It is no secret that there are many pitfalls of the wellness industry. It can be incredibly toxic, exclusive, misguided, and downright dangerous. This $5.6 Trillion (and growing) industry is more concerned with making more money than health and well-being.
Today’s episode is a conversion from our Summer Instagram Live Series with Christy Harrison, MPH, RD, CEDS. Christy is a journalist, registered dietitian, and certified intuitive eating counselor. She’s the author of The Wellness Trap: Break Free from Diet Culture, Disinformation, and Dubious Diagnoses and Find Your True Well-Being (released in April 2023) and Anti-Diet: Reclaim Your Time, Money, Well-Being, and Happiness Through Intuitive Eating.
Christy and Dr. MC discuss the problematic pitfalls of the wellness industry, anti-far bias, trauma, and eating disorder recovery.
