Show Notes
New year, new you? Before you get sucked into a health kick, listen to this episode first! Wellness culture is the new diet culture and as you might expect it’s in full swing this January. In this episode, we share our own experiences with orthorexia, wellness culture & disordered eating. Including some tales of fancy gadgets, protein balls, obsession with popular wellness bloggers, and milking almonds before work!
Health and wellness culture perpetuates food and body shame and isn’t accessible or sustainable for the vast majority of us. It often takes us away from simple health-promoting behaviours. We dive into all of it in this episode so that you can go into 2023 with your eyes wide open.
We could have talked for hours, we crammed in some hilarious stories as well as our usual support and advice for those of you navigating wellness culture this January.
