Take care of Your Body by Ry
Is Social Media Ruining Our Relationship With Food? | Body Image, Diet Culture & Food Freedom with RD Skylar Pieper
This week on Take Care of Your Body by Ry, I’m joined by registered dietitian Skylar Pieper, MS, RD for an honest conversation about food, body image, social media, and what it actually means to have a healthy relationship with eating. We talk about the pressure to eat “perfectly,” why food doesn’t need to be earned, the line between being health-conscious and becoming overly restrictive, and how diet culture has found its way into modern wellness content. We also get into body image, nutrition misinformation, What I Eat in a Day culture, fear around carbs and sugar, and why comparing our plates—or our bodies—to people online can get complicated fast. Skylar also shares what life is really like as an RD, what shaped her approach to nutrition, and why her philosophy “life doesn’t happen on a meal plan” matters so much. This episode is your reminder that taking care of your body doesn’t have to mean controlling it. Food can be nourishing, enjoyable, convenient, imperfect, social, and just… food.
