Ep. 28 - Breaking Free from Diet Culture: Sustainable Nutrition for Real Life

Diet culture has been lying to you for years: eat less, weigh less, shrink yourself, fear food. In this episode, Christy and Bethany call out the myths that keep women stuck — underfueling, fasting as a cure-all, chasing the scale, and treating cardio as the only path to health — and replace them with what actually works.They break down why chronic restriction backfires, what your body is whispering before it starts screaming, why muscle matters more than the number on the scale, and how to build a body that lasts instead of one that's punished into shape. This is the case for strength over skinny, fueling over restriction, and consistency over perfection.We are not chasing skinny. We are building health.
