**TRIGGER WARNING** This episode discusses weight loss, diets/diet culture, eating disorders, and body image issues. Please take care as you listen. We invite you to stop, pause, or fast forward at any time.**
Abra is joined by co-worker/friend, Jess to discuss what happens when diet culture meets toxic religion, specifically in the manifestation of the infamous Weigh Down Diet/Remnant Church in Brentwood, TN. While we may have approached the conversation with a lot of laughter and moments of silliness, we do actually take this topic very seriously. We encourage you to seek professional help, if you are struggling with any form of eating disorder/disordered eating. We also encourage you to seek professional help, if you feel you are in an unsafe or abusive environment. This podcast is never a replacement for professional advice and treatment. Please do your own research and do what best supports your needs!
