Navigating the Complexities of Body Image in a GLP-1 Era with Anna Sweeney

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Something I've noticed in any body image healing exploration is how private body image concerns are. About 84% of women struggle with body image, yet something so prevalent is often kept hidden. 

I wonder what could change if how hard it is to live in a body could be openly discussed and supported, where conversations could look like: 

Person 1: How are you today?

Person 2: I'm actually having a really hard time with my body image today.

Person 1: Thanks for letting me know. I struggle a lot too. Is there anything you need in this experience today? 

I want to normalize body image struggles because I sense this might be the first step toward changing the conversations around living in a body. 

Rather than beginning with body acceptance or body love, sometimes you first just need to be with that, sometimes, because of a million different reasons, it is hard to be in your body and to like the way your body looks. 

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Anna Sweeney, Nutrition Therapist and Registered Dietitian, about: 

• The complexities of body image healing
• The impact of societal messaging and social media
• Challenging body image norms
• The GLP-1 craze we're in right now
• Medical stigma
• Finding safety in the body
