Why Body Image Isn’t Really About Your Body with Dr Charlotte Ord
Chew On This with Dr Anna Colton · Dr Anna Colton
Beskrivelse
In this episode, I am joined by Charlotte Ord - counselling psychologist, body image specialist, eating disorder specialist, and author of Body Confident You, Body Confident Kid — for a thoughtful conversation about body image, food, control, and the messages we pass on to the next generation. Together, we explore how body image develops, why it becomes so entangled with eating behaviours, and how diet culture, restriction, shame and “food noise” can pull us further away from ourselves. We also talk about GLP-1s, weight stigma, Health at Every Size, social media, and the growing pressure on both adults and children to shrink themselves. Charlotte shares practical ways to build a healthier relationship with your body, support children to feel body confident, and shift the focus from appearance to connection, care and self-worth. It’s a nuanced, compassionate conversation full of insight, hope and genuinely helpful takeaways.
