“Being your true self is the best gift you can give yourself.” -Dr. Shawn Hondorp

 
 
 

Fact: Children of mothers who are overly concerned about their weight are at increased risk for modeling their unhealthy attitudes and behaviors.

Let’s learn how we can reconcile the urge to fall into the thin ideal that society promotes. Breaking up with diet culture can help protect our kids from it.

In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, Dr. Shawn Hondorp and I have an eye-opening conversation about diet culture and disordered eating.

Some of the topics covered in today’s episode include:

  • Shawn’s experience with disordered eating

  • How to reconcile the unrealistic standards of diet culture and fat phobia

  • Society’s obsession with thinness

  • Self-determination theory

  • Her number one tip for busy mothers that want to live a healthier lifestyle
