S2E11 The Toxic Language of "Wellness Culture"

In the penultimate episode of Season 2, I speak to Maxine Ali, a health writer, linguist and body image PhD researcher and she uses her platform to dissect the language of health and wellness, looking into its toxic and sexist sub-messaging. After falling hard into the clean eating culture whilst being a health journalist for a well-known women’s health magazine, Maxine left the industry in 2017 to refocus her writing and research.

Maxine and I discuss:

Gender disparities and the lack of visual representation of diverse body types in wellness culture - how this exacerbates insecurities and reinforces patriarchal ideals of beauty and femininity.
How the ‘self-improvement’ culture leads from the notion that the fault is always with the individual, never the institution or systems that uphold it
The ugly side to body positivity and toxic positivity in health communication.
How wellness culture reframes restriction and how to recognise when diet culture is silently co-opting the non-diet language
