🎙️ Episode 42: Diet Culture Isn’t Real Health

Diet culture is louder than ever — especially on social media — and it’s shaping how many people think about food, exercise, and their bodies without even realizing it. In this episode, we’re talking about why restriction is often mistaken for discipline, how under-fueling affects both physical and mental health, and what it really looks like to step away from diet culture and build sustainable habits instead.

Real health isn’t built through extremes — it’s built through nourishment, consistency, and trust.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why diet culture messaging is so powerful (and harmful)
• How social media normalizes restriction
• The connection between chronic restriction and disordered eating patterns
• Why nourishment — not control — supports long-term health
• How habit-based health creates stability and sustainability
• What it looks like to support your body instead of fighting it
