Om avsnittet

Want to protect your teen from toxic diet culture and social media pressure? About 1 in 5 kids and teens show signs of disordered eating. A psychologist and eating disorder specialist shares how to help your teen build a healthier relationship with food and their body.

If you're worried your teen may have an eating disorder, talk with your pediatrician, or contact the ANAD Helpline at 1-888-375-7767 (US) for support. Project HEAL also offers free clinical assessments.

👉 Want your teen to feel at home in their body? Inside Parenting Teens Academy, parents learn how to talk about food and bodies without causing harm, quiet the messages telling their teen they're not enough, and stay close through the hard moments. Try it free for 7 days

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kelli Rugless, a licensed psychologist, certified eating disorder specialist, and Chief Clinical Officer at Project HEAL, a nonprofit working to make eating disorder care available to everyone. She also owns Flourish Psychology, a group practice specializing in eating disorders and body image.

If your teen compares themselves to influencers, talks about dieting, or seems unhappy with their body, this conversation helps you push back on diet culture at home.

  • How to foster a healthy relationship with food at home
