ETR 216: Body Image Series: Will accepting my body make me unhealthy?

In this episode of Eat the Rules, I’m continuing the body image responding to the question “Will accepting my body make me unhealthy?”

I also explore how our culture has made us believe that being thinner is the only way to be healthy, and why health is multi-faceted.

In This Episode, I Talk About

That your health is your prerogative and much of it is not actually within your control,
How we’ve lost touch of what is good for us in the pursuit of weight loss by blending weight and health together,
How diet culture is a disservice to our mental and physical health,
How the anti-diet message often gets interpreted as being anti-health, when it’s about finding what’s best for your body and doing things from a place of self-care,
Why this message actually makes us more stressed and results in a poorer body image,
What the research says about body image and health,
That if we’re hating our body, we have a higher likelihood of developing an eating disorder,
That psychological stress has the same impact on our body as emotional stress,
How health is improved by behaviours, not outcomes,
How having a positive body image leads to a higher likelihood of engaging in health promoting behaviours,
That your health does not define your value in this world,
Plus so much more!
