Today I'm expanding on my stories from last week that blew up my DM's: about feeling completely, utterly alone — and wearing different masks depending on the social setting — being a social chameleon, of sorts.

Today I have Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN on the pod. While we can all agree that diet culture is ~traumatizing~, Keri believes the anti-diet space has gone too far — causing us to feel guilt and shame for choosing healthy options.

This was slightly different than the content I usually share, and loved hearing a new perspective from Keri. Curious to hear your feedback — send me a DM!
