What an episode.
Katherine is an anti-diet culture dietitian and Founder and CEO of Brave Space Nutrition. Her areas of focus are perfectionists, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, perimenopause and menopause, eating disorders, disordered eating, body image and women's health! WOW!
She is also a TikTok and Youtube sensation and wholeheartedly believes NOOM is a diet. (Sorry, not sorry NOOM).
We chat about navigating our bodies changing as we age, especially after an eating disorder. We chat about ways to heal our body image and the importance of self-compassion when it comes to how we feel about our bodies and how we eat and move. Should we also embrace our rage? Should we get angry about being made to feel less than or that our bodies need fixing?
(Katherine references the book 'Rage Becomes Her' by Soraya Chemaly.
Available to buy here.)
Katherine speaks to the origin of diet culture, with its roots in rascism, misogyny, ableism and with its prevalence in today's society.
Can we really make a difference or are we just destined to be swimming upstream for the rest of our lives?
Tune in. It's a fantastic episode.
