Beyond Diet Culture: A Conversation with Leslie Jordan Garcia on Race, Bodies, and Liberation
In this powerful conversation, wellness practitioner and anti-diet educator Leslie Jordan Garcia (MPH, MBA) joins me to explore the deep connections between diet culture, racism, and body liberation. From personal experiences with eating disorders to profound insights about food systems and movement, Leslie shares how her journey informed her mission to help others heal and reclaim their power. We discuss the rebranding of diet culture, the impact of racial stereotypes on healthcare, and why true wellness must include dismantling systems of oppression.
