In the penultimate episode of Season 2, I speak to Maxine Ali (https://www.instagram.com/maxineali/), a health writer, linguist and body image PhD researcher and she uses her platform to dissect the language of health and wellness, looking into its toxic and sexist sub-messaging. After falling hard into the clean eating culture whilst being a health journalist for a well-known women’s health magazine, Maxine left the industry in 2017 to refocus her writing and research.
Maxine and I discuss:
Gender disparities and the lack of visual representation of diverse body types in wellness culture - how this exacerbates insecurities and reinforces patriarchal ideals of beauty and femininity.
How the ‘self-improvement’ culture leads from the notion that the fault is always with the individual, never the institution or systems that uphold it
The ugly side to body positivity and toxic positivity in health communication.
How wellness culture reframes restriction and how to recognise when diet culture is silently co-opting the non-diet language

S2E10 Why You Need to Know About the Menopausal Transition
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Jenn Salib Huber (https://www.instagram.com/menopause.nutritionist/), dietitian, naturopathic doctor and intuitive eating coach. Jenn provides expert health and hormone support to women in midlife without a side of diet culture!
Every woman is going to go through menopause at some point in their life, often though it is coupled with trouble sleeping, multitasking, thinking straight and generally coping with everyday life. This can be very stressful and cause depressive symptoms for many women, along with losing zest for life, and many women resort to using antidepressants. So it’s about time we spoke about it!
Jenn and I discussed:
Barriers to discussing the menopause
What actually is menopause and peri-menopause?
Symptoms
Early menopause
The hormones involved
Eating well for the menopause
Alternative therapies to dealing with severe symptoms

We also delve into the adverse effects of eating below maintenance for a prolonged period of time, and particularly relevant to this time of year, Why not asking WHY might be the reason your new year's resolutions fail!
