   How to Tell If Wellness Advice Is Just Diet Culture in Disguise

   In this episode of Inclusive Movement & Nutrition Ireland, Maggie sits down with embodied yoga and yoga nidra teacher Laura Doyle to explore the often-hidden layers of diet culture, body trust, and what it means to truly heal. Laura shares her personal story of recovery from binge eating, perfectionism, and body dysmorphia, and how her yoga practice has become a path to self-connection and empowerment. Together, they unpack how wellness culture, fitness spaces, and even body positivity can sometimes reinforce the very things they aim to dismantle. This is a deep, honest, and incredibly validating conversation for anyone seeking liberation from diet culture. Key Highlights: Laura shares her journey through binge eating, body dysmorphia, and finding healing through yoga. Insight into how diet culture has “shape-shifted” into wellness and lifestyle narratives. The co-opting of body positivity by diet culture – and why that’s so harmful. Why praise for weight loss can be one of the most damaging reinforcements of body hierarchy. Rebuilding trust in your body and your hunger after years of external control. How strength training and embodied movement in inclusive spaces rebuilds agency and confidence. The importance of noticing, pausing, and honest reflection in healing – and how Laura uses internal cues to spot when support is needed.
