If you're paying attention in the nutrition space you've probably heard the term "diet culture." We see this phrase thrown around a lot and realize that not everyone fully understands what it is and how it impacts our lives.
This discussion is to provide definition and context to diet culture. We reveal how diet culture is ingrained in us from a very young age, why it is so harmful and how sneaky it can be in the wellness industry.
If you've been listening to Middleish for a while, you'll recognize how many of our past topics focus on dismantling diet culture and revealing it for the lying, damaging institution that it is.
Erin Green is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, recovering professional triathlete and owner of Erin Green Racing and Nutrition in Boise, Idaho.

Michael Gray is a personal trainer, nutritional coach, father of two and a sucker for a bag of gummy bears. See what he's up to at www.michaelgrayfitness.com.
Let us know you like what you hear! Small donations from our listeners help to support Michael's gummy bear habit or go toward a new houseplant that will inevitably die under Erin's care. We appreciate all of our Middleish listeners! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/middleish/support
