Explore how to escape the simple rules and moral judgments of diet culture and instead use the science of food and nutrition in a flexible, adaptive, and empowering way that fits your life. Drawing on the themes of her book You Are More Than What You Eat, Dr Emma Beckett will unpack how nutrition science can guide us toward more healthful and joyful eating, without perfectionism, guilt, or fear. Through evidence, insight, and a touch of sass, Dr Emma shows how embracing imperfection, curiosity and complexity can help us build a more balanced, confident, and sustainable relationship with food.
