Today Sarah and Laura delve into the insidious and disconnecting ways in which diet culture infiltrates our lives. Laura guides us through an illuminating discussion on the impact of diet culture on our well-being and how we can start reclaim and turn toward ourselves, while turning away from diet culture.

To kickstart the episode, Laura shares her personal understanding of the phrase "Reclaim You" and its profound significance both in her own life and in her work with clients.

As the conversation unfolds Laura reflects on her initial encounter with the concept of diet culture and shares what stood out the most during her learning process. Sarah and Laura peel back the layers to expose the sneaky ways in which diet culture manifests in our everyday lives, often disguising harmful beliefs and behaviors as "normal" or desirable.

Empowering listeners to differentiate between self-care and diet culture, Laura offers valuable insights on how to recognize and challenge the influence of diet culture on our beliefs and behaviors. By reconnecting with our own wisdom, we can distinguish between practices that truly nourish our well-being and those that perpetuate harmful norms.

To end the episode, Sarah and Laura explore how our disconnection from ourselves, our values, and various aspects of our lives is intertwined with the pervasive influence of diet culture. They shed light on the profound impact this disconnection has on our relationship with food, the development of eating disorders or disordered eating, and our overall well-being.

Tune in as we unravel the complexities of diet culture and learn how to reclaim our true selves, foster self-compassion, and establish a healthier relationship with our bodies and food. Together, let's dismantle the insidious influence of diet culture and embark on a journey reconnection and liberation.
