Shoulders Down
Is TikTok Wrecking Your Body Image & Self-Esteem? with Lizzy Pope, PhD, RD
In this week’s episode I’m joined by return guest Lizzy Pope, a professor and director of the undergraduate dietetics program at the University of Vermont. Lizzy is also a certified intuitive eating counselor and her research focuses on weight-inclusive nutrition education and manifestations of diet culture in social media.
Together, we discuss:
- How weight inclusivity & the rise of Ozempic have impacted dietetics
- The glorification of weight loss on TikTok
- The lack of expert voices providing nutrition content
- How TikTok videos perpetuate thin privilege and racism
- The challenges of learning and teaching weight inclusivity
