Balance Health Now Sydney Torres

Host Sydney Torres, alongside guest Jenna Talleda explores the challenges and misconceptions that people in larger bodies face within the healthcare system and society at large. This dialogue aims to empower listeners to redefine their approach to health, emphasizing well-being over weight.

Jenna Talleda, special guest and Sydney Torres discuss the following:



Critique of BMI and Conventional Health Metrics:


How BMI fails to account for individual differences in body composition and health, often leading to misjudgment and unnecessary stigmatization of people in larger bodies.


Principles of Intuitive Eating:


Jenna introduces the concept of intuitive eating, an approach that encourages individuals to listen to their bodies and eat based on internal cues of hunger and satiety rather than external diet rules and restrictions. This segment highlights how intuitive eating promotes a healthier relationship with food and can lead to better mental and physical health outcomes.


Addressing Societal Pressures and Diet Culture:


The discussion addresses the pervasive influence of diet culture on individuals' self-perception and health behaviors. Sydney and Jenna critique how societal pressures to conform to a certain body size not only distort personal health goals but also contribute to broader issues of body image, eating disorders, and mental health struggles.
