Gen X, Millennials, & Gen Z: How Diet Culture Hits Us Differently

Diet culture isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience—each generation has been shaped by different messaging, trends, and fears around food and bodies. In this episode, I’m breaking down how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have been uniquely impacted by shifting diet culture narratives.
From the low-fat craze and calorie counting of Gen X to Millennials’ obsession with "clean eating" and wellness, and Gen Z’s complicated relationship with body positivity and social media, we’ll explore how these cultural shifts affect the way we think about food, movement, and self-worth.
Why does this matter? Because understanding these generational influences can help us unlearn harmful patterns and move toward a more liberated relationship with our bodies. Let’s get into it!

It's Not Just in Your Head: Why Brain Over Binge Might Be Missing the Mark

Ever felt like the “just stop bingeing” advice doesn’t quite fit? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking why the Brain Over Binge approach—popular in some eating disorder recovery spaces—might not work for you. We’ll talk about the complexities of binge eating, the role of neurodivergence, trauma, and emotional regulation, and why bingeing isn’t just a “bad habit” to break.

Wounds We Carry, Hunger We Feel: Complex PTSD & Eating Disorders

What happens when trauma reshapes our relationship with food? Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) isn’t just about what happened in the past—it’s about how our bodies and minds continue to navigate safety, survival, and self-worth. In this episode, I’m unpacking the deep connections between C-PTSD and eating disorders, exploring why food can feel like both comfort and conflict, and how survival instincts shape our hunger cues. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of restriction, bingeing, or food avoidance that feel bigger than just “willpower,” you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what’s really going on—and how healing is possible.

Culturally Tailored Nutrition Care With Ke'alohi Naipo, RD @the.hawaiian.dietitian

When it comes to nutrition care, a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it—especially for those whose cultural foods have been historically pathologized or erased in mainstream dietetics. In this episode, I’m joined by Ke’alohi Naipo, RD (@the.hawaiian.dietitian), to talk about the importance of culturally tailored nutrition care. We dig into the ways colonialism has shaped food narratives, why honoring traditional foods matters in healing, and how providers can better support their clients by centering cultural knowledge. Whether you’re a clinician, someone navigating food and body struggles, or just curious about decolonizing nutrition, this conversation is for you!
