The issues of eating disorders and disordered eating among midlife women is not often discussed but is definitely a problem. Studies report that up to 15% of women in midlife can suffer from an eating disorder.
Often this is fueled by changes to our body that come about during menopause. Society tells us that we should still have a body like we did in our 20's and 30's and that's just not realistic.
My guest on this podcast is Debra Benfield a self-proclaimed Body Justice Warrior.
Debra works with women to first transform their mindset and shift thoughts about their bodies - to embrace and love their midlife body.
This was such an important and enlightening conversation! We covered:
- Why BMI is BS!
- Why carbs are necessary for us in midlife (so have that piece of bread!)
- Why diet drugs can be a dangerous fad.
- Why you should never get dieting ideas from social media.
- 3 steps to transform your thoughts about your body and agism.
This is a MUST LISTEN episode for you and any of your friends who might be struggling with body image issues.
You can learn more about Debra at her Instagram page @agingbodyliberation.
