In this episode of the Body Trust Podcast, hosts Dana, Hilary and Sirius discuss the pervasive and shape-shifting nature of diet culture. They delve into how diet culture subtly infiltrates daily life and the ways people might unknowingly adhere to it. The hosts highlight the historical and contemporary implications of diet culture, its intersection with white supremacy, racism, classism, and sexism, and how it affects different demographics including women, men, trans and nonbinary people. They also emphasize how diet culture impacts mental health, relationships with food, and body image. The conversation includes reflections on how medical advice and social biases perpetuate harmful behaviors and beliefs, and the commodification of diet culture through various industries. The episode underscores the importance of adopting a more inclusive and intersectional perspective and challenging societal acceptance of weight stigma and anti-fat bias.

This introductory episode of The Body Trust Podcast explores the concept of ‘body trust’. Hosts Dana, Hilary and Sirius discuss the narrative arc of body trust work, which consists of three phases: rupture, reckoning, and reclamation. They emphasize that body trust is a birthright, often lost due to societal and cultural conditioning around body image, health, and diet culture. The episode explains how the body trust framework advocates for a size-inclusive model of care, rejecting harmful labels like 'overweight' and 'obese'. The conversation unpacks the impact of diet culture, and the importance of community and liberation in reclaiming a positive relationship with one's body.
