#20: 2025: An Anti-Diet New Year
Manage episode 458324181 series 3563959
Happy New Year! Join host Emily LaVoie, a certified eating psychology coach, in this special New Year's Eve episode of Make Peace With Food. Emily reflects on the seasonal slowdown that winter brings and challenges the diet culture narrative that being less active is inherently "bad." Instead, she encourages listeners to embrace this time for rest and relaxation as a natural and healthy part of the year.
As we wrap up the holiday season, Emily dives into the pervasive diet culture messages that often dominate this time of year—weight loss ads, detox claims, and new "health" trends that are often veiled attempts to sell weight loss products. She dissects popular trends like cleanses, detoxes, gut health supplements, and the obsession with blood sugar regulation, highlighting their ties to diet culture and the commercial motivations behind them.
Emily also provides refreshing perspectives on setting New Year's resolutions that are not rooted in diet culture or the pursuit of weight loss. From engaging in joyful movement and drinking more water to focusing on sleep and fiber intake, she offers practical, health-promoting behaviors that can enhance well-being without the pressure of weight loss.
Tune in to explore ways you can step into the new year with self-love, self-compassion, and a commitment to disengage from harmful diet culture messages. Let's make 2025 the year we prioritize intuitive eating, weight-neutral health, and genuine self-care.
