Episode 2984:
Leigh Peele challenges the rebranded face of diet culture, revealing how the mantra “strong is the new beautiful” often masks the same harmful behaviors in a new form. She advocates for a compassionate approach to health that prioritizes mental well-being, intuitive choices, and strength rooted in self-respect rather than societal pressure.

Quotes to ponder:
"‘Strong is the new beautiful’ quickly turned into another way for women to feel like they’re not good enough."
"This new message came with a different disguise, but the same rules: restrict, control, be smaller, do more."
"You can train because you love your body, not because you hate it."
