I wrote about magnesium supplements for @health_com_ -- if you've been confused re: all the different forms (and if you need one or not!) I hope it helps!

New recipe up on the website! If you like a tahini + chocolate combo... you will love.

I think anyone who goes on social media to tell other people to follow their morning routine should also have to disclose household income and work schedule.

Check your frozen strawberries!

If you ponder how to exist (survive?) in beauty culture then this convo between @v_solesmith and @elisewho
is a must read (or listen). It's a really thoughtful and nuanced look at community, society, capitalism and where individuals fit/are affected.

If you've seen @MichelleObama new kids' product and felt really bummed, @v_solesmith also felt bummed and put it into pretty perfect words.

. @jessicadefino_ Substack is always so good and this one on the Martha Stewart SI cover is no exception. Highly recommend.

This entire thread is so important
To be clear, I believe in healing & recovery or I wouldn’t do the work I do. But we need to take systems of oppression into account when having these conversations. And we need to broaden our definitions of recovery, or rather, recognize that it’ll look different for each person!

Great points to look out for to spot a diet-industry even disguised as anti-weight-stigma.
There's a lot of this going around, so we're talking about how to spot a fake anti-weight-stigma event on Weight and Healthcare:

Go @v_solesmith ! So happy to see this topic discussed on @GMA and for @v_solesmith awesome book to be highlighted (it's such a great resource!!).
Virginia Sole-Smith's new book, “Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture,” takes a closer look on diet culture’s negative impact on children and how parents can take a stand against it. @evapilgrim has more.
"We as a culture have really zeroed in on weight, because we think that's the piece that we should be able to control. But not only do we not have very much control over weight, it also won't fix anything else..." npr.org/sections/health-shot…
This entire thread is really important.
When someone says that they wouldn’t date a plus size person because they want someone who “takes care of themselves,” we know it has nothing to do with a sexual preference and everything to do with fatphobia and the generalization that fat people don’t take care of themselves.

Really great idea. Would also add a small toy -- when we went to the ER last year they had someone who brought a toy to play with but that didn't happen right away.
If you are a parent of little kids I cannot recommend enough having an ER go-bag. The first few times I found myself in the ER w/ a sick kid I didn’t have anything but the shirt on my back & a purse and realized just how awful it is. Here is what I suggest: 🧵

Another great read about @v_solesmith as her pub date on her new book approaches! Also, the comments on this one are... exactly why her book is SO needed.
@v_solesmith wants her readers to understand that there’s no harmless way to keep pursuing thinness — for your child or yourself. She knows it’s a tough pill to swallow. Read @ericaschwie's profile of the author of FAT TALK trib.al/8OsbGV2

What an incredible article (and peek at @v_solesmith upcoming book!)
"We may watch our child absorb a stray comment like 'maybe less juice, Mom,' and wonder how deeply it will embed in their sense of themselves." In an excerpt from her upcoming book, @v_solesmith writes about how doctors may inadvertently fat-shame kids time.com/6262724/fat-talk-do…
Really great distinction.
People often ask if they can be anti-diet with a medical condition that is impacted by certain foods & the answer is YES.
Being anti-diet doesn’t mean you have to eat all foods. It means you get to make autonomous decisions that are rooted in your embodiment, not diet culture.

Weight is not a behavior and when we consider it as one, we leave out conversations and support regarding actual behaviors. 🧵1/8

This. The more I saw the research and lived experiences the more it became clear that I couldn't ethically be a part of recommending weight loss interventions.
Being honest about the near total lack of efficacy of weight loss interventions is not being "biased against weight loss." I can't ethically recommend a so-called healthcare interventionthat that almost always results in weight cycling, which is independently linked to harm
