Join Ailey Jolie and Dr Emilia Thompson, a Registered Nutritionist, Educator, Mentor, and Meditation Teacher, on this episode of In This Body. Together, they explore the often-overlooked connection between embodiment, nutrition, and fitness while addressing pervasive myths spread by diet culture.

Emphasising the value of individualised support for fostering a healthy relationship with food and body, this conversation is as enlightening as it is comforting. We hope you enjoy the episode.
