They share insights on why many people resort back to old dieting habits and how these are not sustainable for long-term well-being. The conversation delves into the cultural shifts around resolutions, the impact of diet culture, and offers alternative ways to approach self-care and community well-being without falling into the traps of toxic wellness culture. The episode encourages listeners to adopt more compassionate, flexible, and body-positive practices for the new year.
