  • Insightful but please ditch the self-promo

    The episodes are very informative and insightful in combatting harmful diet culture ideas. However, the continuous self-promotion (different books and courses etc) drives me crazy. I understand the author needs money to be able to continue to do this work, but I highly recommend taking it down a notch.

  • If you’re addicted to the scale you need to listen up

    This lady is talking radical sense every woman should want to hear. I’ve been listening to Christie for 4 years and she’s changed my life.

Even if you don’t think you need it, listen anyway. You might be surprised to realise that what you think isn’t a diet actually is. And to learn that there’s another way to see and live life, without needing ... more

  • Life changing

    This was radical for the time when it launched, and it still swims upstream in 2024 though the zeitgeist has ostensibly adopted superficial tenants body positivity. Christy is a leading expert in the field and shares her bombshell insights in such compassionate delivery. Life changing for those who struggle with diet culture and/or disordered eating.

  • Revised Review 3 years later obesity is a life thief

    I’ve recently discovered intuitive eating and I’m so grateful I found your podcast. Thank you for putting this good information out there. I see the intuitive eating and HAES movements being usurped by the diet industry. So please, please keep doing what you’re doing. 3 YEARS LATER: EDIT 3 years later I gained 100 pounds. Yes dieting is a life thief. But you know what else is? Being 100+ pounds over weight. I cannot access my life the way I want to. So now instead of dieting consuming my mind a... more
