Episode 124: The F*ck It Diet with Caroline Dooner

Caroline Dooner has written one of my favorite books, The F*ck It Diet. This book is for chronic dieters who want to heal their relationship with food. Yes, hello! She joined me on the podcast this week to talk about her book, rejecting diet culture, and why, as a culture, we are so addicted to dieting.

The majority of our culture is stuck in a brainwashing assumption that food is bad and dangerous. If you've been on a million diets, and feel out of control with food, this episode (and Caroline's book) is for you.
