Today's conversation is with author and host of the podcast Food Psych, Christy Harrison. In this conversation we cover the connection between the current pandemic and eating disorders/body image, where she is currently with body image and eating, diet culture, what she coined as the "wellness diet," and how dieting is what she calls a "life thief".
This is actually the FOURTH podcast I've recorded with Christy and I know for a fact it won't be the last. Christy is a nutritionist who runs a private practice where she specializes is eating disorder recovery and Health At Every Size (HAES). Through her amazing podcast Food Psych where she gets to know a diverse group of guests through the lens of their relationship with food and their bodies.
Christy Harrison talks to everyone from comedians, to actors, to chefs about their relationship to food and weird food habits on her own podcast. It has showed me that I'm not alone when it comes to my weirdness around food and that most people have at least some funky food tendencies. Christy has a background as a food journalist as well as a registered dietitian and nutritionist.
