Health isn't just nutrition and exercise

In this episode, Claire explores the concepts of health and healthism and explains why nutrition is more than food and fitness.

The effects of Zoom on body image

With the significant rise in video conferencing that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic we also saw an increase in the amount of time we spend looking at ourselves on camera. Maybe you've experienced hours upon hours of watching your facial expressions, feeling weird eating on camera, and maybe having a new source of body image stress. For others, maybe being on Zoom lets you think less about your appearance and the return to in-person is aggravating your body image anxieties. Both of these experiences have been documented in the research. In this episode, Claire shares research on the effects of Zoom on body image and seven tips to combat the negative effects video calls may be having on you.
