Trigger Warning: this recording mentions the terms ob*se/ob*sity, eating disorders/disordered eating, weight and BMI. The word ‘fat’ is used as a neutral descriptor and very much in the spirit of fat positivity and fat acceptance.
We're here with Season 2! Kicking it off we spoke to Jessica Cadbury who is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor & HAES Nutritional Therapist. She gave us the rundown on how harmful diets really are, what it means to be healthy at every size, and how inaccurate the BMI scale really is. Not to be missed!
