  • Is It Ok To Gift Anti-Aging Products, Thanksgiving Food Failures, The Intersection of Internalized Ageism & Fat Phobia
    Dec 7 2025

    This week on The Diet Obsessed Podcast, I cover a variety of fascinating topics in my regular segments, including:

    • When abrupt change affects mental health.
    • Is it rude to gift other people anti-aging products?
    • When Thanksgiving food is VERY disappointing :(

    In this week's podcast review, I highlighted the topic of the intersection of Internalized Ageism and how it intersects with Fat Phobia and Diet Culture, as discussed on the podcast Burnt Toast with host and author Virginia Sole-Smith.

    Virginia invited guest Debra Benfield, RDN who is a registered dietician focused on the intersection of anti-ageism and body liberation. Her book Unapologetic Aging: How to Mend and Nourish Your Relationship with Your Body helps create a framework for nourishing the body in a way that honors body respect, prioritizes liberation and embraces the full spectrum of aging. This was a fascinating conversation and you won't want to miss this review, along with my personal takes!
