Episode 2529:

Crystal Karges delves into the often-misunderstood realm of diet culture, shining a light on how striving for health can paradoxically lead down a path of disordered eating. Her insightful narrative reveals the detrimental effects of equating health with dietary restrictions and excessive exercise, advocating for a holistic view of well-being that encompasses mental, physical, and social health. Karges' powerful message encourages a shift away from destructive habits toward a more compassionate, fulfilling approach to food and self-care.

Quotes to ponder:

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

"Doing all the things that were supposed to be 'healthy' were hurting me, physically, emotionally, and mentally."
