The mindful dietitian podcast
This show hosts dietitians from all over the world who are experts in body inclusivity, Health At Every Size, the Non Diet Approach and Mindfulness-based practice.
The Eating Disorder Recovery podcast
“The show is for anyone who would like to learn more about the psychology of eating disorders, make peace with food, improve their body image, and live authentically.”
Food Psych podcast
“In each episode, I talk with inspiring guests—including health and psychology professionals, anti-diet activists, and leaders in the body-liberation movement—about their relationships with food, paths to body-image healing and fat acceptance, and experiences of recovery from weight stigma and eating disorders. This podcast calls out diet culture for the life thief that it is, and challenges it in all its sneaky forms—including the restrictive behaviors that often masquerade as wellness and fitness.”
Body kindness podcast
“In this podcast I talk to people from all walks of life about their journey to a better wellbeing. From food to family to sex, you never know what will come up in an episode.”
