Diet culture is a problematic beast and when you know how to spot it, you’ll start to see it everywhere. There are so many "aha" moments in this chat with Helen Bird, the Acting Head of Prevention at the Butterfly Foundation as she joins Dr Preeya to dissect diet culture - what it looks like, why it’s dangerous and how to combat it.  They chat about parenting (and the powerful practical things you can do every day to reduce the impact of diet culture on your children), diet culture in the wellness industry and personal experiences with the beast. *Please note this episode does not discuss eating disorders (that's a whole other conversation). Here we focus on diet culture and its impact. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.  If this episode raises any concerns for you please check in with a qualified health professional like your GP or psychologist.
