“This is a topic close to my heart and I am grateful to Emily for covering it. I am giving it 5 stars because there is so much stigma related to the subject, and bringing awareness to it is the first step. Defining a human’s identity by their weight or what they eat is ingrained in our culture, and this leads to mental and physical illness. I suspect that some of interviewees in this podcast were suffering from disordered eating and/or eating disorders, given how much food or the lack thereof consumed their lives. Putting food in a lock box may be effective, but it is a difficult way to live. There are so many undiagnosed eating disorders because they are often mistaken with “healthy eating”. Eating disorders can be deadly, and they are affecting even elementary school children. As a culture, we need to change the way we speak about food and weight for the next generation.
Emily, please do a follow up series on eating disorders!
I have a story to share about Weight Watchers. I am the former founder and owner of a wellness center dedicated to helping people with body image issues, disordered eating and eating disorders. I also teach yoga for recovery from eating disorders, and at my wellness center I taught a free community class. One evening, a woman came to class and told me that she had just come from Weight Watchers. She said that she had injured herself while running and had put on 10 pounds. I looked at her in shock because she was extremely thin. She told me how she has struggled with an eating disorder for many years. I could not believe that Weight Watchers would accept her into their program…AND they said that if she lost the 10 pounds and kept it off for a certain time period she could have a lifetime membership. She said it was cheaper than a nutritionist. She came to my class that one night and never came back. This woman was a school nurse at one of our local high schools.”

“The content of this show is great. However, I need to fast forward whenever reporter Kristen Brown speaks. Which is unfortunate, as I believe this reporter has very interesting things to say. But the affected voice (is that what “vocal fry” is?) is too much to bear. I may need to unsubscribe.”
