Episode 12 of the Hello Body! podcast with your hosts, Melissa and Katy. In this episode, we talk with Ranece Parker. Ranece is a high school food & nutrition teacher in Australia. She also runs the gorgeous Instagram account @bestronglovemuch, where you’ll find her mouth-watering food photography and her yummy recipes. We ask Ranece about her history with dieting and body image and how she became a self-professed “diet culture dropout,” as well as the uphill battle she faces teaching high schoolers how to have a balanced, positive relationship with food and nutrition and the ways diet culture infiltrates so much of that curriculum. And we also talk about baking, how diet culture and an obsession with weight can steal from us that sense of fun in the kitchen — and how she was able to get it back. And we get a primer on some of Australia’s best national delicacies (did you know Melissa had never even heard of Vegemite??) Just a heads up: There are some sound issues in the middle of the episode. We tried to clean it up as best we could, but there were some problems with the recording platform we were using because all three of our audio tracks were affected. So, our apologies for that and rest assured it does go away before the end of the episode. Other than that, it’s a lovely conversation, so enjoy! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
