In today’s episode of the Understanding Disordered Eating Podcast, we will be sitting down with Rachel Tuchman, LMHC. Rachel is a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience. She has worked with many diverse populations, and now is in private practice in New York. She works with kids, teens, adults, and most importantly for our conversation is a HAES-aligned clinician. So it stands for Health at Every Size, and she dedicates a lot of her time to educating parents and kids on the importance of body respect, and the behaviors that truly honor our health. Rachel does a ton of speaking for schools and various community organizations, and is very active about this topic on social media.
In this episode, Rachel tells us what health actually means and how it differs for each person. She also educates us about the anti-diet and body positivity culture, and shares how society has contributed to having poor body image and disordered eating.
