EP - 33 - The Toxicity of Diet Culture

Welcome back, friends!

This week's episode is brought to you by diet culture, and it's a very toxic one at that!


We delve into what diet culture is, how it affects our mental health, and where we find diet culture lurking.  


Remember this; I'm all about adopting healthy habits that take into consideration your mental health.  Adopt habits that don't force you to alter your body to fit into society's unhealthy beauty standards and body ideals.  


Check out The Once Broken Podcast, hosted by Bianca Amos.  She asked me to come onto her show as a guest, and we discussed our personal experiences regarding Diet Culture. Follow her and check out the link in her bio for the full episode entitled: Diet Culture is Wack!

About the Podcast

Beauty Unlocked the podcast
Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

Hey there!
I'm Carissa, host, content creator, and producer of the indie podcast Beauty Unlocked.
Growing up, I was frequently compared and criticized for my looks and weight. This started the vicious cycle of being self-critical and loathing my body. I knew I wasn't the only one suffering from society's ridiculous notion of what "we should look like." I started digging deeper and researching various topics, and the rest is h(er)story!
Beauty Unlocked The Podcast aims to educate and bring awareness of our society's obsession with physical beauty and the emotional consequences these impossible beauty standards have. Beauty Unlocked's social media platform showcases not only my work but that of other artists, illustrators, and fellow podcasters that I admire and that share a similar message of inspiration, empowerment, positivity, and raising awareness on a variety of social issues.
