Body of Truth by Harriet Brown with Dr. Lisa Folden

Episode Summary

My discussion with Dr. Lisa Folden about Harriet Brown's Body of Truth

Episode Notes

I love book people. If you talk the language of books, you and me, we'll get along and Dr. Lisa, she talked the language of books. Her story into body liberation began with a book that was also my starting point and in this discussion we jump into Harriet Brown's Body of Truth. We cover a lot of ground, including:

Lisa's body liberation journey
How she got away from using diet culture in her physiotherapy practice
Why Lisa picked this book
Harriet Brown's journey with her daughters anorexia
Parenting children to positive body image
Where Lisa got messages about her body growing up
How science, history and culture drive our obsession with weight
Navigating every day life while trying to be body positive
Wanting to burn it all down!
How money and diet culture are entwined
Bypass surgery and the problems it can create
The solutions
Where can people start?

Keep reading everyone!
