“Body Image, GLP-1s, & the Resurgence of Diet Culture”
with Dr. Charlotte Ord
Dr. Charlotte Ord is a UK-based Counselling Psychologist who specializes in helping adolescents and adults with issues around body image, eating disorders, self-esteem and self-acceptance. She was formerly an international strength and conditioning coach and was twice named UK Personal Trainer of the Year.
In today’s episode, we discuss the current resurgence of diet culture, the complexities around the increased usage of GLP-1s, the unhelpful conflation of weight and health, and how the inundation of weight loss ads might be impacting our relationships with our bodies. Dr. Ord also discusses her book entitled, Body Confident You, Body Confident Kid, including ideas for how we might help ourselves and the children in our lives move toward increased body confidence.
So, if you long to feel more grounded in a culture that seeks to stir up, then profit on body insecurities, this episode is for you.
The Interview
Are you tired of being sold a broken brand of beauty?
The brand of beauty we are so often sold is way too small. It divides and dis-integrates us. I am on a mission to expand and re-discover beauty, authentic beauty. I believe beauty is the life of God at work in us and among us. Will you join me in exploring that kind of beauty?
