This introductory episode of The Body Trust Podcast explores the concept of ‘body trust’. Hosts Dana, Hilary and Sirius discuss the narrative arc of body trust work, which consists of three phases: rupture, reckoning, and reclamation. They emphasize that body trust is a birthright, often lost due to societal and cultural conditioning around body image, health, and diet culture. The episode explains how the body trust framework advocates for a size-inclusive model of care, rejecting harmful labels like 'overweight' and 'obese'. The conversation unpacks the impact of diet culture, and the importance of community and liberation in reclaiming a positive relationship with one's body.
