    Your Diet Sucks - The Harms of Eating Disorder Myths

    ⁠⁠Find Your Diet Sucks wherever you get your podcasts!⁠ At least 30 million Americans have an eating disorder, but only 1 in 10 people gets the treatment they need. Why? Kylee and Zoë debunk common myths about eating disorders, from who they affect to how they’re treated. We dive into the history of eating disorders and how common misbeliefs about mental illness shape their treatment today. We examine how weight stigma impacts treatment and why so many EDs are considered “atypical.” Then, we offer some practical solutions for fixing a f*cked-up system by debunking common misconceptions.

    Your Diet Sucks - Alcohol and Athletics

    ⁠Find Your Diet Sucks wherever you get your podcasts!⁠ In this episode, Kylee and Zoë explore the complicated history that humans have with alcohol and athletics. We dive into the deep past (shoutout to our simian ancestors!) and see why scientists think humans developed a taste for something that seems counterproductive to passing on our genes (looking at you, Smirnoff blue raspberry). We try to parse out why alcohol is so closely tied to endurance sports and take a deep dive into what the research says about this substance (spoiler alert: three shots of whiskey do NOT make you better at running on a treadmill.)
