On this episode of That’s Rad, host Anastasia sits down with Kelsey McCullough, Registered Dietitian and owner of the 21st Century R.D., to have an honest conversation about how our relationship with food and our bodies is not always as positive as we project it to be on our social media feeds. The truth is many people struggle with being comfortable in their body–and Anastasia and Kelsey dive into some of the reasons why. They discuss how diet culture has now become almost inseparable from American culture, and how that affects our perceptions of ourselves, each other, and the food we eat. They also discuss the prominence of disordered eating and some of the different forms eating disorders can take. **Listener discretion is advised as the content of this episode discusses diet culture, fad diets, obesity, BMIs, weight loss, eating disorders, and other sensitive subjects.** If you or someone you know is struggling, please call the NEDA Hotline (800) 931-2237 or visit https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/.
