89. How Is Diet Culture Unconsciously Controlling Your Life? w/ Chrissy King

If you've ever blamed yourself for failing to achieve a certain "ideal body", and you've felt an incredible amount of pressure to lose weight in order to fit into society (which has only lead you down a path of yo-yo dieting, body dissatisfaction and pain), you're not alone. 

In this episode, you're getting a masterclass on the diet culture : how it was created, why it exists, and the profound impact on our body image, physical health and emotional well-being. 

We're joined today by Chrissy King ; writer, speaker, strength coach, educator and author of the Body Liberation Project: How Understanding Racism and Diet Culture Helps Cultivate Joy and Build Collective Freedom. 

Chrissy merges her passion for Social Justice and her passion for fitness to empower individuals within the fitness and wellness industry to create spaces that allow individuals from all backgrounds to feel seen, welcome, respected, and celebrated.

In this episode, you're going to learn:

• What "body liberation" means, and why it's different from "body love"
• How we can learn to love and appreciate our bodies in all its iterations through life 
• The systems of oppression, including diet culture, that have been put in place in our society to keep people down, marginalized and quiet 
• What really is diet culture, and where does it come from?
• The ways you're holding yourself back from achieving your highest potential
• Actionable strategies to achieve body liberation & freedom
