  Episode 194: Lisa Diers RDN, LD, E-RYT-Is Diet Culture Disconnecting You from Your Body?

  Aug 17, 202634 min

  Diet and wellness culture have a way of disconnecting us from our bodies and a life-giving relationship with food. Thankfully, professionals like Lisa Diers are working to help people heal their relationship with their bodies and with food. Lisa Diers is a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified yoga teacher who specializes in supporting eating disorder and body image recovery. Lisa has a combined over 20 years of experience in nutrition and yoga services and previously served as the National Nutrition and Yoga Director for a large national eating disorder treatment program. In my time with Lisa, we discuss current lies associated with diet culture, how nutrition therapy and yoga can bring about reconnection with food and our bodies, and more about the Soul-Deep Beauty Retreat at Hinshon Farms on October 3rd. In a world where messages around food and our bodies can bring about confusion and disconnection, my hope is that this episode and the upcoming Soul-Deep Beauty Retreat might bring about grounding and reconnection.

  Episode 192: Kelsey McGinnis-The Dangers of Christian Diet and Wellness Culture

  May 11, 202654 min

  It seems like wellness influencers are everywhere these days: often touting diet and exercise habits, alongside a certain aesthetic, as the pathway to health and self-optimization. But what happens when this cultural trend gets conflated with Christian ideas, or as Kelsey McGinnis says it, when such ideas get “faith washed”? Kelsey Kramer McGinnis is a writer, musicologist, and the co-author of The Myth of Good Christian Parenting: How False Promises Failed a Generation of Evangelicals . Kelsey is also a regular contributor to Christianity Today, where she reports on worship practices, the music industry, and church culture. She also teaches music, theology, and social justice as a lecturer at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. In my time with Kelsey, she shares research from her upcoming book, including what Christian diet and wellness culture is, its history, and how it can become problematic. We also discuss the rising prevalence of the fixation on ‘healthy eating,’ how certain Christian subcultures have adopted this trend, and when such a fixation might not be so healthy.This is such an important episode.
