Infographic showing 5 signs that diet culture is impacting your mental health.

Diet culture doesn’t just want you to hate your body—it wants you to hate yourself . If you’re exhausted by the mental load of food/weight obsession, therapy can help.


Diet culture fuels anxiety, depression and disordered eating by:

1) Creating rigid food rules that trigger guilt/shame cycles,

2) Tying self-worth to weight fluctuations,

3) “all-or-nothing” thinking (e.g., “I ate ‘bad’ food, so today is ruined”).


In the therapy space we explore how these patterns mirror other areas of life (perfectionism, people pleasing), how this is impacting your daily living, or grieve the time and energy you’ve spent worrying about these things.
