My guest this week is a friend of mine, Kirsty Wood, RD.
Kirsty is a Confidence & Empowerment Coach as well as being a Registered Dietitian specialising in gut health and digestion, intuitive eating and helping people to improve their relationship with food.
I wanted Kirsty and I to have both a personal and professional chat about the overwhelming pressure placed upon women to look a certain way in a society fuelled by patriarchy, capitalism and media messaging.
We discuss our personal struggles with body image, food, and eating disorders while growing up in the ’90s, surrounded by diet culture. Kirsty shares insights from her work, examines today’s trends, weight stigma, and fatphobia, and highlights how far we still have to go.
We also explore the impact of weight-related comments—whether about loss or gain—and how damaging they can be. Plus, we discuss the harmful messages still directed at women around food and body image, and how Kirsty plans to raise her daughter with a positive relationship with food and movement.
