Summary

Food & body judgment from others can really throw you off in recovery. 


This is a challenge intimately understood by eating disorder survivor and popular content creator Amir Yass.

With an impressive 30 million views on Tik Tok, he's no stranger to comments and judgments when it comes to food, body, and his identity as a queer Muslim and LGBTQ+ activist.

Amir was raised in Orange County, California by his parents who immigrated from Iran. He also knows the impact that comments from parents can have, especially when coming from strong opinions based in different cultures.


Take a listen as he joins host Andrea Wells to share insights and practical steps on rising above outside noise around body and food from parents, peers, and the world at large. 


The 5 ways to quiet FOOD NOISE and BODY SHAME brought on by parents are:

  1. Education
  2. Communication
  3. Set Boundaries
  4. Seek Support From Others
  5. Engage in Self Care
