9. How to Protect Your Heart From New Year Diet Culture Pressure w/ Dr. Alisa Shanks
Description
If January diet culture has you making a list of everything wrong with your body before the month even starts, press play on this one next. Dr. Alisa Shanks joins Chrissy to name what the New Year frenzy really costs and how to guard your heart against it before another resolution list gets written.
Dr. Shanks walks through the financial and emotional toll of diet culture, backed by a $305 billion Dove and Harvard study most people have never heard of, and where dieting quietly slides into something more dangerous. She breaks down the full armor of God from Ephesians 6 as a framework for the weeks ahead, and gives specific steps for curating your feed, protecting yourself at doctor visits, and holding your ground with people you love who don't realize they're speaking the language of diet culture. You'll leave this episode with something to stand on: your worth was never up for negotiation, no matter what size the belt of truth comes in.
