Summary

The toxic AF billion-dollar diet industry perpetuates the message that our bodies are never “enough” (skinny enough, strong enough, curvy enough, whatever enough) using predatory tactics to keep us opening our wallets for the newest “craze” or “fix.” Today’s guest is here to call bullsh*t. Tori is joined by former Division I volleyball player, TED Talk speaker, and mental health advocate Victoria Garrick. In this vulnerable episode, Tori and Victoria share their stories of growing up surrounded by diet culture, how companies use shame to make us actively hate our bodies, and what we can do to fight back. Victoria is the host of RealPod, and the Founder & CEO of the mental health non-profit, The Hidden Opponent, which supports college athletes in their mental health journeys. This episode deals with topics like disordered eating and body image. We have linked resources in our show notes to support you if you are seeking help.
