's cues and feed it when biologically hungry
• Demanding professions, like medicine, can cause high stress and burnout, leading to disordered eating habits among physicians and other professionals.
• Children who are put on diets may develop a problematic relationship with food that persists into adulthood.
• The focus should be on improving the relationship with food and having "food freedom" to enjoy eating without obsessing over it.

Help is available for those struggling with overeating or a problematic relationship with food, and it's not found in diets. Stay tuned and enjoy!
