A Cautionary Tale on Grifty Wellness MLMs and Made Up Diagnoses (Leaky Gut & Adrenal Fatigue?) with Anti-Diet Dietitian Christy Harrison  
Podcast: Bite Back with Abbey Sharp
Published On: Tue Dec 03 2024
Description: In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, and today we’re talking with anti diet dietitian and fellow podcaster and author, Christy Harrison about wellness culture grifters. We’re going to be talking a lot about how wellness culture is co-opting intuitive eating, along with the rise in different dubious diagnoses and spurious cures including leaky gut, chronic candida and adrenal fatigue. We’ll be diving into how pseudoscience wellness programs focus their efforts on cancer patients and other vulnerable people. We’re talking about wellness MLMs and why the vast majority of supplements out there are poorly manufactured and kinda BS - and why the business model may actually be making you less healthy.  And finally, I’ll be leaving you with some harrowing last thoughts about the real causes of health inequalities (aka. The social determinants of health) and how wellness culture depends on us simply ignoring them.Check in with today’s amazing guest, Christy Harrison! Website:  https://christyharrison.com/Instagram: @chr1styharrison https://rethinkingwellness.substack.com/Food Psych Podcast: https://christyharrison.com/foodpsychRethinking Wellness Podcast and Substack: https://rethinkingwellness.substack.com/Anti-Diet Book: https://christyharrison.com/book-anti-diet-intuitive-eating-christy-harrisonThe Wellness Trap Book: https://christyharrison.com/the-wellness-trap • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •✨ Reach Your Weight & Health Goals — Without Dieting!
