    Redefining Health: An Honest Conversation on Food, Body Image and Community w/ Heather Creekmore

    Redefining Health: An Honest Conversation on Food, Body Image and Community w/ Heather Creekmore

    What if I told you that body image issues are not...actually about our body?
    What if I told you that health is not solely about food and exercise?
    What if we're getting it all wrong?
    ...and because of it our relationships are seeing the consequences?
    ...and because of it the way we 'show up' is being impacted.

    This conversation with Heather Creekmore is gold mine. Author of the book 40-Day Body Image Workbook, her platform helps thousands of women around the world redefine the way the approach body image, stop comparing and find freedom.

    Talking through everything from how various personality types view identity to how 'being in the kitchen' can be a form of control - through this conversation we will get to the heart of overcoming body issues once and for all.

    The Sunday Read: ‘Bariatric Surgery at 16’

    The Sunday Read: ‘Bariatric Surgery at 16’

    Last fall, Alexandra Duarte, who is now 16, went to see her endocrinologist at Texas Children’s Hospital, outside Houston. From age 10, she had been living with polycystic ovary syndrome and, more recently, prediabetes. After Alexandra described her recent quinceañera, the doctor brought up an operation that might benefit her, one that might help her lose weight and, as a result, improve these obesity-related problems.

    Alexandra, who smiles shyly and speaks softly but confidently, says she was “a little skeptical at first because, like, it’s a surgery.” But her mother, Gabriela Velez, suggested that her daughter consider it. “Ever since I was a toddler, my mom knew that I was struggling with obesity,” Alexandra says.

    The teasing started in fifth grade. Alexandra couldn’t eat without her classmates staring at and judging her. Though she sought counseling for her sadness and anxiety, these troubles still caused her to leave school for a month. The bullying finally stopped after she switched schools in 10th grade, but Alexandra’s parents knew how deeply she continued to suffer. How much more could their daughter endure? After the doctor suggested bariatric surgery, an operation on the gastrointestinal tract that helps patients lose weight, they spoke to friends who had successfully been through the procedure as adults. They decided it was a smart option for her. Alexandra wasn’t sure.

    The ‘silent epidemic’ of eating disorders, with Cheri Levinson, PhD

    The ‘silent epidemic’ of eating disorders, with Cheri Levinson, PhD

    Researchers who study eating disorders sometimes call them the silent epidemic. Despite the stereotype that these disorders afflict only young white women, the truth is that they occur among people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, races, shapes and sizes. Cheri Levinson, PhD, of the University of Louisville, discusses myths about eating disorders, how our toxic diet culture combined with genetic vulnerability can spur eating disorders, what treatments are available, and how researchers are using new technologies to come up with more effective personalized treatments and expand access to care.

    Eating Disorders: Beyond the Unknown - Episode 4 - Bodies, Eating, and Living Well

    This episode of Eating Disorders: Beyond the Unknown will explore the spectrum of eating behaviours from having a good relationship with food through to disordered eating and eating disorders. Join our co-hosts; psychologist and National Director of the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC), Dr Beth Shelton; and carer and CEO of Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV), Belinda Caldwell, as they interrogate the question, ‘what is “normal” eating?’

    Tune in as Beth and Belinda are joined by Shane Jeffrey, a dietitian working predominantly with people experiencing disordered eating and eating disorders. Their thought-provoking discussion will challenge commonly held beliefs about eating behaviours, the point at which disordered eating behaviours are at risk of becoming an eating disorder, and the difference between dieting and disordered eating.

    Shane shares valuable and practical tips for health practitioners to begin a conversation with their clients about food and eating behaviour, and through exploring the link between thoughts, emotions, and eating - how he helps individuals living with an eating disorder re-establish an uncomplicated relationship with eating. In reflecting on the personal experience of eating and bodies for all people, practitioners will learn a structured approach to supporting people experiencing disordered eating or an eating disorder.
