Thank you Summer for this podcast! It brings so much clarity and it’s a great reminder to see my value beyond the size of my jeans.

I’m so glad I found this podcast and I’ve shared with my best friends. We are 40+ and just need to hear about this as we journey through life. I also like to share tidbits I learn with my kids, esp my daughters. Hoping this next generation doesn’t have as much trauma and baggage about their own...Read full review »

This review has been a long time coming. I have been listening to Summer’s podcast since April. It has played a huge part in my recovery from disordered eating. I am privileged to have health insurance and a team of anti-diet professionals that I work with in my treatment. If not, I would have...Read full review »

Been listening to Summer for a few months now and she has helped me so much. Love how she discusses how we got here, as women (our worth being based on appearance, historically). Helps me understand why my own mother cares so much about her weight. Now that I have a daughter of my own, I am very...Read full review »

WOW. I found this podcast just when I needed it the most. I struggle daily with body image issues & feeling inadequate because of my physical appearance. Every single episode gets me one inch closer to body acceptance, and I am so thankful I found this podcast. Summer, you are amazing. Keep...Read full review »

After decades of disordered eating, I discovered Initiative Eating. At first, I reveled in relief about not dieting anymore. It didn’t take long, however, for consolation to turn into confusion. I was flailing in fear until I discovered this podcast. Summer was the first voice I heard in this new...Read full review »

I really love this podcast - it reminds me that I’m not alone in my struggles and provides tangible next steps that are helping me live a better, fuller life.
gmorgan201 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/23
Very interesting and helpful podcast, reframing ways I’ve been conditioned to think about myself and my worth. Summer’s kind and thoughtful words are helping me on my path to accepting my middle aged body and to see that it is society and its messaging that needs to change- not me!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for at least 2 years. It helped me deal with my anxiety around food and weight. Instead of restricting there was a time when I would listen to Summer every day….sometimes a few times a day. Or when I had anxiety during the night her voice and message soothed...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast during a really difficult time of struggling with orthorexic eating habits and weight gain, and she made me feel so loved, comforted, and held as I navigated this change to break up with diet culture, explore body neutrality and weight gain. I really appreciate her...Read full review »

Awesome cast. Summer talks to a wide variety of folx and understands that debunking diets also means dismantling fatphobia. Nice to see straight sized allys!
LanaMeow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/22
So I’ve been thinking about starting my own podcast (in Polish) for about 2 years now. But I don’t think I will since what Summer is doing is the exact thing I would do: a perfect mix of interviews with experts and her own knowledge put together in a way that leaves you wanting more. Which is...Read full review »
Kisiel via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 10/31/22
My nutritionist recommended one episode about body image and then I couldn’t stop listening to the rest of the series. Summer is insightful and real. She gets IT. I’ve loved every episode and I love her posts on Instagram, too. She’s explains things in easy to understand ways but gets into the...Read full review »

I have been working on these concepts for a long time now and this podcast really helps me maintain what I am working towards and is a good reminder about why I'm doing the work that I'm doing. It is a very important encouragement in my life to keep going. I highly recommend this podcast...Read full review »

Awesome podcast explaining things in such a fab way and making me think differently about myself!

Thanks for this amazing Podcast. I love listening and learning.
_edenhope_ via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/26/22
When I think of all the time I have spent listening to negative self talk & feeling bad about myself, changing the narrative seems overwhelming. Eat the rules leads by example. This podcast gives me insight into how I got here & how to battle against unrealistic body standards.
Jrojasnd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
Great podcast! This has helped me in this journey of getting comfortable with my body so much. Keep it up!
LatinCan via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/26/22
Summer and her guests offer visions of body liberation and finding peace within our own bodies. She fights diet culture and the body shame it foments with compassion, wit and facts.
angeline the tangerine queen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/22
Variety of knowledgeable guests if you’re new to this or been on this journey for years. I enjoy the different guests and hearing from people in the movement who I was not as familiar with before

This is a great show with an amazing host and a powerful mission. Every episode teaches us something new about our bodies & body awareness. Thank you for the work you do!
valtergo via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 10/24/22
This is such a good podcast with wonderful resources and tips for developing healthy body image. The episode about mirror checking hit home HARD for me. Made me feel less alone!
Julia LF 91 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/22
Was told to tune into the superwoman podcast and have already sent it to friends and listened again to mirroring. Love how informative it is and practical. I’m hooked!
mem918 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/22
Summer’s podcast is chock full of grounded advice and steps anyone can take to be more comfortable in their body. She is my go to resource for body image, anti-dieting and a thoughtful intersectional feminist perspective. She is like the wise sister I never had and always wanted! Just love her...Read full review »

I’ve listened to Eat the Rules since before it was called Eat the Rules! I think what’s great about this show - and about Summer Innanen - is the balance of expertise and curiosity. Summer is very good at coaching about body image psychology and displays her knowledge with confidence and...Read full review »

I appreciate this podcast so much. It’s smart and funny with great interviews and impeccable research. Summer knows her stuff and makes it accessible for any listener. Never fails to get me thinking.
bibiologist123 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/05/22
I’ve known about this way of thinking for some time now, but Summer puts it all in such a way that makes total sense. She has been able to answer all of my questions and erase all of my doubts about no dieting, body image, and intuitive eating. I know she has forever changed me. I wish I would...Read full review »

I have been working on my body image for a while. It’s still sometimes gets ahold of me and I find Summer’s tone and info really helpful in my continuing journey to live me as I am.
healthyfitlifejh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/22
As an eating disorder HAES dietitian, I love this podcast for myself and clients! I love love love the body image series- the short, concise AND tangible episodes. Thanks for sharing these important messages!
ivorytheRD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/22
I listened to episode #225 and was hoping to find a podcast to help me feel more comfortable in my skin and learn about healthy relationship habits and was wildly disappointed with how Summer and Vinny went about this episode. They discuss an episode of JVN’s show that has a “food addiction...Read full review »

Thank you so much. Your podcast has introduced me to so many new concepts and ideas as well as new speakers/ activists. Your conversations are enlightening and encouraging. I’m so grateful for the work you do. It has helped to open up an entire new world of self acceptance for myself. Thank you!
Athenalillies via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/22
No offense but why the huge lead in!? Can’t we just get to the content?
Afabulous50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/22
Love this show! Summer shares her wisdom and lived experience with honesty and humor while giving you a healthy dose of what it takes to move beyond eating disorders or disordered eating and embrace the joy in life again. Definitely a must listen!!
soap_a_pilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/22
From the bottom of my belly, thank you. I am only a few episodes into this podcast but it is already beginning to effect me and my body positively. I feel heard without ever having a communication with you or your guests. Keep up the inspiring, connective work you’re doing x

Absolutely loving the Death to Diet series! It’s so impactful to open up and have these conversations. Life changing.
BingeRecoveryAttempt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/22
I’ve known for awhile body acceptance was a key step to my evolutionary journey and figured a decent podcast might help get me there. I happened upon your podcast and have been listening daily for about a month. It’s been wonderful! I can already feel the shift in the way I think about my body...Read full review »

I found Summer’s podcast a couple month ago and have binged my way through most. So many of them I sent to my husband, as I found them so insightful in many areas of our lives. He has found them so helpful in understanding me, society, and how we can work to give our children a better view of life.
LisaA09 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/22
After 51 years of dieting, I finally just couldn’t do it anymore. Summer helped me understand that I was not the reason none of these diets had ever worked long term, but, rather I had been sold so many false promises over the years. More importantly, this podcast has helped me become more “body...Read full review »

I started listening to Eat the Rules last year and it truly is my favourite podcast. I have especially loved the recent movement series which is something I have struggled with in the past. There are so many “yes!” moments when I’m listening and I sometimes find I’m laughing out loud too as...Read full review »

Thank you Summer for being such an important component of my recovery. To know that I am not alone on this journey has been one of the greatest gifts of your podcast. Thank you for your encouraging and reassuring words. Much love to you Summer!

Thank god for this podcast!!! I found you at a time when my support has disappeared and I’m treading water!

Bonnie Roney is much better. This is virtue signaling and phony. Summer tries too hard to be woke.
Kitten Michelle B via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/21
I’m here as a counselor listening to these podcasts for myself, my daughter, and my clients. I LOVE her research-based, humanistic approach to how to work with yourself in the body you’re in! She is so well-spoken, informed on social issues including race and privilege, and she really understands...Read full review »

I first discovered Summer about 8 years ago and instantly fell in love. I love her raw, honest approach and I have learnt so much from her. I stopped listening to podcasts for a little while due to the busyness of life but with the covid lockdown and all the extra time I now have due to losing my...Read full review »

Fantastic podcast! I always listen to Summer’s podcasts in the morning when I am doing my makeup and she makes me feel like I can face anything! I have recommended this to so many of my female friends.

I have been recovering from an Eating Disorder for over 2 years. I love this podcast and have recommended it to several friends, and even my ED therapist!

Down to earth and a talent at discussing the hard things whilst balancing with humour as needed. Summer shares incredible insights into the freedom from diet culture. Discusses body image, and the roles that society play and people’s experiences of society in this arena. It is enlightening!
