About this listen

 Raise your hand if your body image has been personally victimized by almond moms, wellness culture, or the rise of ozempic. You're not alone - it's in our DNA as millennials; we're here to flip the script. Welcome to the Millennial Body Image Project, where we empower you with the tools to dismantle wellness culture, challenge weight stigma, and discuss the intersectional systems shaping the way we view our bodies. Because your body is not a problem to be fixed. Cristina Hoyt, MS CNS LDN and Dana Monsees, MS CNS LDN are on a mission to call out harmful messaging, discern fact from fiction, and ultimately guide you through the messiness of body image, how it impacts your health and your relationship with food.2024 Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

This week we're unpacking emotional eating myths, stigma, and why some approaches to "healing" emotional eating are actually making the problem worse. We'll also talk about how improving your relationship with food shouldn't hinge on weight loss - and what you can do instead.

  • "Why can't I stop eating?" Real talk on overeating, binge eating and scavenger eating

    "Why can't I stop eating?" Real talk on overeating, binge eating and scavenger eating
    Nov 5 2025

    If you don't know what "normal" eating feels like any more, or you're confused about how much you "should" be eating, this episode is for you.

    Let's talk about overeating, binge eating, and binge eating disorder — and what actually separates them. We'll explore the spectrum of eating experiences — from neutral or emotional eating all the way to diagnosable binge eating disorder — and why understanding the why behind your behaviors matters more than slapping on a label. If you've ever felt confused, ashamed, or stuck in patterns with food, this one's for you.
