Food, Body Image, and Pregnancy: Breaking Free from Diet Culture
Wednesday, 12 November, 2025
Pregnancy is undeniably a time of rapid physical change, and for women with a history of avoiding their bodies or engaging in behaviours that reinforce negative body image, that avoidance suddenly becomes impossible. While this can feel incredibly challenging, it can also open the door to meaningful healing around your relationship with food and your body. Join Dr. Sarah and Shannon Smith, a Registered Nurse with over 14 years of experience in mental health and a specialty in eating disorders, as they explore the foundations of negative body image, practical steps toward cultivating a healthier one, the impact of diet culture, and the principles of intuitive eating. This episode is grounded, compassionate, and deeply needed - especially if you’ve ever struggled with how you see or care for your body. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
