On this episode Hilary, Dana, and Sirius discuss what it really means to be “embodied,” aiming to rescue the term from being used as a prescriptive “should”. They frame embodiment as a quality of presence and a spectrum of positive to negative experiences, not a 24/7 state, and connect disembodiment to dominant culture, control, and mistrust of bodily knowing, including diet culture and objectification. Drawing on Niva Piran’s research, they outline five dimensions of embodiment, highlighting how social location shapes embodiment and how equitable community and affinity spaces support reconnection.

Dana, Hilary, and Sirius are joined by eating disorder dietitian Anna Sweeney (Dietitian Anna) to discuss chronic illness, eating disorders and wellness grifters.

Anna shares her path into dietetics, and the professional unlearning and repair involved in her work. The conversation explores body grief, disability and ableism and feeling betrayed by the body. Anna critiques wellness grifters, “root cause” marketing, anti-inflammatory cure diets, and current GLP-1 weight-loss culture, linking these to capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. She describes her course Chronically Nourished, focused on ending outsourced body wisdom and building body relationship.
