In the FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 2 (!!!!!) I discuss Jessica Knoll's article in the New York Times called "Smash the Wellness Industry." I break down her criticisms of wellness as it is equated to weight loss and then dig deeper by discussing fatphobia, body-shaming, and society's false equation of thinness with health. I get personal with my own toxic, diet culture journey and how veganism helped me to define my own version of wellness. Below are some helpful body-positive resources if you're looking to tackle your own internalized body-shame and fatphobia. Get mindful and be well.
