Diet culture is everywhere — and for many, it quietly fuels disordered eating, body shame, and eating disorders long before we realize it.

In this episode of Recovery Rising, Kelly and Reva have an honest, lived-experience conversation about diet culture, how deeply it impacts our relationship with food and our bodies, and the powerful role it plays in eating disorders and disordered eating.

We talk about what it means to rise above diet culture — not through perfection or “doing it right,” but through curiosity, compassion, and reclaiming trust in ourselves. From recognizing harmful narratives to challenging food rules and body ideals, this episode centers on healing, awareness, and choosing recovery in a world that often pushes the opposite.

Whether you’re in recovery, questioning your relationship with food, or hoping to better understand the sociocultural forces behind eating disorders, this episode offers validation, insight, and hope.
💛 Diet Culture might be normalized but it is NOT normal and you are not the problem.
💛 Healing is possible--and worth celebrating.

We also share how we celebrate recovery, and we would love to hear how you celebrate your own recovery and healing. Let us know in the comments here or private message us on social.
