Meet Our Guest

We had the amazing Christy Harrison, an anti-diet registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, and the host of Food Psych Podcast, on the podcast to talk through why diets and detoxes can do more harm than good. It was such an illuminating conversation!

Learn How to Start an Anti-Diet

Christy is so well-versed in intuitive eating and we loved the conversation we had with her. She had so many wonderful tips for disengaging from the diet marketing and hype that’s flooding our lives right now. Definitely take a listen to the episode—her advice is such a breath of fresh air at this time of the year.
