Body Image: Are you positive you actually want to be positive?
Welcome to "Change Your Relationship with Food," the podcast hosted by Kyla Holley, an experienced eating disorder and bariatric therapist. In this episode, Kyla explores the complexities of body image and societal expectations surrounding weight loss and appearance.
Kyla shares insights from her recent consultations with surgical patients, highlighting their concerns about looking "gaunt" or "scrawny." She delves into historical silhouette studies that reveal how women perceive their bodies and discusses the evolving landscape of body positivity and its potential drawbacks.
As the conversation unfolds, Kyla examines the rise of body neutrality—a movement that encourages appreciating what our bodies can do rather than how they look. She offers practical tips for embracing body neutrality and emphasizes the importance of self-appreciation and mental well-being.
Join Kyla as she navigates the intricate journey of self-acceptance and provides valuable insights for developing a healthier relationship with your body and food.
Join Kyla as she navigates this complex topic, encouraging listeners to question assumptions and consider the broader implications of how we view body weight and health.
