    The Shocking History of Diet Culture

    New year, new me? Welcome to our expansive eight-part series deconstructing our relationships with body image. From the historical origins of diet culture, to the present day where injectable weight loss drugs are available from high street pharmacies, Alex and Em will strip back our assumptions about diet culture and body image, to find out how we got here, and how we can find a healthy way to look forward.  By speaking to a range of experts, from dieticians to fitness influencers - we’ll explore the damaging effects of tabloid media and weight loss TV shows, we will examine the phenomenon of the ‘Almond Mom’ and we will uncover diet culture’s ‘wellness’ rebrand - to equip our listeners with the knowledge and practical steps to navigate a world where diet culture lurks around every corner.  Today - we’re starting off by taking a look at the origins of diet culture, because to really get a sense of the magnitude of diet culture and the effects that it has had on our lives, we need to go back to its roots.   So, in this episode, we’re going back in time to the advent of diet culture, in the hope it helps us figure out how these debilitating body issues that burden so many women have come to be – and why… Is it all innate? Do we have a biological predisposition to desiring to be thin? Let’s dig in. If you want to dig further into diet culture, self-acceptance and making peace with your body - Alex’s book You Are Not A Before Picture is available now. You can buy your copy here!

    Alex’s IVF Journey

    Today, we’re going to talk about Alex’s IVF story.  After watching the new Netflix film JOY - Al was inspired to speak about her journey to having IVF, after having felt like it wasn’t something she was able to discuss online.  We go through the entire journey that has led to Tommy being with us here today - and we hope this conversation is helpful for anyone else who is experiencing something similar or who might not understand the complexity of IVF - and how amazing that it is that science enables us to do this.
