Food Psych Podcast

Welcome to Food Psych®, a podcast dedicated to critiquing diet and wellness culture.

In weekly episodes, I answer listener questions and talk with guests about making peace with food, healing from disordered eating, (re)learning intuitive eating, challenging harmful beliefs about wellness, and more—all from a body-positive, anti-diet perspective. Along the way, I share my own journey from disordered eater and dieter to food writer and anti-diet dietitian.

This podcast challenges diet culture in all its forms—including the restrictive behaviors that often masquerade as wellness and fitness.

Launched in 2013, Food Psych is now regularly in Apple’s top 100 Health podcasts, with tens of thousands of listeners worldwide. Explore the most recent episodes below, and be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts (or your favorite podcast app) so you never miss an episode!

Podcast Testimonials
The New York Times

“The dietitian Christy Harrison’s inspiring show is one of the best resources if you’re intrigued by this size-inclusive movement; the show promotes a clean break from traditional diet culture and features interviews with guests who discuss how they’re unlearning years of restrictive, unhealthy behaviors. Harrison’s approach is unapologetically radical, dismantling the ways in which diet culture is a 'life thief' and how wellness can provide a smoke screen for disordered eating. Listen, and feel your perspective shift.”
